Designer News
Where the design community meets.

For most things there is a "tipping point", but I think much of that has to do with scale and how to accommodate it. Reddit is an example that has scaled well... perhaps it's because it has many niche channels?
I don't think that's a good thing here... but just saying that just because DN hits a particular size, it doesn't mean it's inevitable that the quality will degrade.
Designer News
Where the design community meets.
Designer News is a large, global community of people working or interested in design and technology.
Have feedback?
Smaller communities have better content. It's been proven by Dribbble while in its beginning, and DN while in its beginning. Being invite-only or not does not address the issue. Once you've gone over a certain limit, things go downhill from there and there's no way of going back, at least, in practice.
