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.

That was a wild ride.

Don't care.

No thanks

Because that worked soo well for Apple.

And they realized it and fixed their mistake… hopefully…

Oh look, another centralized social media platform that will eventually get enshittified

not quite sure it’s not starting out enshittified

Not like itll prevent ppl from clicking on articles that alrady werent

yeah it doesnt look bad at all, thatll prob come later, the ai in use right now are a nonissue imo

Worthless crap. Thank fuck we're on a platform free of centralised ownership.

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.

Maybe if they allow API access for alternative frontends that eliminate ads and block telemetry. Otherwise, not interested.

let me guess it's ai slop

I'm looking forward to the "Here's your first look at the rebooted Reddit" articles in 7 years.

So basically you want Digg to undo the things that made us all move from Digg to Reddit?

Is there some reason we want brands to join the conversation?
