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
I highly doubt anyone on the fediverse will migrate from here to there. Perhaps Digg wants Redditors to switch over to them? I don't really understand who this is for.
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.
I was gonna give it a chance back when they were letting people reserve their usernames. When the site first went live (in beta, I guess?) they wanted me to pay them money to gain access. Enshittification is baked into the platform.
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.
