Well, Digg back then was better than Reddit is now, so I guess that's something.
Digg was never better than reddit.
Yep. There's a reason I moved over even before the v4/2011 fiasco
It was going downhill the same way reddit did after the v4 exodus. There was fun to be had there as well.
he's also a huge venture capitalist invested in ai too
Oooh, bring slashdot back too.
Slashdot is still around and has been for a while
All the progressives left and it's just libertarians now.
Guy should really move on.

I rememeber leaving Digg.
And Kevin Rose was the killer the first time.
Can we bully him into federating
AI slop
I joined Reddit originally because Digg fuckin' sucked lol
Same. I was a Digg refuge when I joined Reddit as well. That redesign was totally ass!
Reddit used to be good, now its just another app nag whore.
- Find new niche media
- Enjoy
- More people join
- Media changes
- More people = more context = wider viewpoints = more infighting
- Media changes too much
- Look for alternatives
- Find new niche media
- Enjoy
- More people join......
- Media changes too much because of enshitification.
Regular users are not the problem, for the most part, assuming decent moderation.
Massive assumption there lol
I would append to #5: “= more ad revenue = more bending over for shareholders”
Many such cases
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.
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.
Fool me thrice...
