Yeah but old Digg wasn't as good as Reddit in its heyday.
It definitely feels like the internet peaked like 5-10 years ago. Reddit was good, Stackoverflow was tolerable, I didn't use Twitter but I guess that was better too.
By my rough estimate/experience, late 2018 is when enshittification began to really seep into everything both online and offline. Covid was the final nail in the coffin.
A Reddit exodus to Digg would truly be ironic.
Just use Lemmy.
Lemmy has grown quite a lot and it has been easy to replace reddit with for things like tech focused news and discussion. Unfortunately smaller community focused subreddits still don't have a great alternative but with lemmy slowly growing who knows maybe new communities can pop up.
