Lots of venture capital money behind it. I wonder how quickly the enshitification will begin.
Trust me, bro, this time’lo be different, this VC-funded social network isn’t going to enshittify, AI is going to fight bots, just give me all your data bro

Meh, it’s still corpo space.
Someone will have to let me know because I’m not wasting my time there. I’m going to keep wasting my time here. It’s a fantastic waste of time
I actually kept going to Digg for a long, long time after it became essentially useless. I guess it was just part of my daily website routine.
As soon as I found out about the ownership change and what they were doing I said “so long” and have no intention of ever going there.
Sounds like an unholy wedding of AI and privacy nightmare to me.
I don’t know man, but Lemmy and the Fediverse seems to be a more mature ecosystem than that. Digg just looks like a stripped-down version of Reddit with no specific feature
If I ever find myself there I’ll just digg my way back to Lemmy
Yeah… no. None of that sounds appealing.
‘Curbing toxicity with AI’ means a bot is going to ban you because it doesn’t recognise sarcasm.
And ‘new tech to verify your identity’ sounds like a privacy violation at best.
‘Verifying that you own a product before they let you post in its community’ is a complete lack of understanding of how people use places like this.
Digg can fuck right off.
While AI obviously is not perfect and is flawed in many ways, having AI sift through the torrent of comments and then flag problematic submissions for human review is likely going to be extremely effective with minimal false positives. Though I do say this as a person whose Reddit account is currently banned for 3 days for “inciting violence” because of a knife-based joke.
“I run faster with a knife!!”
Yeah, the verifying that you own a product thing is so dumb.
“Hey <insert product> community. I’m thinking about purchasing <insert product>, but I wanted to know if it can do X, Y, and Z.”
“your post has been deleted because you have not proven that you own <insert product>.”
Wow, it’s like they made Reddit even worse.
Plus, Rose suggests Digg could use signals acquired from mobile devices to help verify members — for instance, the app could identify when Digg users attended a meetup in the same location.
Maybe I’m being paranoid, but this does not sound like a good thing for privacy.
“Hi! We’ve just noticed there are 2 other members of d/footfettish next to you, go say hi!”
Low key win for kink communities.
You are absolutely right about that. Passively detecting your location? Fuck that. We are getting into an era where bots are overwhelming and user verification is a valid topic to discuss. I think additional device permissions can be one element in that discussion. But this idea he popped off the dome is a miserable example of such.
Figured I’d sign up to preserve my username just in case, but it doesn’t work without an app. Oh well.
These sites are supposed to be gateways to the internet. Why the fuck would you put that in any app other than a browser?
The article said the public beta opens on Wednesday.
Digg dug its own grave.
I can hear this image.
Ahh that brings back memories. First video game I ever played. :)
Reddit was the Digg replacement.
oh how the turn tables
EDIT: Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!
This is a rerun, and the fediverse is better
