I don't think you're treading new ground here. browsing old posts in /r/ideasfortheadmins or /r/theoryofreddit reveals the rising warning cry. Saying "it's broken" isn't nearly as useful as saying "it's broken BECAUSE" or "It's broken, HERE'S HOW TO FIX IT." You'll get there eventually.

I'm pretty sure Hubski is MK's response to "here's how to fix it." To no one's surprise, I don't fully agree with his solutions but they're a hell of a lot more proactive than my attempts (skype screaming matches with admins). Over my many years of thought on the subject I've come to an inescapable conclusion:

The format isn't broken, it's simply revealing its ultimate utility: fluid, anonymous discourse amongst the disinterested.

You may not care if you get downvoted, but everyone else does. You should care, by the way - downvotes are censorship. And while you can point out that /r/Games is not the same as /r/gaming, but everyone reaches it from their front page and even if they could, they aren't likely to compartmentalize their mind between /gaming and /games. And that's the real issue - there's nothing preventing anyone on Reddit from going anywhere else on Reddit and doing whatever they please and since the Reddit community is large and homogenous with only pockets of diversity, that diversity is routinely trampled.

The solution is tighter control of who is permitted what in which subreddit, which is something I and countless others have been raising with the admins since 2008. Since the Admins have zero interest in implementing anything of the sort, however, expect things to continue the way they are.
