This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
However, the rise of AI has presented an opportunity to rebuild Digg, Rose and Ohanian believe, leading them to acquire Digg last March through a leveraged buyout by True Ventures, Ohanian’s firm Seven Seven Six, Rose and Ohanian themselves, and the venture firm S32. The company has not disclosed its funding.
May as well get the shovel already.
Unfortunatly niche communities are still dead on lemmy. I may have to use digg
Me checking it out: types d i g g . c o m enter
Digg: Something went wrong! Show errror
Me: clicks show error box nothing
Welp so much for that
I don't know man, but Lemmy and the Fediverse seems to be a more mature ecosystem than that. Digg just looks like a stripped-down version of Reddit with no specific feature
it was the OG reddit, before reddit took over.
It's Digg, don't bother with them.
We're being asked to trust the same guy who somehow managed to enshittify his original site even faster than reddit.... lol
It could also do other things, like require that people who join a product-focused community verify they actually own or use the product being discussed there.
As an example, a community for Oura ring owners could verify that everyone who posts has proven they own one of the smart rings.
You've got to be fucking kidding me
Shouldn’t this be in nottheonion?
The company that enshittified itself to the point where all it's users left is back and already well down the enshittification road again? Okay. I guess I know that now.
Interesting, but nah. They launched it before for influencers to join, and I'm not sure how many did. I haven't heard much about it. It sounds like it's gonna be very corporate run. I have no idea what the political climate will be, but there's a lot of big money behind it, so that's not great. I got kicked off Reddit for saying child abusers should be punished more harshly, which says way more about Reddit than it does about me. I don't trust Digg to be any better.
Considering that Alexis Ohanian is involved, it looks like he wants another bite at the apple, so it'll likely go downhill pretty quickly.
If I ever find myself there I'll just digg my way back to Lemmy
