Airsoc.com Only uses mongodb, people can post stories, or articles, we show author and feed source information on the page, but there are no joins. I have never found the need to use joins anywhere. Carefull schema design makes them unnessecary.

The irony of course is that you end up implementing careful schema design so that you can use a schemaless database.

You're confusing schema not being enforced for schema not being present. Any non-trivial app would require you to define a schema for your models, irrespective of whether you're using a relational database like Postgres or a document store like Mongo.
