MODERATORS
relaunching the early Reddit rival with a focus on “humanity and connection” they hope will be boosted by the use of artificial intelligence.
🤔
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.
We need more people on the fediverse, not yet another corporation compromised by fascists
They aren't mutually exclusive options.
Nothing is stopping some big corp from spinning up their own Fediverse service.
See Gmail as an example.
Lemmy has that "old-school forum" feel, except all the forums can talk to each other.
true except the ones that can't
Technicalities aside, of course. It's just the general feel, you know?
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...
…simulated with AI and monetised on the blockchain
You weren't kidding.
Digg’s new leaders say they want to use artificial intelligence to “handle the grunt work” of running a social media site while allowing humans to focus on building meaningful online communities.
I know they are talking about moderation. But it's hard to see them not pushing AI out into other areas of their ecosystem. Especially when they will be struggling for users from the start, and thus they will struggle for content.
Built in, pre-launch enshittification. Novel.
So... Lemmy Lite™?
Kevin Rose has always given me young tech sociopath vibes.
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.
If Digg relaunches as a federated service that’d be cool. Like a decentralized RSS reader or something.
With AI?
that one time that digg wanted to reinvent itself backfired terribly, but i guess this time they don't have much to lose
oh good, useless marketing platitudes. surely that will rouse up interest
I still get weekly email digests from Digg. Never bothered to unsubscribe because I kept expecting them to just collapse.
