Why I’m leaving Digg & focusing primarily on Reddit.
I saw this story on Digg today. This guy was declaring his independence from Digg and moving to Reddit. He pointed out that Digg no longer has quality and power users can get their stories on the front page no problem, but newer users (like me) have a tougher time. He also complained about all the blogspam. Commenters seemed to agree with him while others decided to flame him and said that Reddit was worse. One commenter noted that Digg was censoring an article about the U.S. Constitution by not putting it on the front page even though it had 1200+ diggs. All of this talk has caused to begin exploring Reddit. I created an account on Reddit a few months back but I found Reddit lacking both style and features. I’ve come back and found that I like it a little more, but the content appears to be the same as Digg. I’ll have to create a seperate post about my thoughts on Reddit. But what do you think? Is it Digg, Reddit, or another social news website? Leave your answer in the comments.
