Allegedly the funds will be donated to a community-chosen non profit and it's just to keep bots out but I have doubts

What's a "digg"?

Man, coming to this corner of Fedi as something other than some Reddit inhabitant looking for a decaf version makes a lot of the conversation seem very strange.

not that i would have been interested in corporate social media anyway, but

Artificial intelligence will also play a larger part in making Digg more accessible to users, Rose said

makes it an instant hard no for me

I may check it out. But I don't have high hopes. And I'll stick with Lemmy for as long as it remains unenshittfied.

People love their paid Memberberry slop, but I don't think this is it, fam.

Is this new Digg going to be part of the fediverse?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

If it is successful, it will probably hinder a lot of the Threadiverse growth, the same way Bluesky hindered the growth of the Twittoverse

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Digg becoming really successful feels like a very bad thing, so naturally I'm inclined to believe that it is indeed what will happen.

They also look like they have gamification in place already which is something we're ideologically opposed to over here but has proven effective many times.
