It's gonna be enshittified from the get go. Reddit grew organically then enshittifed over time. Creating a new platform backed by VC in this day and age is guaranteed to be immediately bad.

Clicked around...looks like every corpo site out there. Im not sure what this gives other than yet another place to talk about very general subjects.
I just dont see the appeal to be honest. At least with the fedi, we can chose what our joinable communities look like. This just looks like yet another "app". With a never ending feed...
All these sites look like children’s toys
I left Digg 15 years ago. I'm surprised it's still around.
I've only heard about it since in this way, some quick announcement about the "new Digg". And, then, nothing.
Reddit banned me for saying "see a Nazi, punch a Nazi." There's no way I'm going to bother with Digg, that's the past, and I have no doubt they'd sooner than later be the same as Reddit in that regard.

Wow, I can't wait to never use that and forget all about it.
Sooo, Digg started to monetize, Manipulate the feeds for money, allowing Reddit to swoop in and steal their lunch. Doubled down as the platform emptied, now 15 years later, they say Trust me, Bro?
I got about a quarter way through the article before realizing that I don’t care in the slightest.
Is it federated?
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?

I highly doubt anyone on the fediverse will migrate from here to there. Perhaps Digg wants Redditors to switch over to them? I don't really understand who this is for.
I was gonna give it a chance back when they were letting people reserve their usernames. When the site first went live (in beta, I guess?) they wanted me to pay them money to gain access. Enshittification is baked into the platform.
Sounds like an unholy wedding of AI and privacy nightmare to me.
Unfortunatly niche communities are still dead on lemmy. I may have to use digg

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
