Ummm, reddit was a blatant knockoff of DIGG, until they sold out and where is DIGG now?
On the rebound apparently lmao
Lmao their big new idea is incorporating AI based moderation.
"I know what will bring them back!"- The most clueless person in existence
Reddit seemed much more like a Hacker News/Slashdot interface in the early days. They were different from each other in 2005 but slowly started to coalesce into some common features that the other had first. Reddit had robust comments and threading (which I personally consider to be the defining feature), while digg version 2 had categories/tags. Reddit adopted subreddits and Digg adopted comments sometime in 2006 or so.
Digg was the site that originally popularized up-votes and down-votes that are so typical on online posts today. But, despite Digg's pioneering introduction of this feature to internet culture it was the very up-votes and down-votes that led to its downfall in the first place.
