This is something I find interesting. I act completely different on Hubski than when I'm not. It's as if the bar is just a little higher than where I usually am at. I like to think this lets me strive to be a better person.

I noticed my mindset changed drastically when I joined hubski and purged my reddit of any "bad" subreddits and added all "good" subreddits. My actions are still the same though, which sucks.

That's not a bad place to be. It's so much easier to be a dick online, where none of your interactions have immediately trackable real-world consequences. If you find that you're being more civil online rather than less, I think it speaks well of your moral character.

I'm just still trying to find that sweet spot between staying civil and not coming off as an insufferably boring blowhard.
