- Hayaemsay, on 07/13/2008, -21/+1157The difference between Digg and Reddit? About three days.
- inactive, on 07/13/2008, -22/+1008All of those first four Digg comments are buried now, by the way.
- inactive, on 07/13/2008, -97/+749/moves reddit feed a spot higher than digg feed
- holyskeleton, on 07/13/2008, -27/+437Reddit STILL looks like that?
- Phoros, on 07/13/2008, -96/+494maybe i should join reddit..
- NathanielJ, on 07/13/2008, -13/+323The hilarious thing about the Digg community is that those sympathetic comments originally got Dugg up. Then people posted some things saying he didn't deserve sympathy, and the original comments then got buried. Now anyone who posts something remotely sympathetic will get buried to all Hell and mocked.
Bandwagon digging/burying for the win, eh? - Fluvant, on 02/27/2009, -15/+266Well, in Digg people actually fear getting their comments buried, while at Reddit you just get a down arrow.
- NathanielJ, on 07/13/2008, -6/+230"I've entirely stopped leaving comments at Digg, making an exception here..."
Clearly, since you only made 3 comments earlier today, 4 comments yesterday, and 12 comments the day before. - kevinwiz, on 07/13/2008, -30/+224more like "difference between one person's view from several other people's"
this is irrelevant - inactive, on 07/13/2008, -84/+264Reddit is honest and digg is crap?
off to reddit. - codyman, on 07/13/2008, -12/+177I don't bury people just because I disagree with them - I bury them when I feel that they puked on their keyboard and/or entered ridiculous, not-on-topic crap as a comment
- jtq1, on 07/13/2008, -11/+159digg, you just got served.
- ryan926, on 07/13/2008, -2/+148http://www.instantrimshot.com/
- desertDenizen, on 07/13/2008, -10/+154Reddit: Tomorrow's digg news, today.
- wezults, on 07/13/2008, -15/+147Its only one comment on Reddit. Larger sample size perhaps?
- chetanthaker, on 07/13/2008, -18/+137One uses Fox News and the other New York times
- inactive, on 07/13/2008, -10/+113This post seems familiar, I think I reddit yesterday.
- inactive, on 07/13/2008, -8/+107If you check back in on the Digg version you will see things have changed now. I'm currently at -13 for commenting on how respectful Digg was being.
- JVIikel, on 07/13/2008, -12/+90seriously! I love digg but hate the digg groupthink and people caring more about their comments digg level over their own opinion or thoughts. Anyways, this is what I took from this image:

- inactive, on 07/13/2008, -12/+72Reddit still loads extremely super fast and I can read about half of the front page Digg articles a day or so early.
- BevansDesign, on 07/13/2008, -21/+73Yea, digg seems to be the favored social news site for fox for some reason, and whenever they have a big story, their idiot readers wander over here. They're easy to spot, due to their use of words like "pray" and "god", and the way they use the word "liberal" to mean "anything that isn't specifically ultra-conservative or ultra-christian".
- CAisBacK, on 07/13/2008, -5/+57and replaced by even "nicer" comments....
- Jareth86, on 07/13/2008, -5/+55Buried as inaccurate. There were plenty of those comments on Digg, and if you click to see the amount of diggs, almost half of these "nice" comments with 10 points have around 150 diggs and 140 buries
- Einchy, on 07/13/2008, -28/+77Reddit is such an ugly website.
- mayra1201, on 07/13/2008, -4/+52wow... is this suggesting how easy it is to sway diggers in one direction?
- AKBryant54, on 07/13/2008, -24/+69Shamelessly copy/pasted from below (original made by user "spanner")
Because it's JUST THAT IMPORTANT
"THIS IS NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF REDDIT!
Please don't think reddit is like this, Digg users don't need to worry about how Reddit reacts, its really a non event, just move on and forget this post.
Don't even bother visiting reddit to see if it was true, its not, you are better just staying here, really reddit is not worth digg users attention, just carry on with posting here.
Actually Reddit is incredibly BORING! Thats right, nothing ever happens there, there are hardly any posts, or posters, its dead and sterile, its really not worth your attention.
Oh look, here's a neat post http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/70-nice-and-beautiful ...
click here instead, and get some firefox backgrounds, its far more interesting that bothering with reddit." - dOOBiEx213, on 07/13/2008, -7/+51Nice. Now you'll see digg articles DAYS sooner.
