as i recall...

digg was awesome.

basically got overwhelmed with 9/11 truth posts

digg started banning 9/11 truth posters, and boosting completely useless content.

about that time, reddit/r/politics started catching the 9/11 truth movement that was spilling over / migrating from digg.

digg got super lame, and /r/politics became the 9/11 truth hotspot.

conde naste bought reddit.

reddit started pulling a "digg" - banning 9/11 truth posters and pushing 9/11 content to a new subreddit called "r/conspiracy".

r/conspiracy became the de-facto 9/11 truth forum, now nicely mixed-in with the the flat-earthers...#missionaccomplished
