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.
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."
I don't really use it, but I've had a profile.
Good luck! I hope you succeed in making non-fuckwits join hubski.
Not really, I have a friend in real life I think would like it, but I wont see her until school starts.
