Look everybody wants to shit all over this, and for good measure.
But we can't all be like "Kendrick Lamar's Superbowl performance was a deep critique on the problems in America and the resurgence of a racial divide in America!" that literally featured Serena Williams crip walking, and turn around and act like she has zero influence on her husband Alexis Ohanian, his politics, or his understanding of where America is at.

Probably wouldn't get me to leave Lemmy, but I wouldn't mind another competitor to Reddit.

Everyone acts like Alexis Ohanian is an untrustworthy piece of shit because he was a reddit founder.
He is married to Serena Williams. Williams has been a focal point of hate for the right wing for decades. Literally years of unnecessary hate and derision on her because she didn'f fit stereotypical beauty guidelines and is a badass tennis player. She also literally has first hand experience of having her medical issues ignored by doctors, which happens at a far greater rate for black women.
Williams may be rich, but she was never obscene rich, and she got where she was squarely off her real talents. She also was part of a Superbowl show which made a point to critique where America is at and where it is headed. A superbowl show that made right wingers collectively melt down.
I'm saying people are acting like she, a black woman who has experienced direct adversity from the right-wing, has no impact on how Ohanian conducts himself or how he approaches life, and that we should expect the same-old, same-old techbro bullshit from him. I just don't think that's the case after they've been married so long.

No thanks, people hop from centralized platform to centralized platform thinking things will be different.
Consolidated power, especially when fully captured by market forces, will always enshitify, the only out is federation.

So the Digg founder is attacking her?

No... Lemmy users and internet people in general are attacking this reformation of Digg acting like Alexis Ohanian continues to be a piece of shit.
I have a hard time thinking that after a long-term relationship with Serena Williams that Ohanian is so out of touch and unable to produce something good. Like I said I am cautiously optimistic

Alexis Ohanian is an untrustworthy piece of shit because he’s a crypto scam promoter.

Can't watch the video right now, what does Ohanian have to do with New Digg?

He is a cofounder of this new Digg. He is involved with buying the site along with Kevin Rose.

Ohanian just joined alongside Project Liberty (no relation to the weirdo right-wing grift with the same name, from what I can tell) to help buy out TikTok.
His actions seem to be mostly in line with those in favor of consumers. I, too, am cautiously optimistic.

Strange, are people really arguing that? Back in 2020 Alexis Ohanian resigned from the board of Reddit and asked for his seat to be replaced with a black candidate. Say what you want about the guy but he doesn't seem that out of touch with America's racial issues.

I don't have any issues with the guy but IMO the Digg thing may end up going nowhere if they're really planning on relying on AI for moderation, just seems like like a bad idea overall

See all these names mean nothing to me, so I'm still not following. Are you saying Digg is bad and reddit is good?

Kevin Rose and Alexis Ohanian bought Digg together. They are relaunching it together. I am saying people are attacking the new Digg without considering that maybe, just maybe, Ohanian could be a good steward of a new social media site. I am willing to wait and see, I think he could potentially do good works in this space

Yeah, just don't got time to watch the video this post is for. First time hearing these names. And hadn't heard anybody hating on it.
