On reddit it was really easy to make an alt account if you just wanted to be a jerk to people. No email required, no downtime, just a random name and go.
But a smaller community is better even disregarding that barrier to entry. People from reddit are used to every little post getting 100 responses and that just isn't going to happen. And I hope circlejerks and pun threads aren't going to happen either (sorry if you like those, but they were frustrating when they happened in every top post).
The number of answers was actually a major downside of reddit... Unless you browsed /r/new or /r/top, your comments were almost guaranteed to get ignored. And if you hung out in /r/new, you had to deal with the majority of your replies ending on posts that never got traction.
