lol, sign up for updates? Doomed, fucking doomed

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.

Never tried it but I’m worried that they (too) will use AI for moderating and all that. AI as moderator for deleting, flagging and stuff is a bad idea.

Just look at Pinterest’s mess with AI that removes pins and ban accounts for no reason.

I’ll probably wait when Digg is rebooted and see how the early-adopters write about their experiences.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't see any info on this from the sign up page on what it is and product differentiation. So.... I'm signing up because I like Kevin Rose...?

I am going back to /.

Dont care unless something significant happens

Not interested in what will most likely just be yet another right-wing bullshit platform.

any social media that wants to keep the toxic folks out needs to keep their API private.

It would be neat if they could get activityhub Integration. Then we can have Tumblr/digg pop up.

Honestly, all I've ever really known was reddit. In 2011, I remember the cheezburger site having funny memes and seeing "reddit" mentioned a lot. Checked it out and liked it. Magical time back then. Chuck Testa, Tom Cruse, Rampart. sigh

Oh well, it sucks ass now and so far I'm enjoying Lemmy. Will check out the new Digg though, just to support and help reddit die.
