Ask HN: What do you think of the new Digg?

4•LorenDB•5h ago
I was invited to the beta the other day. I actually never used the old Digg, but the new Digg seems pretty nice. Almost like Reddit without the toxic people.

Do others have experience with the new Digg? What are your thoughts?

- Classic centralized social media with no story around decentralization or federation

- First-class experience only via walled and gated Google Play and Apple Appstore. They brand as "human first" but it's unclear if it will even be available/supported outside of human-hostile platforms. Looks pretty "corporate first".

- No public API

- No source

- External presence exclusively on: Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, Tiktok

- https://docs.digg.com/privacy

- https://docs.digg.com/terms

Hard pass. The only possibly attractive thing would be the name.

Interesting, I wasn’t aware Kevin Rose bought it back and teamed up with Alexis Ohanian.

The big question will be if they can avoid the mistakes that were made the first time around, which was putting the investors over the community.

In terms of toxic people, they are nearly always missing when a site is small, especially in a private beta. It’s when a site gets large enough to have the masses there that they almost universally get filled with toxic people. The best thing for the long-term health of any forum is to not get too big.
