considering how much larger Reddit has become than Digg ever was, if the redesign becomes mandatory and if it causes a mass exodus, this one would be worse.

The question is if these two things will happen, of course.

EDIT: another avenue of foot-shooting might be closing the API off from the unofficial reddit apps.

Digg was much much larger then Reddit. Then the redesign happened (They also had people gaming the scoring system which soured the waters) Digg died in a few months.

There seems to be a lack of really viable alternatives for an exodus to happen toward. If Reddit is the new Digg, who is the new Reddit?
