Reddit was already superior to Digg as a news aggregator. Before the exodus, the joke (and I had observed this to often be true) was that Digg’s content was mostly the same as reddit’s... just posted a day later.
At present there isn’t an obvious choice for where to migrate. Maybe more specialized boards like Hacker News will be the thriving suburbs outside of a dystopian reddit metropolis.

- TeeMassive 6y agoParler is becoming more popular, but it's mostly only conservative stuff and frankly their UI is non-intuitive.
- tenuousemphasis 6y agoThe problem with reactionary, "free speech" platforms is that they're always filled with the worst of the worst from other platforms.

- SauciestGNU 6y agoWhile I long for a Reddit replacement, parler doesn't seem like it. I've seen numerous anecdotes of parler banning people for posting milquetoast non-conservative content.
