Conceptually what does this offer that the fediverse/threadiverse/lemmy/piefed doesn't?
What then does it say about the actual value of this company and others like it?
If you want a hypercurated/focused reddit experience just join metafilter.

Somehow I don't get the feeling the owners of Digg are going to be happy with the level of income Metafilter brings in to its owners however....
camera slowly pans and zooms out to the Fediverse where mint condition airplanes can be seen everywhere with the word FREE on them
Well, actual users and niche communities that get more than 3 responses max might be one thing it offers.
The warm and cozy feel of a VC-funded social network.
Normies can't seem to help but flock to corporate websites only.
Maybe it's because people drive them away from other spaces by doing things like calling them weird pseudo-slurs like "Normies", instead of engaging with them as valid human beings with different lives, experiences and interests who don't always want exactly what we want.
Yeah we are not using slurs enough. Other platforms are openly racist and therefore have better user engagement coz it's "funny" being openly racist.
To us? Nothing. To others? A single place to browse and sign up.
and maybe a place that takes more of reddits traffic
I can live with that.
Ngl. Will digg it.
Brand name; the simplicity of just going to a site and register instead of choosing an instance; algorithmic creation most likely.
All the AI features are a real plus /s
