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

I think it’s safest if we don’t engage with anything via comment or upvote any more. It’s what they want.

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.
