this would-be Reddit competitor, built for the AI era
Oh no...
The founders think that the internet is being flooded with bots and AI agents, which will create demand for online communities like Digg that foster real human connections.
Okay, Digg has my cautious attention...
Beneath posts, Digg is leveraging AI to summarize the article’s content.
And they lost me.
It must be tiring to be this narrow-minded.

I see no reason to engage with, or trust anything created by, a bullshit generator. If Digg claims to "care" about the humans, then making the top comment into a brick wall (which has zero accountability) is a funny way of showing it.
But then again, I'm sure their privacy policy also says they care about your privacy.
its not a comment its in the post and its alpha, they'll prob add an option for it to be closed by default.

I see many issues, including following Google's lead in building a zero-click internet for the uncurious
True, but its a tiny summary one sentence, im less likely to click the link when I see the fat human written summary at the top of reddit comments

What's wrong with AI summaries? AI has it's uses. A long as it's just adding some metadata I don't see nothing wrong with it.
For me the big questions is what are they going to do to stop bots, spam and internet points farming. So far they didn't reveal any plans.

AI. BOTS. MILLENIAL INFANTILE DESIGN. CORPORATE SPEAK.
Gee, I wonder why people aren't tripping over themselves to join this.

It never stops there though, they never just write their summary and leave it alone they always have to have the AI do more and more until it eventually takes over the entire platform.

Oh look, another centralized social media platform that will eventually get enshittified
This one is different, it starts enshittified and enshittifies further
