The biggest self own in this is that they are saying LLM bots killed them while they were using LLMs for many of their own functionality.
This didn’t happen years ago?
It did. They tried a revive which lasted 2 months.
If digg had written a fediverse compatible app, things could’ve turned out way differently. But they wanted to create a new, disconnected garden and there’s no appetite for that.
Well, that didn’t last long.
Digg is still alive?!
I forgot digg existed still
