Digg tried to unseat reddit decades ago. Didn't fly then, likely not gonna fly now

Unfortunatly niche communities are still dead on lemmy. I may have to use digg

[–] Lfrith@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Do you really have to? I think these days its best to not create a new account for corporate run social media sites, and instead just lurk instead of being an active contributor. Ideally using a front end if available.

Shouldn’t this be in nottheonion?

Interesting, but nah. They launched it before for influencers to join, and I'm not sure how many did. I haven't heard much about it. It sounds like it's gonna be very corporate run. I have no idea what the political climate will be, but there's a lot of big money behind it, so that's not great. I got kicked off Reddit for saying child abusers should be punished more harshly, which says way more about Reddit than it does about me. I don't trust Digg to be any better.
