Comment on Digg’s open beta shuts down after just two months, blaming AI bot spam

That’s interesting and I missed that post, thanks!

It can be easy to lose track of how successful the fediverse already is, as the number of users will remain negligible compared to mainstream platforms for a really long time and possibly forever. Seeing how it easily outperforms a major player like Digg trying to re-establish themselves puts things into perspective.

Maybe they’ll relaunch as a piefed instance, lol

  I was thinking the same thing when I read this:
  
  A small but determined team is stepping up to rebuild with a completely reimagined angle of attack. Positioning Digg as simply an alternative to incumbents wasn’t imaginative enough. That’s a race we were never going to win. What comes next needs to be genuinely different.
  
  Small team, completely reimagined, not simply an alternative, genuinely different… They are describing a federated instance.
