Not only does it assume personhood, the community feels quite open and friendly. If it were a person, Hubski feels like the non-judgemental friend who is willing to help whenever you want, or just to talk to when bored. In contrast, Reddit seems like a friend in the schoolyard who tries hanging out with the cool kids, with whom you can be slightly open, but are subconsciously seeking approval from them. If I had a problem, I'd much sooner go to Hubski.

There you have it, another slogan/metaphor for hubski to add to the other Hubski slogans. I think the team would be interested in your comment. I wonder if it was along the lines of what the founders were imagining. Do you like the schoolyard metaphor mk thenewgreen b_b?

who might occasionally bully you. Of course, we have our occasional bullies too, but we ignore them.
I like it. I've used the school cafeteria lunch room metaphor before. You remember there was the "jock" table, the "nerds" the "goths" the "preps" etc. Hubski is the lunch table that all of them sit at and don't much care about which table they were previously sitting at, just so long as they're interesting. I don't know.. I guess I had a pretty segregated cafeteria as a kid :-) but I always liked to visit many different tables. Hubski lets me do this.
We have bullies? I've never seen a bully on Hubski. Do they get banned, or are they just that rare?
