Worthless crap. Thank fuck we’re on a platform free of centralised ownership.
Oh look, another centralized social media platform that will eventually get enshittified
not quite sure it’s not starting out enshittified
If it stars out enshittified then you never had anything to enshittify, just plain shit.
yeah it doesnt look bad at all, thatll prob come later, the ai in use right now are a nonissue imo

Don’t care.
Is anyone else amazed that digg just won’t die? How many other popular sites have come and gone, and yet, digg is always lurking in the shadows.
Digg has been basically dead for 15 years.
let me guess it’s ai slop
No thanks
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.
AI. BOTS. MILLENIAL INFANTILE DESIGN. CORPORATE SPEAK.
Gee, I wonder why people aren’t tripping over themselves to join this.
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.
Idk, its less subjective than the top comment summaries on reddit from users
Is there some reason we want brands to join the conversation?
They💸foster💸real💸human💸connections.
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.

Becuase the app is in alpha lol, its janky everywhere, has no settings or customizability uet, cant even make communities yet, ill give them the benefit of the doubt that you can turn them off or auto hide them
So not only was the AI put front and center, it was also put in first?!
I’ve looked at plenty of alpha software before, and I’ve seen plenty of incomplete features. I understand that one has to give an unfinished product leeway. But devs do not simply accidentally add a whole feature into an app. Or if this was somehow all a huge coincidental mistake, they made a massive PR blunder.
summaries are a non issue, stealing other ppls work to pass of on your own is
Why the fuck would I want my link aggregator to have a leaderboard?
People competing for fake internet points is already driving some of the worst patterns we’re seeing on the social web. Imagine putting that shit front and center.
Because those shitty patterns make the platform valuable. It’s about creating investor value, end user be damned.
Maybe if they allow API access for alternative frontends that eliminate ads and block telemetry. Otherwise, not interested.
So basically you want Digg to undo the things that made us all move from Digg to Reddit?
shrugs in Mbin
nods enthusiastically in Mbin
How’s mbin doing, lately? I switched (back) to Lemmy when kbin shuttered and haven’t kept up with it.
It’s stable, Melroy is both a good dev and a good admin. The software basically fades into the background, which is ideal. There’s been ongoing development, but PeerTube still isn’t supported - and that’s the only negative I’ve got.
