Well, Digg back then was better than Reddit is now, so I guess that’s something.
Digg was never better than reddit.
Yep. There’s a reason I moved over even before the v4/2011 fiasco
It was going downhill the same way reddit did after the v4 exodus. There was fun to be had there as well.
he’s also a huge venture capitalist invested in ai too
Oooh, bring slashdot back too.
Slashdot is still around and has been for a while
All the progressives left and it’s just libertarians now.
Guy should really move on.

Damn he’s old….
……looks in mirror……
Damn he’s old too……
What the fuck happened to him? He looks old!
Right? I watched him on TechTV as a kid, but then he turned into a douchey tech-bro and I haven’t kept up - and now he looks like an old man!
I once listened to an episode of his tech-bro podcast and it hit me right in the childhood memories…
He looks like early 2000s Kevin Rose aged up to pretend he’s 2020s Kevin Rose.
I rememeber leaving Digg.
And Kevin Rose was the killer the first time.
Can we bully him into federating
No thanks, people hop from centralized platform to centralized platform thinking things will be different.
Consolidated power, especially when fully captured by market forces, will always enshitify, the only out is federation.
Probably wouldn’t get me to leave Lemmy, but I wouldn’t mind another competitor to Reddit.
Fool me thrice…
As far as centralized servers go I’ve always liked tildes.net as a reddit alternative.
Kevin Rose is a huge turd
He looks like one.
AI slop
Look I get why everybody wants to shit all over this, and for good reasons.
But we can’t all be like “Kendrick Lamar’s Superbowl performance was a deep political critique on the problems in America and the resurgence of a racial divide in America!” that literally featured Serena Williams crip walking, and turn around and act like she has zero influence on her husband Alexis Ohanian, his politics, or his understanding of where America is at.
I am cautiously optimistic.
Ok…it kind of seems like your post had the intention of staying on topic, but then did a HARD pivot over to an entirely different topic, and tried to shoehorn it into this topic. But it didn’t work. If I showed someone your post, and didn’t give them context, nobody would guess you were talking about Kevin Rose relaunching digg.
