I feel the same way. I go to reddit for my more specific/niche discussions (such as coin collecting, metal detecting, and so on) as well as the fact that it's fun to watch the gears of reddit's admin/mod/etc situation turn, especially lately.

I haven't really been checking out Hubski as much as I hoped to. I do enjoy the... longer duration of Hubski stuff, I suppose. There's a heck of a lot of discussion worth reading here, and I've only really checked it on occasion to read my feed/global feed; I haven't quite dug down very deep yet but I already like it.

And I don't have much of an opinion of Voat. It's got some interesting ideas as far as voting, but I haven't really been much into the topics that are more typical of that. Tons of it's about reddit (which I already see/read discussions about anyways on reddit itself), and the rest of it feels like a smaller reddit that's pretending to be more established than it really is, or something. That might not quite be the correct way to explain how I see it, but it's something along those lines. I know one of my earliest impressions of it was "reddit for people who aren't allowed in reddit". I know that's not really true, but the amount of reddit hate I saw made me feel that way.

And now yesterday I hear about commentum and snapzu, but again I have pretty much no opinion of them, other than that commentum left a good first impression and snapzu left a worse one.
