A lot of these issues are temporary. Also, this is all happening very fast, it's entirely possible that some other website/service will pop up that'll be a lot better thought out.
Reddit was already well established and functional during the Exodus of Digg, so there wasn't much discussion about where to go. Today we have no solid alternative, so people are trying Lemmy, Kbin, Mastodon, Squabbles and other websites.
Digg is kinda before my time, what did they do to cause the exodus?
They let corporations submit blog posts (company spam, basically) and they'd instantly go to the top, pushing any normal submissions down into oblivion. Management thought that more ads will get them more revenue, but instead everyone just left.
