Even places such as Slashdot are hard to get submissions accepted but I'd say that's due more to the sheer volume of submissions, not as much in past years but I'm sure Slashdot has a large user-base they've got at least a good eight years experience over Digg and Reddit. I mean even Anonymous users can submit at Slashdot. I'd say it's more than having your funny cat picture or that article everyone has seen 20 times posted because it's new to you it's the fact you can submit your post and let the community decide what to do instead of having everything outright rejected instantly - it makes for hard feelings and no sense of community. Believe it or not I think Digg is actually getting better community-wise, it seems the rats have left the sinking ship. edit: I certainly don't mean Kevin!
