I signed up for the digg relaunch with the hope it can kill Reddit off for good.
I wish lemmy could do it, and the fediverse will always be there for the people who are willing to put in the tiny extra effort. But I think it’ll take something centralized and easy to understand for the average person who doesn’t care about that stuff to really make a dent and start an exodus.
r$ddit will still exist for at least another 80 years bc there’s always the chance someone will be like: “what was the name of that place I had that conversation on once…? let’s see if it’s still there…”
I would like Reddit to be around forever because of all the good answers from people over the years for different issues, but that’s already been heavily damaged by mods, admins and people using bots to turn all their old comments to gibberish. I hate that actually valuable information is being lost because of ego and greed.
I think it was called digg?
Edit: I mean this as a glib ignorance of reddit and wanted to look it up for the nostalgia, but holy shit they’re relaunching digg!!!

Not lost. Many have old database replicas for offline queries, including me.
Reddit is new school shit. There were many iterations.
not again no
Won’t this be the third digg relaunch?
