More nerdy than Reddit, more of an emphasis on Star Trek (less Star Wars) and programming/linux memes than anything (at least when browsing Top/New posts). It's a bit higher brow I guess than Reddit, though not nearly as much content. In Reddit, I would very rarely see everything there was to see in a single day if I was looking at the Front Page. It's not too bad though. I'm not going back to Reddit, so I guess I have to smirk at all the Trek jokes now.
Otherwise, still seeing some of the same issues that affected Reddit and some that I never saw there, out-of-control mods, abandoned communities, seemingly intentional misunderstanding of blatant sarcasm, some rudeness (not as much though), and an overly Leftist worldview (I consider myself left-leaning, but it gets kind of ridiculous at times). It's just part of the whole social media thing I guess.
