The new Digg feels a lot like the same ole’ Reddit. The mobile app is basically a clone, even down to the pointless “Trending” bar at the top.
There’s no API support yet, no plan for federation, and no guardrails to stop the slow slide into bloat (notice the Digg Daily AI podcast?) and ads we’ve all seen before.
Right now the only thing holding it together is the community, and the goodwill of Kevin Rose and the team. I respect them, but goodwill isn’t a plan.
Leadership changes. Platforms change. When money starts talking, users always pay the price.
No federation? No thank you.
