Digg is returning to something resembling its OG days.
It's being led by the unusual partnership of Alex Ohanian (one of 3 co-founders of Reddit, better than Huffman), and Kevin Rose (Digg founder).
They bought back the rights and are building it now. It may end up being more popular than reddit.
It has some flaws like a lot of ai built in, forced ai tldrs you cant turn off, daily leaderboards for top posters/commenters, but I still like it more than reddit's current form, but thats prob becuase it isnt public yet
Fucking barf. They're gonna breed an even more toxic culture than reddit with that bullshit.
If you thought karma whoring was bad when they just had a number to chase, imagine how bad it will be when you have direct visibility of your competition on being the biggest karma whore in town...
at least its only 24 hours, but that was an issue on reddit where the same ppl daily were known for hitting the front page
It is NOT difficult to build a superior product right now. But you're battling the legal side of Big Tech's takeover to get infrastructure/marketing. Enshittification demands that the people can't find the incentive or will to leave, and were firmly there as society.
Ah you got the early access for a couple bucks? I'm bummed I missed the window.
I have a lot of things to say having been in the software, journalism domain and thought heavily about conceptualizing what such a platform may look like for the betterment of society. Jimmy Wales has been trying, too. Was on their discord for a bit but I was a little skeptical of their direction, even if noble.
before ppl complain about the money again, it went to a charity everyone voted on in circle and im pretty sure the charity confirmed they received it with a thanks digg or some shit
I can send you an invite when they go live this week
Sounds like a scam to get VC money before it eventually turns back into old digg/current Reddit. I wouldn’t join it if I was looking for a good experience, I’d just stick with Reddit.
I’ll stay here instead
I'll keep a foot in both; for as much as I like Lemmy, its marketing and intuitiveness blows and will sadly likely forever remain niche. That has its qualities, but also its downsides.
