Exactly, everyone is posting Voat as an alternative, we could use a little advertising just to get the site activity up, any asshats will quickly be put on ignore.

I think it's getting the right amount of attention.

If there was a huge influx of people at once, the core of the community would just get overshadowed by the ideology of the new people. It's possible to ignore those people, but at a certain point, it would just be too much effort to do so.

However, it's still getting enough attention for at least a few people to have a go at it. Hell, it brought me here. Sure, a few bad apples will come here, but they'll quickly be shown that their behavior isn't acceptable here. Others might realize that Hubski isn't really the site that they want. However, some will come here and like it a lot better than Reddit.

It's a good amount of attention, and could benefit from maybe a little bit more exposure, but everything's healthier in moderation.

I agree, I was brought here too by Reddit :P

Just sad to see there isn't a huge amount of activity here but maybe that's because the posts are quality and it's not a bunch of shitposting and karma whores

It's a lot less content, but I've had more back-and-fourths with people today than I have in all my time in Reddit. It's nice actually having a conversation, rather than talking loudly in a room full of people shouting.
