Digg started out for me (a long time ago) as a place where I could "discover" the "stuff" that interested me with a minimum amount of noise from the stuff that didn't. Eventually though, it became broader in it's appeal and my own private little corner of discovery became infested with memes, lolcats and motivational lolsters. I was tiring of Digg by this point and the redesign simply made it easy for me to jump ship. Then I found Hacker News and I couldn't be fucking happier. Void filled. Digg isn't losing to Reddit, the market for that kind of site is shattering into millions of tiny little peices. Hacker News is one of those tiny little pieces. Stack Overflow is another.
