I literally just made an account and saw this, and you know what my reaction is? I see you becoming a power user on yet another website, claiming to be all important, when I haven't even SEEN your posting history. I don't CARE WHO YOU ARE KLEINBL00.

Shit like this is why I'm starting to hate reddit. Posters like you and karmanaut. It's why I decided to try this place out.

I may have to agree with you here. So far this place is an incredibly calm and interesting place to browse, but his most recent submissions appear to be entitled rants demanding that people respect him and do as he pleases or he'll stop posting. I hope that's the limit and that this power user culture does not grow as it has on Reddit.

This is a pretty cool site. I hope you'll give it more of a chance. In the 7 or so months I've been on here, this is the first time I've seen this type of thing.

I too am a reddit refugee as many of the community are. Please do not let this single thread give you alarm and not participate in the community. This thread is the exception and not the rule. If you decide to stay on and participate, I think that you will find Hubski to be a great platform to discover news and ideas and an amazing way to participate in serious and often thought provoking discussions with a great and diverse group of individuals. Every now and then, there might even be something that will make you chuckle a bit http://hubski.com/pub?id=18863

I still have no idea how to work this place, or check for comment replies. Hopefully I'll figure it out.

I am sure you will.

1. Check out http://hubski.com/topsubs , http://hubski.com/topcoms , and http://hubski.com/badgesubs to see some of the more popular posts and comments.

2. From there, you should be able to quickly find hubs that will be of interest to you.

3. Engage in discussions, share content and your thoughts

4. Profit...... intellectually.

Well, if you're ever able to see this comment: your hubwheel (next to your username in the top right) turns from white to orange when you have new comment replies. And I'm not sure if this is still the case, but when I signed up, email alerts were on by default.

Same here.

Don't worry, what this boils down to is that it's someone that takes a social news website way too seriously. He's angry because people don't give him the respect he deserves, dammit! Didn't you know he's the number two commenter here?

I've hated reddit for a while now, but I keep going back to a few of the smaller subs that I really enjoy. There's rarely any good content in the default subs, and if there is, the comments are generally worthless. So now I'm here in the hopes that I can find decent discussion and entertaining, thought provoking content, and the first thing I see is this whiny little baby crying about imaginary internet points and getting upset because a stranger on the nets had the audacity to say something he didn't like. At the top of the page. Kind of a bad sign, but it's not going to push me away immediately.
