Ive seen this same additude expressed by plenty of people on hubski and I find it really disappointing. I would rather see the good parts of reddit translate over rather than exclude useful features in the name of pride.
And therein lies the (perceived) problem: not that you want good parts of reddit to be implemented here, but that you say that they should translate over. hubski has become a replacement reddit for a good many people since the TheoryOfReddit post it would seem, including myself. However, it is not a copy, nor is it intended to function purely as such a replacement. Translate over implies that replacing reddit is hubski's only function, when it clearly is more than that. Basically, I think that sometimes people overreact, but I can easily see where they're coming from, and it's not an unreasonable place.
A good idea is a good idea and if we feel it serves the vision for Hubski, then it will be seriously considered and likely implemented no matter where it was sourced from. I think once you are here for a bit you will see that we are very open to suggestions and glad to receive them. I do think insomniasexx makes a good point though, test drive the site for a bit and see what you think. Thanks for your feedback
Yes. Thanks tng. It's early so I apologize if it comes off as harsh or unfriendly or unwelcoming. That wasn't my intention. I hope you all stick around and see the major advantages of the system that is in place. If you are curious, go back through all the bugski tags and see the discussions and suggestions that have come and gone and been implemented. It really is remarkable how many changes and discussions have happened.
