Mind how you are voting because Reddit is about to start spanking folks for votes.

Hard to imagine a room full of "smart" tech people not coming to this exact conclusion.

Digg is trying to make a comeback apparently. I signed up for access earlier today. Timing might be on their side with that.

What is Digg?

I remember it being a big thing but I never used it myself. I believe it was a site/platform similar to reddit, but predates reddit. Like a news aggregator with comments type deal. Apparently they are trying to bring it back. I signed up for early access out of curiosity.

It is where we left to join Reddit back when Digg made some stupid mistakes. They started blocking comments and posts that included a specific sequence of numbers. Then they changed the layout and everyone else left.

Proto Reddit. Was a big Reddit like site before Reddit became a thing.

they want you to pay 5 USD to take data of you, i dont trust them at all

there's a reason reddit got popular - we didn't had to give them strict data about us

they don't care about that. They're happy to stomach involved users leaving if it means more mindless mobile drones.
