Never used digg. I went directly from Slashdot to Reddit.
Same, I heard about Digg but never went there. Usenet->Slashdot->Reddit.
I still have a low 4-digit Slashdot account I never use. I felt sad when it got sour. In the the beginning when people announced passion projects on Slashdot the comments were "That's so cool, it'll be interesting to see how it turns out. Not something I'll be needing but I wish them the best of luck.". In late stage Slashdot it would be "Why! What a waste of time. They should all focus on what I use". Unfortunately that self centered type of negativity is everywhere these days.
I went back when I quit reddit. Immediately found racist shit complaining about equality in schools and some concerning comments about vaccines.
Fell far from the site that basically dripped Demon Haunted World to me.
