Digg, a reboot of an earlier social news site, is now relaunching as a Reddit competitor focused on communities.

Lots of venture capital money behind it. I wonder how quickly the enshitification will begin.

    It started out enshittified, ai automod will take down your posts/comments for anything inappropriate like saying shit or fuck. No what the fucks on digg. They may have fixed it temporarily since ppl were complaining.

    Idk, the moment they swapped the shovel and tombstone for basic triangle upvote/downvotes I knew it was going to be corporate slop for the general public.

      It’s a venture capital company, what else could you expect

      Isn’t one of the guys behind reddit also behind bringing this back? It seems like another way to corner the market. I’d still join for a week to see if it could be my thing, though
