Group Hug is run by one person, and that’s me. There are hundreds of thousands of confessions on the site, and the total number of submissions is probably nearing a million. The confessions are moderated by you, the readers. When you “Hug” a confession, it’s essentially a vote to keep it on the site. When you “Flag” a confession (it used to be called “Shrug”, but some of you found that unfriendly), it’s a vote to remove the confession. Now you know. Group Hug!
