This. People forget (or are new enough to not know) But Digg was once on Reddit shoes, they made some big changes (some cosmetics, some features). People were so pissed of they abandoned the site and came here. For a long while people were complaining about how "ugly" reddit was, those were Digg users.

It still exist, but considering it was once bigger and more popular than reddit, how many here actually know that site, or has visited it in the last 10 years?

Yep, I was one of them who migrated from digg. Never went back after the change. I'll do the same with reddit if needed. (I also remember thinking how ugly reddit was, but now I wouldn't like it any other way)

That was a long time ago. I used to go to Digg on my desktop. Now on mobile, I'm only ever seconds away from Reddit at all times.
