digg.com is perm-banned on HN, maybe because HN didn't want to become (the old) digg? EDIT: To clarify, HN didn't want to become the old digg just like HN does

digg.com is perm-banned on HN, maybe because HN didn't want to become (the old) digg? EDIT: To clarify, HN didn't want to become the old digg just like HN doesn't want to become reddit. The old digg community was... Less than stellar.

I never used the old Digg, did it have a similar look and feel?

  No. It only had one main column, like say a blog, or like Reddit, but I think it also had descriptions, not just headlines on the main page. I think this one looks a lot better. But I hate that they force you to use FB login.

Why? Blocking competition?

  HNers likes to believe they're superior, just like redditors before them and diggers before that and etc.
