...because the functionality everyone wants is on Reddit but the functionality everyone decries is everywhere else. You don't provide an example in the negative to prove a positive point: "Why can't I have flan at this Chinese restaurant?" "Because it's not a Mexican restaurant, it's a Chinese restaurant. That's why there are chopsticks at your plate." "But we're at PF Chang's, not Pick Up Sticks! Chopsticks anger me! Where's my flan?" If Person C wants Person B's opinion on something, he should probably shout Person B out, rather than waiting for the stars to align.
And that's the problem. Everyone here is constantly making this an us vs. them, a mute vs unmute. There are multiple opinions here it's not two sided. I hate reddit, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Hubski is the closest I have found to something tolerable, and it's not that far away from it which is why I'm trying to defend some basic ideas. This is completely asinine. This is a user submitted social link posting and discussion site, so is reddit, so is Facebook. Twitter is not, it's completely different due to text restrictions and such. Yes this site has a lot in common with it due to tags and user following, but I would say del.icio.us is even closer, just add commenting to it. If we were comparing say Slashdot to Hubski, that would be a good instance of you saying we are comparing apples to oranges, but people aren't....because the functionality everyone wants is on Reddit
