Lots of venture capital money behind it. I wonder how quickly the enshitification will begin.

Unfortunatly niche communities are still dead on lemmy. I may have to use digg

Do you really have to? I think these days its best to not create a new account for corporate run social media sites, and instead just lurk instead of being an active contributor. Ideally using a front end if available.

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.

I’ll pass

I looked at it for 5 seconds. The UI looked pretty hideous. Even new reddit looks better than it.

Why does sorting by trending only show posts from December 10th?

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

I likely won't be using it, but I can appreciate any Reddit alternatives.
