I actually came here from Hacker News rather than Reddit, for similar reasons. I wasn't banned, but HN does arbitrarily ban people. I left because the culture there is asinine, and unapologetically corporate (they ban people for saying things against YC-funded companies). I really like that Hubski doesn't have downvotes. I feel like a lack of downvotes makes the community much more amiable, and disincentivises trolls. I've largely replaced HN with Lobste.rs and Hubski. Lobsters has more tech news; Hubski has more general news, and an incredible, intelligent community. Seriously, I've never been a part of a community as educated, rational, intelligent, curious, and generally not mean-spirited. You guys are awesome.
