I am curious how everyone found this site. It does not even have a Wikipedia page. In this day and age, that is fairly close to not existing.
And yet, after I browsed for a bit when I arrived here it seems active and used by an abnormally high percentage of not-assholes.
So, how did you find Hubski and why do you stay?
It's mostly through word of mouth, though I found it in one of those "ABANDON REDDIT" threads from...longer than a year ago, now. 'Cause it's the best place on the internet. Stick around, it's fun. E: Dunno if I'd call it "social media", though. You can be whoever you want to here, though if you stick around long enough you pretty much revert to who you normally are. Honest place = honest people, imo. EE: Also I see you started a Tumblr account the same day! I'll follow you, even though I never use mine.Why do you stay
Some thread on r/theoryofreddit a couple of years ago is what led me here. I've stayed because I like the people a lot and have learned a lot from the conversations that happen here. The longer you stay the bigger the reward.
Fucking Gaia Online is on there and we're not? I still get Gaia Online emails on my junk email account. It's over, you guys! It's done! I turned 13 and realized I was too grown up for Gaia Online. Let my green haired kid with demon wings and a halo on his head die in peace. PLEASE.
Reddit isn't on there either We're not just any old forum softwareor worse: perhaps as humanodon once called the hubwheel: we are nothing more than a bumpy nipple.

Also, fwiw, this question was posed a while back by another, awesome hubski user: https://hubski.com/pub?id=147888
mk told me about this thing he was creating that didn't have down votes. It was, and remains the only aggregator I have ever been an active participant in. No Wikipedia page? Someone should create one. Our Purpose Page should have all the info needed. But, as always we will leave such things up to you all.
I've heard such crazy things about Wikipedia and editors and all that jazz. I had to create an account thing to try to make a page for my old company. Even though I was objective as possible and used a ton of citations, it was still removed without explanation less than 5 minutes later. Love Wikipedia. Fuck trying to add something to Wikipedia. If anyone here has any reputation on Wikipedia it would be amazing if we could have a page. thenewgreen and I would be more than happy to write it up and grab all the links we have from external news sites, etc. Elsewhere in this thread someone mentioned a Wikipedia list of Internet forums - getting on that list would be sweet too!
It would be sort of nice in a way to have one to help clarify what Hubski is and maybe more importantly, what it is not. Also, in a "hey mom and dad, you know that thing I've been working on for the last 4 years, well it's now a sanctioned thing." It's amazing how people don't think something exists unless Wikipedia thinks it exists. I am not an editor though, but if anyone else is and has an inkling to do this, they have my blessing and I'd be glad to supply any answers to questions or links to articles etc.
Hey, thanks pal. That looks pretty straight forward to me someone that is in the know with regards to wikipedia, please validate the post. Thanks
I found Hubski through some topic on Reddit and I have stayed because of the interesting articles that are posted on here and the decent community as well.
It might have been this :
Wow, those were the days! If we had 10 comments in a day, it was a day worth celebrating.
Let's just say we get more comments now in a 10 to 20 minute time span and we did back then in an entire day
That is kind of amazing. I still view hubski as tiny. I was on a Swedish website based around taking care of virtual pets around then. I'm pretty sure that that had a more active forum than that.
I stay because of the community and the quality of discourse.
Reddit was getting boring. I couldn't find any thought provoking articles much less thought provoking responses to the articles. One of the few subreddits that try to maintain something even remotely close to thought provoking, /r/TrueReddit, had an article about Hubski. I don't remember much of it, but it was something that went along the lines of calling Hubski the next reddit. Been here a while, and the community is great! Lots of little interesting things to go through.
After coming here from Reddit I really, Really hope hubski isn't the new Reddit.
I doubt it. Even though (at least to my knowledge) there is no clearly written set of rules on what content should be posted or how we should comment on items, I think the community by and large support the status quo as a viable alternative to news and information. I also think the Hubski community will enforce a regimen of quality among users' comments and postings.
I found it searching for almost the same term : ). Only I used DuckDuckGo instead of Google.
