digg has become cesspool which I refused to believe for the longest time. I was one of their biggest supporters in the early days and looked over the influx of mass stupidity as it arrived in waves.

I just couldn't take it anymore and stumbled upon (pun not intended) reddit which seems to have become a political battlefield and 4chan playground along with digg.

I am here and content for now. It offers the quality stories I have to literally search for on digg and reddit without the words, "newfag" or "sheeple" in every other sentence.

From the very short time I have been reading here, I've seen something that digg and reddit has lost. A sense of maturity. A genuine desire to converse rather than enrage. That's why I am here. I am curious to hear what brought others here and hope this didn't sound too much like a soapbox speech.
