kuro5hin definitely shared the voting element, but other than that it was pretty different than the reddit or digg. It was more like a social blog, you didn't post links, you actually posted full essays and people voted and commented on them.

  I really didn't pay a ton of attention to kuro5hin... but what I did read there wasn't what I would call right-wing. Essays like one that was abused to create the recent Wikipedia pedophile scandal were much closer to what I remember.

    Yeah, OK, that sounds about right.
