How did Digg fall, exactly? I went from Fark to Reddit - skipping Digg. I remember the Digg migration and everyone being mad at MrBabyHands or something like that. Something about power users, but I don't know enough about Digg to understand the drama.
they couldn't control the narrative by just the articles they posted because of the comment, so they banned commenting. not just for unverified, but just in general.

Ever since stumbl disbanded and switched to mixx it was shit. Reddit I had hope. Then lib mods everywhere
