I found Digg first. Then I found Reddit. I didn’t like reddit at first because it didn’t look as good as digg, so I went back to Digg for couple of years. But now I have moved to Reddit.

But why? Content on Digg wasn’t the best that I would expect. Lots of duplicated links and power users ruining the system, etc, etc. Digg tries also to make money more aggressively. There is only couple of ads on Reddit and half of them are there just to thank that I have adblock disabled I can’t even use Digg without adblocker. It is so bloated with many ads.

I also feel that Reddit has better content for me, partly because I can customize my Reddit feed with “subreddits”. Anybody can create their own subreddit for anything/anybody.

Reddit also has better app for iPod/iPhone “Blue alien” app works without any problems, but the Digg application is unstable and slow.

The new Digg beta is heading to interesting direction. Concept is really good, but so far it haven’t been so great for me. I don’t have friends/followers on Digg so my feed is little quiet…

For me, Reddit feels more open way to share stuff on internet. It feels more like a forum than a link sharing site…

And reddit is open source <3

I got banned on digg because I used script called “digg friends easier“. It is not a automatic “robot” script that diggs automatically. It just makes easier to digg friends stories. I don’t think that it is big problem.

After reading couple of other stories about diggs banns. I realized that digg is trying to stop top users to dominate the front page. The main way to use your “popularity” to gain diggs is tp shout/share stories with friends. It looks like digg admins don’t want that peoples uses shout system.

But why they don’t want that I share stories with my friends! Is it against the rules? If they don’t want that people share stories, then remove the shout system. Without shout system digg would be better place for everyone.

Then, why they can’t send a warning first that someone is doing something that they don’t like? Example, if I get a warning. I would remove every script and disable shouting, but no, they can’t warn me.

Biggest issue is that I dont have any site where I can go. Digg is simple the best. I used digg every day, it was always open on my another computer, I always checked what cool was submitted. I loved digg, I still love it, but I cant use it anymore.

Tips for users that haven’t yet got banned: Disable shout system, remove every single scripts that affects way of digg works. (maybe even adblock) Keep your recent diggs low. Do not shout or digg shouts you receive. Do not share stories with your friends.
