Being a person who only still follows a few select subreddits, I don't understand why is Reddit getting so much attention, especially on Hubski. Can someone explain it to me? If Reddit is seen as such an irreversably-deep mess (unless policies change drastically and very quickly), why not abandon it for something better, whatever it might be to a person leaving? Why keeping chewing the ordeal, especially when you've found a haven for yourself?
I agree. I find it pretty irrelevant now I've landed here :) PHEW
It's still a significant site, though. It has a huge number of users, many of whom belong to the coveted millennial generation. I'd say that for that reason alone, it is worth observing what happens to it. The free-speech debate also feels important right now. Maybe that's just because I'm in France, which is still trying to process the Charlie Hebdo attack.
Most of the garbage piles are of the same qualities. Clearly, Reddit must have other reasons to be observed to justify such an amount of attention. Besides. Wasn't it you who posted the link? How would you justify finding Reddit "pretty irrelevant" at the same time to an outside observer? Not that you have to, of course.It's still a significant site, though.

You're right, that was confusing! Thanks for asking for clarification - it helps me put my thoughts in order. What I wanted to articulate with this post was the following: Despite finding Reddit not meaningful to me personally, I believe that it is influential on society as a whole - and, because of that, it is worth keeping abreast of developments there.
Or something along those lines... does that make more sense, maybe?
Some people like to talk shit about their ex-wife, even years later. Some people are still on good terms with their ex-wife, even years later. Though you wouldn't hear much from the second group about, because they're not vocal about the issue. Reddit is the same for Hubski. Some people here are glad to be rid of it, some people could care less, and some people (myself including) even still use it from time to time.
Much as I am still clearly interested in Hubski, I haven't found a haven for myself. I liked the constant feed of new and interesting content I could create by following interesting subs at Reddit. Here, I post three things in a row to try and get the ol' content ball rolling and someone PMs me to STFU. And heaven forbid you post a light joke about Donald Trump. I do love the self-moderation here. I decide who I don't want to listen to? That's genius. But I'm still looking for a faster stream of interesting content without having to explain why "I'm triggered!" isn't a funny joke. Over and over and over and...

How about posting my (and Alan, the guinea pig's) homage to him?
Alan makes a significantly more convincing hairpiece than whatever Trump is currently wearing. Maybe you could rent him out for a small fee? How well versed is Alan in politics? If he knows a thing or two, maybe you can tout the additional benefit of him not only being a decent wig, but as a cunning political adviser as well.
