Sweet hoping to leave this shit hole
jmcstar@reddit
Agreed, this place has gone full evil
The_Frame@reddit
Can't wait to leave digg for a 2nd time in 2039 when they sellout like reddit. Then we can all go back to new reddit(really old reddit). And the cycle of life continues.
Herban_Myth@reddit
They need fresh data not platforms infested with memes, circlejerks, & eventually bots.
Are bots/ai utilized to help “start-up” platforms and pump reported active user numbers?
grapesnpretzels@reddit
They are, that’s how Reddit started
Herban_Myth@reddit
Is BlueSky being propped up by bots?
grapesnpretzels@reddit
I think less so because BlueSky took a stance in having more users verify IIRC
grapesnpretzels@reddit
Twitter on the other hand, I imagine is chock full of em!
nipple_salad_69@reddit
Oh fuck yeah, same here

I used to enjoy Digg. Then it kinda fell off and I never really went back to it. Is it better now?
tunachilimac@reddit
They’ve bragged about how it’ll be AI driven where human mods tell the ai what to do. They also are apparently integrating with Sam Altman’s “Orb” startup where you go to one of his orbs at a physical location and let it scan your biometrics to tie to your digital identity. I don’t know how the user experience will be but it’s basically designed from the ground up to acquire our data for AI purposes with AI running the show.
UnflinchingSugartits@reddit (OP)
They're working on a reboot
Hokulewa@reddit
It's more that Reddit has fallen off so much that Digg seems much better now.

Frankly wasn't a fan of the general organization from last week's sneak peak. It just seemed like another website that compromises text-forward information for the sake of some aesthetic design flow.
UnflinchingSugartits@reddit (OP)
Care to share a little more? I heard they are taking this app called Pocket from i think Mozilla, under their wing as well. It's an app where you save news articles for later. So I'm wondering if that's what you're seeing and if they've even mentioned it to y'all yet.
even_less_resistance@reddit
I used to love pocket!
x21in2010x@reddit
Again, I'm not really a "design" person. Maybe it's not the most fair comparison, but one of the following looks like a 4 book covers and the other looks like 4 book pages:

Archivemod@reddit
ah yes, pocket, the inefficient applet alternative to Just Bookmark The Article, Stupid
Delicious_Ease2595@reddit
No Firefox user loved pocket
UnflinchingSugartits@reddit (OP)
Firefox, yes that's it, thank you

Digg mobile App
sf-flowerboy@reddit
looks a hell lot like those mastodon clients on fdroid
KrazyA1pha@reddit
The same picture is in the article, but in higher resolution.
Henddo@reddit
Can’t wait!
Delicious_Ease2595@reddit
Ok what's the moot of Digg now other than Reddit with better UX and worldcoin
Controversial_Banana@reddit
Reddit is shit
Delicious_Ease2595@reddit
Yes
GadFlyBy@reddit
The moat is negative: Reddit sucks ass
NeverMoreThan12@reddit
Looks too Twitter.
eaglebtc@reddit
The creator of the reddit app Apollo, Christian Selig, is on the Digg team. That means the app is going to be beautiful and awesome.
Winter_Permission328@reddit
To be clear, he’s part of the Digg team in an advisory role. I don’t think he’s actually working on the app directly.
Iggyhopper@reddit
Advisory role is even better. He gets to make decisions that count.
mmcmonster@reddit
Cool. I hear mobile is going to be a BIG THING in a couple years!

privinci@reddit
grr I thought digg was released
MrWeirdoFace@reddit
Great. So long as they keep a regular website log in too.
