Digg comments tend to get very stupid too (but still smarter than YouTube's :p). If you want to read good contents and clever comments, Reddit.

Like you say, there are enough people on Digg to bury a great story and say, digg one about goldfish. It's why I only look to digg when I'm bored and need a laugh. Mixx on the other hand (the only one I actually use out of your list) is a little more open. The fact that it seems to have a relatively small userbase means that people still see the things that don't get voted up. It's still in those "pre-digg" stages, where it makes sense to visit it. Thanks for the link to News Cred. I've never heard of this one, normally I stick with Techmeme and a few other blogs as well for my intake of daily news.
