A place with a discernible distinct culture from other internet communities. Not just another extension of social networks where people compete to see who is the best norman and who has the best political ideas.
It's hard to convey it, but this site now is literally indistinguishable from tumblr or reddit. Anything posted here could have originated there or vice versa.
