Wouldn't it be weird if there was a trolly, venomous bubble that formed in Hubski that we'd all miss because we filtered it out? It'd be a microcosm, under our nose the whole time.

That's kind of the idea behind web of trust models of things. I kind of wish the moderation could be slightly altered to go that route. Communities or webs of people would be formed and they wouldn't know the other groups even really existed unless they hit "global" or sought it out. It's quite a fascinating model to study.

Hubski is sort of a simpler version of something like that.

The problem I have with that kind of approach is that we end up in smaller and smaller echo chambers.

I hope that tags will help to keep that from happening—a general tag ought to have a mix of viewpoints, and unless we block all people we disagree with, their posts will appear in our feeds.
