I feel quite the opposite. This is an ideal opportunity for a fresh, unburdened and completely unbiased start!

I agree. A different username and the proverbial clean slate.

And the opportunity to grab the best names early.

Besides the points don't do anything. Well not much, seeing as you need 100 points to unlock downvoting.

(people complain about it, but it will take less than a month for 99% of people to accumulate 100 points, and it will only get easier as the site grows, ensuring anyone who actually has any investment will be able to downvote.)

Anyhow, Reddit has gone long enough unchallenged, and has become dulled. We don't even need to surpass reddit, just be active enough to keep them on their toes and improving. As long as they realise they arn't the only game in town, they can't pull stuff like they have been over the last two weeks.

I'm mostly okay with the 100 karma to downvote thing. It's more than I had with Reddit after years on the site. But, if I want to downvote here I have to participate. That works for me.

Competition is always a good thing. Even if they don't look at it as competition, choice is a good thing.

I am very appreciative that this place exists.
