Yeah, just joined Hubski. Got tired of Reddit and it's not the place for me anymore. I prefer smaller communities and a larger focus on content and community. Been lurking Hubski for awhile.

Not to knock on you, but just as a more general point; I hope we start getting users from somewhere else than reddit. Sure, they might be a good userbase to find people from, but I'm sure there are insightful people all over the internet. Hubski being a reddit refugee camp is not exactly the ideal.

I totally agree, and realize it's silly considering to say since I'm new here. I know I just got here, and I was a Redditor, but I came here specifically to find a nice aggregation site... but without the over-populated feel to it that comes with any forum community that gets as big as Reddit. I notice there are obviously quite a few of them here, but this system seems to be a little better about being able to avoid people or ignore them completely if need be, which is nice. It's also not as dependent on up/downvotes, which is also nice, as I hope it will discourage people pandering for internet points.

You make a good point though. Reddit is just kind of the Facebook of aggregation sites right now. It's like Google+ users hoping they get some people that didn't come from Facebook. Sure it will happen, but my guess is it will be few and far between.

Whenever I'm on reddit and I get to the bottom of the comment page, I see the "see 500 more comments" or something like that, and it just seems so disingenuous to ignore so many opinions.
