With the Digg exodus, Reddit was already the strong #2 alternative for a decent amount of time so it was a no-brainer and obviously Reddit has grown exponentially beyond what Digg was.

I have no idea what is out there as an alternative at this point, there just seems to be too much chaff everywhere.

Yep, Twitter is currently enjoying this effect of having no "close 2nd" choice for their user base to defect to.

I've looked for a long time. Tildes feels like a good #2, but it seems content remaining extremely small. I think it's still invite only after 5 years.

Pretty much all alternatives I looked at lacked community. Not expecting reddit numbers, but even a threshold as simple as "more than 5 posts/20 comments a day" was a huge hurdle here. Social media is just so centralized now.
