A few observations
- interface is cleaner than Reddit (some people will probably complain about the space wasted, even in "compact" mode, but most users should be fine)
- there is only a handful of communities existing at the moment, and no option to create more. See picture for the list.
- feature-wise, it looks very similar to Reddit/Lemmy/Piefed: upvotes/downvotes, comments, sort types
Based on what happened with Twitter, Bluesky and Mastodon, we can probably imagine that Digg might be a new actor that quite a few people will join, when the people the most aware of enshittification of corporate platforms will stay on Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed
Random thought: maybe a "lifestyle" community could be a way to encompass a few communities that struggle to stay active
It's nice that you like it. I'm just fine with the things they are on lemmy and mastodon. I see no need for another US corporation to control and censor the internet discourse.
See ya!
I never said I liked it, and I don't plan to leave the Fediverse.
Same. Frankly it's also about the users. I appreciate people who are willing to put a little effort in, and invest some treasured and limited mental bandwidth understanding how federation works in order to join the community and share their thoughts. A little bit of barrier to entry is a feature, not a bug as far as I'm concerned. Yes it's going to keep the mainstream away, but on the plus side, it also keeps the mainstream away.
