Digg.com relaunch public beta is live (opens in new tab)

I use to enjoy diggnation, but now every episode is about them claiming not to be alcoholics when they clearly are.

I loved digg too.

So weird it’s HOD. Scaling tech much easier with modern infra.

Still hoping hacker news front pages my Rick and Morty inter-dimensional cable inspired news site someday.

If celebrities can hawk rug pull crypto coins, I seriously doubt there will be any legal ramifications for him.

That’s the thing with these social network nostalgia projects. People don’t want to admit that the we have changed. I remember getting quite excited by and later disillusioned by BlueSky. As good-intentioned as people claim to be, they all bring their learned behaviours with them when they set up camp. All these new places do is end up being another venue for people to be dicks to one-another. The massive social deprogramming we have to do is going to be much slower and much more complex than simply building a platform with ‘better mechanics’ or whatever, and I doubt it’s going to happen any time soon if at all.
