Also new to Hubski, as of right now. And I found out about it on Reddit.

You guys should probably be ready for an influx of visitors. At least the first waves should be well behaved. Maybe.

Link?

We had a big wave in December from a top reddit post. It was a bit messy in the comments for a couple days but nothing too bad. The ones who weren't looking for this type of site got bored left fairly quickly. The nice thing about following users is you don't have the follow people who are positing pointless material. :D

Welcome to Hubski!

If you have any questions you can shoutout me (just wrap insomniasexx in @ signs) and I'll do my best to help you or direct you to the person who knows the answer. There are a ton of little cool features and pages on hubski, so go explore. For example, the TMI page is fun as well as the badges page. I hope you enjoy.

Can't retrace to where I found the link, but it was a thread talking about alternatives to an obviously compromised Reddit regarding censorship, votegaming, ect.

I did notice you guys don't have a #conspiracy tag? Is there a reason for that?

Tags are chosen by the users who make the post. People in the community can also add a tag to a post. You can read about the community tag feature here: http://hubski.com/pub?id=42878

If there isn't a tag, it's because we haven't had any users use the tag yet. I'm guessing posts that fall under conspiracy are being tagged privacy or politics or economics or whatever.

Go ahead and start making posts with that tag and get it going! I'll follow it.

As far as I know, Hubski doesn't have some big conspiracy against conspiracy....

Oh no, not my implication! Just checking. I'll be sure to start using that tag judiciously then. Thanks for the info!

You're welcome. I look forward to reading some new material re: conspiracies. I never subscribed to /r/conspiracy but perhaps you can change my ways.

I am more of a learner than an educator. In that regard, I hope to stick to what is relevant, and avoid the pitfalls of the money circuit, and the other popular red herrings. I have no intention of flooding people with total nonsense, I am intrigued that this community seems to be more conversation based.

I'm hoping that will translate with some of the ideas about our reality that are less moored in the zeitgeist than what the MSM has on offer.
