Not much info yet, but I grew up on Digg, so I’m cautiously optimistic. Probably no Fediverse support, but honestly, any Reddit alternative is a win. Really hoping for real API access and third-party apps.

I'm rooting for them simply because I want to see Reddit and them fight. I'm not going to be switching, because I'm basically done with centralized ultracapitalist bullshit for personal use.

    He has nothing to lose by competing. He owns a stake in Reddit, and he's rebooting a competitor. He wins either way, and striking out on his own has a better chance of making him more money than relying on his stake.

    If he fails and Reddit "wins," he still has his stake to fall back upon.
