However, the rise of AI has presented an opportunity to rebuild Digg, Rose and Ohanian believe, leading them to acquire Digg last March through a leveraged buyout by True Ventures, Ohanian’s firm Seven Seven Six, Rose and Ohanian themselves, and the venture firm S32. The company has not disclosed its funding.
May as well get the shovel already.
It's Digg, don't bother with them.
The company that enshittified itself to the point where all it's users left is back and already well down the enshittification road again? Okay. I guess I know that now.
We're being asked to trust the same guy who somehow managed to enshittify his original site even faster than reddit.... lol
It could also do other things, like require that people who join a product-focused community verify they actually own or use the product being discussed there.
As an example, a community for Oura ring owners could verify that everyone who posts has proven they own one of the smart rings.
You've got to be fucking kidding me
Interesting, but nah. They launched it before for influencers to join, and I'm not sure how many did. I haven't heard much about it. It sounds like it's gonna be very corporate run. I have no idea what the political climate will be, but there's a lot of big money behind it, so that's not great. I got kicked off Reddit for saying child abusers should be punished more harshly, which says way more about Reddit than it does about me. I don't trust Digg to be any better.

Shouldn’t this be in nottheonion?
Considering that Alexis Ohanian is involved, it looks like he wants another bite at the apple, so it'll likely go downhill pretty quickly.
