It's not actually different from reddit. It's the same website with different people but a slightly different polish.

Well, it's pretty polished for being in alpha testing. I know they didn't intend for this site to gain so much popularity, quite literally, overnight. It feels like Bender created his own Reddit - with RES features by default and a sweet dark theme.

That being said, I have no doubt the people behind the site have big plans. I'm sure they started with Reddit as a template, implemented a few things they thought were lacking, and are moving forward from there. I think the future of the site, assuming it sticks around, will slowly start to evolve into something more than just a clone.

That's what I was going to mention as well. It's not original at all. It's the same idea, only with a few interesting tweaks. Kudos on the tweaks, but they've basically said they've started a new car company by cloning an existing car and changing the hubcaps.

In fairness, that's kind of what most car companies are...

Also, see their about page for a usage of that exact metaphor:)
