Well, Digg pretty much shot itself in the face yesterday with their handling of several of their member’s decision to post the HD-DVD decryption key that recently became available through a court document.

Allen Stern posted about this over on CenterNetworks, in the article he mentioned Y Combinator News as a Digg alternative – yeah, Y Combinator is pretty cool, but when it comes to Digg alternatives, where’s the Reddit love? From what I’ve seen Reddit is one of the closest sites, community and functionality wise, to Digg – without the big brother complex!

(Disclaimer: if you don’t like xkcd, Reddit may not be for you. :) )
