I'm maxed out on social media. Lemmy is my main one. Then, there's Facebook so my old relatives can see baby pics. I'd rather not, but they're old and set in their ways. I have Discord strictly as a chat platform with my brother and a couple college buddies for gaming. I have LinkedIn for work, and never look at it. And finally, I watch YouTube (Revanced). That's it. There's no room for Digg anymore.
Leave Facebook. Nobody will notice. If anyone does notice, text them the pics.
No real info, so I am not hopeful and cynical.
My guess the new superpower is AI stuff or a shop to give them money for the memes.
Its gonna be linked to reddit and theyll pretend its federated to take steam away from federated stuff like bluesky did to mastodon
There seems to be this possessive myth that Mastodon would have been more popular if only it hadn't been for Bluesky. Nah. It would have been exactly as popular as it currently is. The techies like us would have found it, just like we did, but everyone else would haven't have used it. Everyone would just still be on Twitter.
I get everyone's beef with Bluesky, but let's not pretend that Mastodon isn't responsible for its own problems.
Bought and revived by Alexis Ohanian? It can only turn out into a dumpster fire. It's probably just to diversify their data collection in case there's an actual massive Reddit exodus and the brand name becomes too toxic.
Dig long ago dug its grave. Then Reddit jumped in too. Long live Lemmy.
Some of us already left Lemmy or never joined, for the likes of Mbin or PieFed (or eventually Sublinks?).
Long live the Fediverse.
There's not much to think about for me.
Thoughts? Frankly, none.
It sucked so bad it died once and it's still a corpo owned platform. IDK why they want to suck twice 🤷🏻♂️
If there’s no MrBabyMan, why bother?
My moderation barometer will be If I see Luigi posts on the front page, I'll give it a shot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Meh, I've moved on. I was addicted to digg back in the day, but they'll have to earn viewership back from me. Not impossible, but content, moderation, and monitization are going to be hard to perfect these days.
Digg killed digg IMO. They either learned a lesson, or it's more of the same.
I care enough to say i don't give a shit about it.
Too late now...

This digg is set up is to catch the normies exiting reddit so they don't end up here IMHO
Just another corpo set up
If they federate then its good otherwise its just gonna be the same thing as reddit all over again
If their best angle is to recycle a 20 year old brand ...well I can't imagine that will go very far
Digg was absolutely amazing when it was new, but it didn't take long to turn to shit for some reason, and reddit was way better during the old reddit/Digg war.
Fun thing is that reddit now does many of the same things Digg did before Digg turned completely away from its original concept.
I must admit my hopes for Digg becoming relevant for me again is near zero, like VERY near zero.
