The history of the /r/xkcd kerfuffle

I posted this to HN to demonstrate that there's still room for a Reddit competitor, which is interesting.

People often reference Digg's power users as one source for the degradation of Digg. I think future conversations will also mention Reddit's moderators leading to the degradation of Reddit.

Maybe Reddit is a case of a system working just well enough that a competing system can't gain a foothold, like the music industry. On the other hand, with Reddit's recent actions against the wishes of the community, they may be passing their baton to a future upstart.
