No thanks, people hop from centralized platform to centralized platform thinking things will be different.
Consolidated power, especially when fully captured by market forces, will always enshitify, the only out is federation.

Same. I was a Digg refuge when I joined Reddit as well. That redesign was totally ass!

Many such cases

Probably wouldn’t get me to leave Lemmy, but I wouldn’t mind another competitor to Reddit.

As far as centralized servers go I’ve always liked tildes.net as a reddit alternative.

Briefly joined Discuit during the Reddit API ruckus but I was already on Lemmy so I never stuck with it. It’s been open sourced and the people seemed mostly pleasant so it seemed like it was on a reasonable path towards creating a good space.

He looks like it.

Look everybody wants to shit all over this, and for good measure.
But we can’t all be like “Kendrick Lamar’s Superbowl performance was a deep critique on the problems in America and the resurgence of a racial divide in America!” that literally featured Serena Williams crip walking, and turn around and act like she has zero influence on her husband Alexis Ohanian, his politics, or his understanding of where America is at.
brickfrog@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
Strange, are people really arguing that? Back in 2020 Alexis Ohanian resigned from the board of Reddit and asked for his seat to be replaced with a black candidate. Say what you want about the guy but he doesn’t seem that out of touch with America’s racial issues.
www.cnn.com/2020/06/05/tech/…/index.html
I don’t have any issues with the guy but IMO the Digg thing may end up going nowhere if they’re really planning on relying on AI for moderation, just seems like like a bad idea overall

What? Not following at all
SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Everyone acts like Alexis Ohanian is an untrustworthy piece of shit because he was a reddit founder.
He is married to Serena Williams. Williams has been a focal point of hate for the right wing for decades. Literally years of unnecessary hate and derision on her because she didn’f fit stereotypical beauty guidelines. She also literally has first hand experience of having her medical issues ignored by doctors, which happens at a far greater rate for black women.
Williams may be rich, but she was never obscene rich, and she got where she was squarely off her real talents. She also was part of a Superbowl show which made a point to critique where America is at and where it is headed. A superbowl show that made right wingers collectively melt down.
I’m saying people are acting like she, a black woman who has experienced direct adversity from the right-wing, has no impact on how Ohanian conducts himself or how he approaches life, and that we should expect the same-old, same-old techbro bullshit from him. I just don’t think that’s the case after they’ve been married so long.

Ok…it kind of seems like your post had the intention of staying on topic, but then did a HARD pivot over to an entirely different topic, and tried to shoehorn it into this topic. But it didn’t work. If I showed someone your post, and didn’t give them context, nobody would guess you were talking about Kevin Rose relaunching digg.

arotrios@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Well, Digg back then was better than Reddit is now, so I guess that’s something.
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Digg was never better than reddit.

Yep. There’s a reason I moved over even before the v4/2011 fiasco

Right? I watched him on TechTV as a kid, but then he turned into a douchey tech-bro and I haven’t kept up - and now he looks like an old man!
sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
I once listened to an episode of his tech-bro podcast and it hit me right in the childhood memories…
BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 2 months ago
He looks like early 2000s Kevin Rose aged up to pretend he’s 2020s Kevin Rose.

What the fuck happened to him? He looks old!
