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.

There’s not much to think about for me.
They say they’ll use AI, so fuck them.
Yeah, the mention of AI is pretty ominous. It makes me wonder if AI would be used to fill in the gaps when the user base is too low.
It absolutely will be. It’s what’s happening to twitter right now. Loads and loads of bots/ai posting “content.”
Why would I care about a site that killed itself some 15 years ago being rebooted, especially taking into account that were on Lemmy, a federated system? I don’t care
Any alternative is not a win. Fediverse only moving forward.
If they federate then its good otherwise its just gonna be the same thing as reddit all over again
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.
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.
It sucked so bad it died once and it’s still a corpo owned platform. IDK why they want to suck twice 🤷🏻♂️

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.
I haven’t thought about digg in 20 years. And I don’t intend to start now.
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…?
lol, sign up for updates? Doomed, fucking doomed
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.
