Digg is about to be rebooted. Thoughts? (reboot.digg.com)

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.

If their best angle is to recycle a 20 year old brand ...well I can't imagine that will go very far

I care enough to say i don't give a shit about it.

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

I'm glad Kevin Rose is back on board. However AI Moderation concerns me. Greatly.

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.

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.

I wonder what they will do differently, this time around. This space is quite crowded already, and getting eye-balls is hard work !