- N01SE, on 07/13/2008, -7/+50The Digg burying idea is fundamentally flawed. How can you get all sides of an argument and aspects of an issue if you allow groups to bury each other? It basically ends up being a contest determined by which group comments the most on a given issue in a short enough time, then the bandwagon rolls in, sees the majority, and strengthens them. People should be rewarded for posting alternative ideas and buried for posting regurgitations, that would definitely keep things unbiased and much more interesting in here.
- DesertDude, on 07/13/2008, -21/+64Digg = redneck version of Reddit
- noctu, on 07/13/2008, -35/+73so true digg does have way to many fan boy boot lickers
- Lixie, on 07/13/2008, -2/+40Profile checking is a bitch.
- NickMilne, on 07/13/2008, -0/+37The difference between loading Reddit and loading Digg is like the difference between opening .txt and opening .pdf.
- quasimot0, on 07/13/2008, -1/+35Reddit: Find out Mr.BabyMan's next front page stories.
- desertDenizen, on 07/13/2008, -2/+35Your name and mine, and we joined Digg 5 days apart? Now that's weird. Maybe you're my Tyler Durden. Or vice versa.
- desertDenizen, on 07/13/2008, -11/+42Reddit news + Digg UI = nirvana
- AdmiralZombie, on 07/13/2008, -5/+35noooo don't join reddit, the fact that reddit has so many less users than digg is what makes it so much better at times I think. The fact that the comments are simple one liners probably copied and pasted from somewhere else is awesome, i don't want that on my reddit!
Digg is nice too at times, but seriously the comments are lackluster at their best. - gal3on64, on 07/13/2008, -10/+38Reddit users, Digg him up, we don't want Digg users over here.
- merrickx, on 07/13/2008, -0/+28So digging up 'IT'S A TRAP' isn't great?
- sesstreets, on 07/13/2008, -3/+28Served.
- inactive, on 07/13/2008, -1/+26As long as you're indicating that digg is often 3 days behind reddit, you're absolutely right.
Ask mr. babyman...that's where he gets all of his stuff after it hits the front page of reddit. - DentThat, on 07/13/2008, -11/+34Those 4 comments proves how nerdy and pussy Digg can be sometimes.
- purpl3hazze, on 07/13/2008, -0/+23check it out for yourself: http://www.reddit.com/info/6rg09/comments/
- doctechnical, on 07/13/2008, -5/+28I try to reserve my digg-downs for posts that are obviously gaming an article (ie, the entirety of the comment is "Great Info!") or when the poster is factually wrong ("This water4gas sounds like it would work") or is just being a fugghead. There's no legitimate reason to dig down something just because you disagree with the poster's opinion.
How about limiting the number of digg-downs per account per day. So when you get a mustard-vs-ketchup battle rather than the mustard crew automatically digging down EVERY pro-ketchup comment they see, they'll have to reserve their limited venom. I suppose this would result in more sock-puppet accounts, alas, but I still think it would be better than the system as is. - greevar, on 07/13/2008, -1/+23No, it's all crap. It just come in different flavors.
- xXIrsotehkewlXx, on 07/13/2008, -2/+24Well the people that bandwagon digg are obviously just Morons. Possibly geniuses... depending on how they digg opinions that I agree with.
- makeinstall, on 07/13/2008, -2/+24I noticed the exact same things almost immediately about the screenshot.
1 post from a Reddit user who was actually expressing their feelings about a guy based on HIS ACTIONS IN LIFE, who through those actions, was the one time mouth piece for, what history will show as, one of the most authoritarian, immoral regimes ever, compared against 4 comments from mindless non-thinking 'oh death is so terrible - he must have been a really nice man' idiots from here.
This is why I pretty much prefer Reddit to here but here is easier on the eye. That is like comparing 2 women: one who is very pretty but not too bright and one that isnt obviously pretty but has a lot more substance and is a damn sight more quicker off the mark.
My time here is done, me thinks. - bizkit00, on 07/13/2008, -0/+20watch your comment disappear as an example of what he means? people could still read your incorrect and unintelligent comment on reddit.
- Paal, on 07/13/2008, -1/+21wouldn't it be great if everyone actually voted for comments that actually CONTRIBUTE to the discussion?
- nanajeebus, on 07/13/2008, -1/+21Wow. Well, that's somewhat symbolic considering the topic at hand, no?
