On this site, rube generally means 'red cube', and I had to look up the word to figure out what you meant here. Though this still makes a bit of sense--you can't signal to red cubes either.
To those wondering, the first definition for rube I found was "an unsophisticated person from a rural area; a hick."
I thought the same thing, but I guessed it was too silly for me to write it in a comment. Judging from the karma score of the parent, it seems like I was wrong!
