Digg launches its new Reddit rival to the public | TechCrunch

Digg, a reboot of an earlier social news site, is now relaunching as a Reddit competitor focused on communities.

Lots of venture capital money behind it. I wonder how quickly the enshitification will begin.

    While AI obviously is not perfect and is flawed in many ways, having AI sift through the torrent of comments and then flag problematic submissions for human review is likely going to be extremely effective with minimal false positives. Though I do say this as a person whose Reddit account is currently banned for 3 days for “inciting violence” because of a knife-based joke.

      I got banned from reddit last week for “threatening violence” basically because my comment contained the word “die.” It wasn’t a verb.

      Reddit is super aggressive with this shit now. If you say “Don’t drink bleach, that would kill you.” Their AI bullshit just sees “kill you” and bans you for threats.

      Site is fucking useless, don’t even bother at this point. It’s mostly robots talking to other robots at this point anyway.

        Meh. I got banned just for saying something about stabbing Donald Trump in the neck and watching him bleed out before alerting the staff of the Urgent Care I was waiting all day in. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

      Ai flagging for human review is likely the best option.

      The problem is that the humans reviewing things are biased, assholes with no sense of humor.

      Ah I see someone else suffering the same shit as myself. Inciting violence for comparatives is what happened to me. No, neither side should celebrate violence. Human life is invaluable.
