A few observations
- interface is cleaner than Reddit (some people will probably complain about the space wasted, even in "compact" mode, but most users should be fine)
- there is only a handful of communities existing at the moment, and no option to create more. See picture for the list.
- feature-wise, it looks very similar to Reddit/Lemmy/Piefed: upvotes/downvotes, comments, sort types
Based on what happened with Twitter, Bluesky and Mastodon, we can probably imagine that Digg might be a new actor that quite a few people will join, when the people the most aware of enshittification of corporate platforms will stay on Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed
Random thought: maybe a "lifestyle" community could be a way to encompass a few communities that struggle to stay active
From my perspective, Digg and Reddit are the same thing. Anti-user platforms run by pro-corruption, pro-crime oligarchs (and wannabes).
I will note that Kevin Rose's previous project was an out and out scam; an NFT pump and dump.
Yes, the same way Bluesky and Twitter are the same, or close enough.
What might happen is still a migration of users from Reddit to Digg, but I guess we can't really expect a lot of people joining Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed
agreed. hard pass.
What is this previous project you speak of?
