    Digg had critical mass. It went down in flames.

    It doesn’t take bajillions of users to generate enough content to form a reasonable alternative.

    Niche subreddits will be hard to recreate though unfortunately, but plenty of time to grow. And long-term, federated seems like a good model so that once these communities are rebuilt they aren’t at the mercy a company who’s main concern is short-term profits.
