I used to lurk on reddit, hardly ever posting anything. The unlikeliness of my comment even being seen, the likelihood of being downvoted for no reason other than disagreement, and the fact that no one knew or cared who I was were all reasons to just not bother. I'm finding it easier to post here on Snapzu because of the smaller user base, the civility of a culture that promotes intellectual discussion, and the fact that my profile gives me an identity (albeit an anonymous one). I think others probably share my sentiments.

The lack of discussion is definitely just a lack of users. I've already seen an increase in activity in the short while I've been here, so things are looking up! It's down to users like you and myself to keep things moving.

I strongly agree that Snapzu is not reddit. I think a lot of us are used to whatever community we came from, and it's hard to imagine anything else, but Snapzu is Snapzu — the beautiful thing is that us users can make it what we want :)
