I also migrated from Digg to Reddit, but Digg had really messed up by then. I don't know if I'm going to "migrate" from Reddit to Hubski, or just follow both for a while. I don't think Reddit is entirely messed up yet, and each site seems to have a different purpose. Reddit is big so it has a lot of content, but the discussion is becoming like an echo chamber except in smaller subreddits. Hubski doesn't seem to have a lot of content, but the discussion looks a lot more enriching. So it's breadth vs. depth.
I don't think it needs to be a "one or the other" type of thing either. I always say that I don't eat at just one restaurant and I don't go to just one bar/pub... why would I visit just one aggregator? I hope you enjoy your time here and there. Cheers!
I'll stick to hubski, but not because of some misplaced sense of loyalty. I waste enough time online as it is without having both reddit and hubski.
swedishbadgergirl I agree completely with you on this ^ very post. In fact I don't think I could have said it better.
I found out about hubski when there was the whole thing with the /r/technology sub controversy. I will be honest I haven't been back here much but obviously did make an account. With the new controversy on the up/downvotes system, I am feeling like reddit is making it's way to a /r/hailcorporate level and that saddens me. The admins are usually very responsive, but on this issue they have just been defensive. I think I might be migrating over here.
I don't know when you migrated, but Reddit was relatively small back then, it was so small that nobody cared to censor it or target it. Then a very quality content based userbase started to grow up, and as I said before, reddit's frontpage today would be digg's frontpage tomorrow, and because it was so obscure (first time I was in reddit it felt like an old bbs, didn't know what to do half of the time, and the discussion was nothing compared to what it is now, it was more like a thread of r/askhistorians, you wouldn't want to mess it in there if you didn't have you facts straight. But as you said, for the time being, one compliments the other. If hubski gains traction, I expect several exodus as Reddit gets too big and the admins keep screwing with the userbase.
