Right. I feel that even as this site covers slightly more mainstream topics, it does so in a much different way than Reddit. The bar is higher, the discussion more intelligent and civil.
You really can't go to Reddit/Digg for intelligent "mainstream interests". You can go there for unintelligent ravingly liberal interests. I find myself slightly left of center, but those sites seem to border on socialist.
I hope we can avoid rabid libertarianism here. It seems to me that I've been downmodded recently because I might disagree with that ideology, even though my position was entirely orthogonal.
