I don't know. I am also a daily hubskier. I'm sure it is different when you have more distance. eightbitsamurai called this place a social network earlier today. I had never considered it as such. For me one of the key differences from reddit that I noticed here from the start was the fact that usernames
Matter, that I actually did have to notice them because without realizing it I was building relationships with these people with each post. Reddit was always so big names never mattered. Here it became evident they really did because you were interacting with the same six people In every discussion. So I have a bias towards saying it is a user flaw over a site flaw due to my experience and take on the site. Your mileage is not my
Mileage and that's okay.
To provide some clarification, I was more referring to the fact that Hubski is more like a bar then Facebook is. People move in and out, but there's a sense of unity throughout the website. Facebook is more like a...well I dunno what it is anymore, but I know the bar metaphor was not apt.
