- jug 9y agoAbsolutely not. Reddit existed and filled Digg's old shoes, so Reddit was chosen. But people didn't leave Digg because Reddit existed. The key problem with Digg was "Digg Version 4" which made their users much less influental in the dynamics of the website. http://reddithistory.wikia.com/wiki/Digg_exodus http://reddithistory.wikia.com/wiki/Digg_exodus One place that I have gone to instead of Reddit lately is Hacker News... I have started using Reddit more as only a source for current events because it's easier to sift through (with categorized subreddits and all) than a Twitter stream of breaking news. But for science and tech talk, this place seems to have a higher quality discussion in the majority of the cases.
