In all seriousness, is this site going to become the next circlejerk phenomenon? Because I keep hearing about this sense of community here, when you can get the same thing in any invite-only subreddit.
Hey, why didn't you do something fun like committing account murder-suicide to all of the subreddits you mod? Or at the very least modding me. God, Syncretic.
I definitely thought about it, but /u/kjoneslol was the 2nd or 3rd mod in most of my big subreddits, and he is a good friend of mine, I wouldn't want to take the rug out from under him like that. I seriously considered just closing down every subreddit where I was top mod, but I didn't want people harassing me at work, it's not too hard to track down my real life identity via my Flickr or G+ profiles.
Ahhh, I understand. I'm much easier to find than I'd like to be too. Well, if you're ever feeling rebellious you could always mod me! Jk, lol... But seriously tho
If you ignore circlejerk tags, and/or people who subscribe to the circlejerk/red.dit/cultofpersonality life then you have nothing to worry about. twenty minutes of ignoring tags and/or circlejerkers after syncretic quitting that other site, has made my hubski experience right back to where i like it. Splendid!
As far as ignoring individual people, I try to use a little more discretion. As far as ignoring certain tags concerning the other site, its helped clean up the signal to noise ratio. Thats just how i'm dealing with it, to make my experience cleaner. If someone else wants to make this their cool new lil "other site clone" spot and giggle around with their buddies and pat each other on the back for their contentless raving, thats fine for them, as for me, I decline. I'm choosing my own adventure, and they're choosing theirs. :)
It probably will. The worst thing that can happen would be the demise of Reddit. Currently, Reddit is a sort of honey pot which is stopping all the mainstream hordes from entering Hubski and bringing mainstream hivemind here. Digg used to be that filter to Reddit.
