probably not. I was migrated to reddit about 6 months to a year before the DIgg migration. It was a much smaller site at the time.
They have been dealing with issues of scale, not only in keeping the site running, but in its membership. Unfortunately as popularity gains, you see quality drop, and that is both for content and commentors alike.
I dont think he will be able to reverse it, unfortunately. Even if he tried, you will just get one shitstorm after the next. That is not to say i think the site is doomed, just that it will never again be what it was.

I would say that's the most prominent governing rule. Critical mass is a difficult thing to handle when expansion is the name of the game in your design model. To co-opt a quote - 'You can satisfy some of the users all the time, and all of users some of the time, but you can't satisfy all of the users all of the time'
Seems like a life rule really. It is one i live by for sure. I prefer to keep my relationships in life simple.
On another note, arent i supposed to get notified if someone replies to a comment? I just happen to come across this because i was looking for a way to see my own comment history.
There's a line that's posted to the notification log, although it seem to lack any kind of visual representation that it is there. On a similar note there doesn't seem to be any sort of pm system either. Lots of UI work to be done here.
yeah i found that. I figured there was a PM system based on the inbox and the little manage button saying "who can send you messages" but you are right, i cant find where to actually send a message. odd.
oh well.
Interesting. seems to adding @joethebob to replys now....
Indeed as i said in the post i got on reddit one and half year ago, although i haven't witnessed reddit in it's good state, it was not as bad back then as it is now, seriously.
