    Digg is returning to something resembling its OG days.

    It’s being led by the unusual partnership of Alex Ohanian (one of 3 co-founders of Reddit, better than Huffman), and Kevin Rose (Digg founder).

    They bought back the rights and are building it now. It may end up being more popular than reddit.

      It has some flaws like a lot of ai built in, forced ai tldrs you cant turn off, daily leaderboards for top posters/commenters, but I still like it more than reddit’s current form, but thats prob becuase it isnt public yet

        Ah you got the early access for a couple bucks? I’m bummed I missed the window.

        I have a lot of things to say having been in the software, journalism domain and thought heavily about conceptualizing what such a platform may look like for the betterment of society. Jimmy Wales has been trying, too. Was on their discord for a bit but I was a little skeptical of their direction, even if noble.

            Hey sorry, just wondering if it’s still possible to get an invite link to Digg? No worries if not, thanks.
