Lots of venture capital money behind it. I wonder how quickly the enshitification will begin.

I’ll pass
Trust me, bro, this time’lo be different, this VC-funded social network isn’t going to enshittify, AI is going to fight bots, just give me all your data bro
Doesn’t look good. People are creating communities about the popular communities on reddit just to look good but do not post anything on them
Is it me or is the site dead. Posts are from December?
I looked at it for 5 seconds. The UI looked pretty hideous. Even new reddit looks better than it.
Digg tried to unseat reddit decades ago. Didn’t fly then, likely not gonna fly now
Digg used to be what reddit wanted to be. Then they really fucked it up with a redesign.
I likely won’t be using it, but I can appreciate any Reddit alternatives.
I actually kept going to Digg for a long, long time after it became essentially useless. I guess it was just part of my daily website routine.
As soon as I found out about the ownership change and what they were doing I said “so long” and have no intention of ever going there.
Is mrbabyman back?
Would instances federate if Digg would implement the Lemmy protocol?
Why does sorting by trending only show posts from December 10th?
