Kevin Rose officially relaunching Digg.com
-
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.
-
Kevin Rose is a huge turd
-
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.
-
He looks like one.
-
I joined Reddit originally because Digg fuckin' sucked lol
-
Damn he’s old….
…..looks in mirror…..
Damn he’s old too……
-
Fool me thrice...
-
Many such cases
-
Reddit used to be good, now its just another app nag whore.
-
Ok......it kind of seems like your post had the intention of staying on topic, but then did a HARD pivot over to an entirely different topic, and tried to shoehorn it into this topic. But it didn't work. If I showed someone your post, and didn't give them context, nobody would guess you were talking about Kevin Rose relaunching digg.
-
Right? I watched him on TechTV as a kid, but then he turned into a douchey tech-bro and I haven't kept up - and now he looks like an old man!
