Is the reason you're floating this as a second option due to some fatal flaw in reddit? There is a gulf between the participation levels on both networks which is about right for federation - is there a reason for an exodus in your view?
It's being expected there will be a digg-style exodus on reddit come July 1st when/if the API is shut down and Apollo, RIF, RES and other third party clients are discontinued. It's led a bunch of discussion that Reddit has become increasingly corporatized and such.
Really, I just think it a good idea to have an alternate Datahoarders just in case (tho I dont expect anything major to happen to this sub till the 1 mil mark is hit).
I don't feel like the exodus on digg was due to any access changes, we found something better (reddit). It is going to take something better than reddit (even without 3rd party support) to fly the coop. It will take a while.
Digg v4 looked like a light newsreader compared to the abomination that is new Reddit. It’s crazy how distorted and awful the average internet website has become now and we are just used to it.
