From my perspective, Digg and Reddit are the same thing. Anti-user platforms run by pro-corruption, pro-crime oligarchs (and wannabes).

I will note that Kevin Rose's previous project was an out and out scam; an NFT pump and dump.

I left Digg for Reddit back in the day. Then I left Reddit for Lemmy. Now, I'm still not going back because I learned my lesson.

A mass exodus from reddit to digg because reddit got too shitty would be pretty funny

Is Digg committing itself to the concept of community moderation by volunteers with large amounts of autonomy, or is it going down an AI-route?

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!

If Digg is making a comeback then it really has gone full circle.

At least blue sky is open/decentralized. Digg is just yet another centralized alternative

Digg is still a thing?

I don't trust it. Mostly because it's under control of Kevin Rose (OG Digg co-founder) and Alexis Ohanian (OG reddit co-founder), both of whom sold out of their original companies. Fair enough, it at least means they have some idea of what they're doing (at least for 2005), but it also means they're going to sell out again sometime. I'm tired finding "new home"s, tired of settling in and getting used to new interfaces, lingo and ways things happen, tired of chasing down new communities, identifying good and bad actors, and establishing ban and follow lists. I'm old and I'm grumpy and I'm tired of this shit.

i dont see the appeal. i assume digg will eventually have all the same problems as reddit. im just gonna keep using hexbear and only look at reddit for stuff to cringe at

If joined up I'd have gone full circle

Correction, it would be reddit's Threads

Nah. The Bluesky of Reddit will be whatever Kn0thing/Alexis Ohanian is cooking.

interface is cleaner than Reddit

Ever heard about something called „Frontends”?

I doubt we'll see the same kind of exodus to this like what happened with Bluesky and Twitter*. Reddit, for all its faults, doesn't have an Elon Musk at the helm which was a major push factor for both masto and bsky adoption.

* Also it should be pointed out that Bsky has ~10 million MAU while Twitter still has ~350 million, so the exodus wasn't even that large.

I have two invites if anyone needs one, its okay, I dont like the ai automod already, it censors very randomly, You have to talk in a kinda pedantic manner, I've repeated the same sht two different ways with one getting removed automatically.
