Beyond the release, Digg faced problems due to so-called "power users" who would manipulate the article recommendation features to only support one another's postings, flooding the site with articles only from these users and making it impossible to have genuine content from non-power users appear on the front page.[20]

A little piece of online history I didn't know: one reason Digg users migrated to Reddit was to escape power users manipulating content.

Ouch.

I remember some list of ca. 50 Reddit accounts which you were supposed to block to get a better Reddit experience. I guess at a specific size of userbase, there are always some people that will start to game the system.

It is not uncensored, it is moderated by AI.

It is an AI product.

I had comments removed because a literal translation of my words could be considered a threat.

The comment was about a goose eating bread.

That is the most hilarious second (third?) death of Digg.

Well seeing as its invite only still. Probably not yet.

I doubt anything that tightly under the creators control is going to be "soiled" yet
