Digg 2.0 is explicitly designed to be worse though, with crypto. And it has zero cachet with younger folks. Who the fuck is taking that seriously? Does anyone actually genuinely believe that digg is going to turn into anything but a pump and dump in the extremely remote chance that it does achieve a userbase that’s bigger than Lemmy?
Oh, and ai doing almost all moderation.
That’s going to be such a shitshow x)
I’m gonna go with “Digg 2.0 will be late stage Reddit from the jump.”
Remember how Digg failed because they were doing the exact same things that Reddit has done? Heavy-handed moderation, playing games with boosting some content and pushing other content down, power users, UI changes that nobody asked for.
Why anyone would think “it’ll be different this time” is beyond me.
No.
Thanks for sharing
Sweet summer child
Has any internet company came back to relevance after burned out?
Edit: maybe Twitch? That was Justin.tv and rebranded for gaming streaming, but can’t think of any other.
