Don't know the numbers, but Reddit always sported a more "in" crowd, who looked down on the Digg unwashed.
- zem 9y agoas an early reddit user, i saw it as "slashdot, but with a better comment engine". digg had more of the feel of a generic news aggregator, not really focused on the slashdot crowd at all; i checked it out briefly but was never really engaged by it.
- janfoeh 9y agoslashdot, but with a better comment engine ... but worse moderation. While rose-tinted glasses may be involved and /. never was Metafilter, if I had to design a community policing system today, Slashdot would be where I would start. Hot grids and all.
- stevekemp 9y agoPresumably you meant "Hot grits"? Those and other things, like Natalie Portman, really take me back.
