And you can really see that attitude in the culture on this site too. Being called a redditor isn't a compliment, for example. I've had people attack me for linking to an appropriate meme that described my feelings on the matter as well. Basically, anything that was previously considered to be a part of the aforementioned 'reddit dumbing down' is really frowned upon in the hubski culture.

Oooooooooooor it could be the fact that Hubski is built upon having conversations. With people. We're all people here and sending a meme is a quick, no effort way of describing...anything. It's not conductive to discussion, and it's not conductive to the branding of Hubski as "a thoughtful web". So, yes, you're right and that's because the intent of the site is to be a place to avoid dumbed down discussion.

And the worst part is that the discussion is better on reddit anyway, but I'm sure that's just opinion as well.

The entire time you've been on this site you've been saying that Reddit is better, or that you don't like x, y, and z about Hubski, or that you're leaving, etc. Seriously, if you like Reddit so much better and you're being attacked so often here, why don't you just actually leave? On that hand though, we could take a look at your interactions with other people on this site and see that almost none of them have been positive. Anyway, I've tried to avoid responding to you in any manner but I seem to have failed after reading yet another fistful of paragraphs about your disdain for this place. At least other people were offering suggestions (as of me typing this).
