This 100%

    Hubski is better, it is more about content and long articles and actual discussions instead of in-jokes and memes.

Plus the rampant misogyny, racism, bigotry, et al.

I was literally subscribed to a bunch of subreddits, most with >10k subscribers... and still the community interaction just isn't there, reddit seems more geared towards collecting karma points.

But I love the group feel here and what's amazing is it doesn't seem to lose it's individuality in the process. I feel like I can still observe and interact with the uniqueness of each user on Hubski, as well as seeing large interactions in Global threads.

I think on the tutorial it says Hubski is like a "Party" and I can see now how that description holds true.

I'm so happy to be here haha ♥︎Hubski

Wait, so you're saying I can be both not a bigot AND not a "tumblrite sjw?"

I don't think I believe you.

I didn't either and then I decided to stick around. Here I am ~80 something days later. It seems like that's all you get called on Reddit for having your own opinion. Have you ever noticed that?

I don't understand :(

I'm so happy I found hubski, it's the best website ever. I really hope it doesn't become like reddit but stays the way it is.

Well I tried to convert a friend of mine who's always bringing discussion worthy topics to our conversations on Reddit, and he said that this (hubski) looks like Reddit for pretentious people. Which is kind of amusing because he fits the category that insomniasexx called "fuckwits". (Sorry if this was kind of unrelated).

I don't get why they see hubski as pretentious, it's different and it focuses more on discussion but it's not as if funny content isn't allowed or that all content must be highbrow.

havires  ·  3791 days ago  ·  link  ·  

It was somebody from www.reddit.com/r/makenewfriendshere - well one of their ops. I linked him to the Reddit Implosion thread and that's what he said in return. Which is quite stupid. Again it's like KB said "the lack of easily digestible content is a turn off for 90% of the people that come here from reddit."

swedishbadgergirl  ·  3791 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I don't really use it, but I've had a profile.

havires  ·  3791 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Ah well I'm still trying to bring more people in, aside from that one fuckwit who I just mentioned.

swedishbadgergirl  ·  3791 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Good luck! I hope you succeed in making non-fuckwits join hubski.

havires  ·  3791 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Hahaha me too. How's it going? You trying to bring in any non-fuckwits?

swedishbadgergirl  ·  3791 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Not really, I have a friend in real life I think would like it, but I wont see her until school starts.

Ah yeah I'm trying to get my penpal to take a look at this, he might find something interesting and stick around. Just have to wait for him to answer my email.
