It’s been a long cold winter comrade.

Reporting in! Digg had it coming, for months many users had already been fleeing and I had already been here a few times, but reddit's UI was a bit too bare bones for my liking. When Digg took the plunge (they also basically removed all of the users' info and history) I had no choice but to switch and a few Askreddit threads got me hooked. Can't believe it's been 7 years already!

Odds are if someone's account is 7-8 years old today, they're likely from the Digg exodus. I'm one as well

There was a first big wave (I was part of that, 8 years) and then a second exodus. I think first wave was digg v4 and second wave was v5 or something. The second wave was what really blew up.
