I mean, I’m not about to leave Lemmy, this place scratches an itch that only old Reddit and Digg gave me. But competition for the steaming greedy shitpile that Reddit’s become is welcome to me, better to keep them on their toes after their awful anti-user antics.
Lemmy has that “old-school forum” feel, except all the forums can talk to each other.
I’ll go to whatever is the better experience for healthy online communities. Lemmy scratches an itch now, but there is definitely room for improvement.
It’s still hard for small niche community to gain traction here, the mod tools don’t scale for beans, and onboarding into an instance is still a big barrier for too many people.
It’s being relaunched by one of the founders of reddit, so…
We met after dark in a sketchy secluded place somewhat fearful of discovery. Once assembled, we burnt effigies and took blood oaths to seal our pact to never return to Digg.
that one time that digg wanted to reinvent itself backfired terribly, but i guess this time they don’t have much to lose
So… Lemmy Lite™?
relaunching the early Reddit rival with a focus on “humanity and connection” they hope will be boosted by the use of artificial intelligence.
🤔
If Digg relaunches as a federated service that’d be cool. Like a decentralized RSS reader or something.
AI handles moderation so that data-supplying drones can focus on the ingestible banter
