I saw a few posts after the reddit influx. The thing about some people from reddit is that they try to turn other sites into reddit. That's not what we need. Hubski is different and for only being here for ~2 days, I already love it. I agree with your answer
I came here from Voat. It is not a direct clone. Voat offers considerable improvement over Reddit. For example you have only 10 upvotes/day until you collect 20 upvotes from your posts. You also need 100 upvotes to be able to downvote anything. After your first 100 karma the restrictions are relaxed but there are still upper limits. This forces users to be better behaved and almost eliminates vote brigading and spam. It is an improvement but definitely nowhere near the sophistication of Hubski. For example they still need moderators which always skews the discussion and creates undue workload.
