Oh!! That's not when I migrated but I just remembered when I did migrate. It was something to do with Saydrah? I vaguely remember she got a lot of flak from redditors for something or other, I wasn't interested in the "scandal" at all (can't even remember what it was) but someone mentioned Hubski and I ended up liking it soooo... I find it funny how sometimes switching social media is less driven by anger or dissatisfaction and more by just seeing another place and preferring it... I think that's how it should be.
This is similar to how I came here. I was in the Victoria migration, but I didn't know her or even know she existed. The furor helped me see how dissatisfied I was with Reddit, and jokes about "Reddit alternative" surging on Google made me search the same, and I landed here. Just having no downvote option made me like Hubski more, and I'm really happy with the interface and discussions here. I only maintain a throwaway account on Reddit. I don't contribute, but I poke around a bit. Reddit feels like MySpace did in 2008. Everyone is there, and it's kind of garbage because of it. Hubski, then, is Facebook in 2008. A user base that isn't out of control, and a good interface.
What's an SEO? Google just returns "search engine optimization" for me. When Reddit gets on a roll, it's pretty horrible and sexist. I liken it to 4chan but with user names and some minimal moderation.
