What do you guess? Can we use hubski as an alternative to reddit in a near future (or now)? As you know, reddit's policy made it difficult to use it. Can we switch to hubski now?
The majority of reddit users aren't into intelligent discussions. Everyone tries to deny it, but its true. I will always go on reddit for images and videos. I don't think Hubski will overtake Reddit in this sense, but I do think that Hubski will have a stronger community and more than reddit discussion wise. There is enough room for two, and I personally see them excisting well together.
As of this week, I've started to browse hubski equally as much as reddit. I think they can exist together without stealing each other's user base (like reddit and digg). I don't think it would be a good thing for the majority of reddit's user base to start going on hubski, as you said.
Which is the entirety of hubski.The majority of reddit users aren't into intelligent discussions.
I know this is an old thread, but I just got a site wide shadow ban on reddit from an asshole so Im here now. The thing I already dont like about hubski is the social network aspect of it. You share posts with people following you. I see this going straight down the path to power users that digg went down and we all know what that leads to. If im misunderstanding something please let me know.
Hey fr3nch, first of all welcome to Hubski. Secondly, we aren't interested in being "the next reddit." Hubski is a community that has been described as a third place. People get to know one another here. It's not about a "competition" or who has the most followers etc. We don't care. We care about having quality conversations. It's a culture shock for a lot of people at first. Give it time. Before you start worrying about what Hubski might or might not become, hang-out for a while, kick the tires and get to know what Hubski is. You joined twenty minutes ago. If you have any further questions, feel free to PM me by clicking on my username and "send me mail". Enjoy.
Glad to hear it fr3nch. Again, let me know if you have any questions. A few weeks ago I made this post to point out some lessor known aspects of Hubski. Hopefully it will help you along.
An advantage Reddit has right now is the sheer number of users. While some may see this as a detriment (and it certainly can be at times), it also increases the amount of different experts that can weigh in on a subject. Have a question about physics? You can ask a physicist on Reddit. Want to self publish a book? There are people on Reddit who have done it before. This is what hubski is lacking right now. We can surely generate good discussion, but some things are better posted to reddit as you may get better responses.
What Reddit "policy" are you talking about? I see you are still working on your English from your past submissions, so I don't mean to be rude, but I don't understand what policy you're referring to. If you're leaving Reddit because of, say, a policy against behavior that is also not wanted on Hubski, then Hubski is a bad alternative. But if you mean Reddit's overall failure to manage their community in a way that would retain more than just the lowest common denominator, then yes, Hubski is an alternative.
Adding link to reddit is problematic. for example, base on their policy, adding two or more pages of the same site is banned automatically. Or even when we observe subredditors policy, most of the times, they reject the link or they completely don't come back to review the subreddit they already created.
