In just five days on this site, I've taken part in discussions about philosophy, neuroscience, programming, interior design, psychology, socioeconomics, et al. My feed is filled with all sorts of nerdy, geeky things, quantum mechanics, anthropology, literature, physics, foreign languages, and the like. The comment threads I read are filled with actual English--rather than memes--, complex sentences, educated thoughts, paragraphs of useful, enlightening information. Language runs wild, creativity gallops about, neurons fire in epiphany-laden directions.
Reddit required anesthesia, dumbing down. Hubski is the opposite. Thank you for this.
This site has gotten me to be more proactive in my life in one week than Reddit did in my entire time there. I've started learning Python, I spend my evenings reading long-form discussions and papers on subjects, and I'm getting into watching documentaries, television shows, and anime.
I'm just enjoying my time on this site more. It's awesome.
