This is similar to how I came here. I was in the Victoria migration, but I didn't know her or even know she existed. The furor helped me see how dissatisfied I was with Reddit, and jokes about "Reddit alternative" surging on Google made me search the same, and I landed here. Just having no downvote option made me like Hubski more, and I'm really happy with the interface and discussions here.

I only maintain a throwaway account on Reddit. I don't contribute, but I poke around a bit. Reddit feels like MySpace did in 2008. Everyone is there, and it's kind of garbage because of it. Hubski, then, is Facebook in 2008. A user base that isn't out of control, and a good interface.
