Not much info yet, but I grew up on Digg, so I’m cautiously optimistic. Probably no Fediverse support, but honestly, any Reddit alternative is a win. Really hoping for real API access and third-party apps.

its such shame details disappear into history. i bet there were tons of stuff on there that would be interesting today that doesnt exist anywhere anymore

It was a ton of memes, soundboards (you might have heard the series of prank calls people made with them), and a lot of the same images that would make reddit’s jailbait sub. Im not sure it dying represents a loss.

oh it was like that. i guess the worthwhile content from there already lives on elsewhere then

[–] RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 hours ago

Yeah it’s like 4chan in that the parts that were worth a damn live elsewhere. Early internet cultures are interesting but they weren’t healthy and quite a lot would prove the commonality of attraction of heterosexual men towards teenagers.
