I don’t think there is anything that you can do.

The only reason people switch from old communities to new ones is because of a vastly better UI for your average user. See the switch from Usenet to forums to Stack Overflow / Facebook or w/e. In the case of Digg to reddit, Digg’s UI got worse.

The only thing anyone can do is make a new app/website with vastly better UI and then live through your values accordingly.

Most of your blog post is about moderation/monetization and that’s important, but to be honest, it doesn’t speak directly to your average user.
