I can't wait for the longtime users here to get butthurt. There was a fair amount of arrogance from some of the old reddit users towards the digg refugees.
Reddit was already changing before the Digg exodus, but the sudden increase in the userbase did correlate with a sudden decline in the quality of posts. Many of the other pre-exodus users took that to mean that all the Digg refugees were bad for the community, but it's just the natural consequence of a larger community.
I'm brand new here, but so far they seem quite nice! Hopefully that friendliness will continue while the community grows--it's one of the reasons I think I might just stay here.
