Digg’s officially launched now for about a month and it’s… really underwhelming.
The “Most Dugg” posts by upvotes as of this post:
+110, +107, +89, +86, +84, +84, +79, +79 (roughly in the last 24 hours)
As compared to Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin as seen on Lemmy.world (Top in last 24 hours):
+1.22k, +952, +855, +751, +669, +646, +620, +612
That’s really poor from Digg honestly.
I think the hype is propped up by money and astroturfing, I don’t expect it will last
Keeping in mind that I didn’t use Digg much back in the day, I don’t really understand the idea of re-launching a service that fell out of use in the first place.
Or if MySpace (etc) was to relaunch with modern features, could it expect to succeed out of nostalgia, or something…?
I’m surprised they’re not just lying on their metrics and vote counts tbh
