<![CDATA[Some may find this amusing and interesting: Digg doesn't seem to be as active as the Fediverse.]]>Digg’s officially launched now for about a month and it’s… really underwhelming.

The “Most Dugg” posts by upvotes as of this post:

+110, +107, +89, +86, +84, +84, +79, +79 (roughly in the last 24 hours)

As compared to Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin as seen on Lemmy.world (Top in last 24 hours):

+1.22k, +952, +855, +751, +669, +646, +620, +612

That’s really poor from Digg honestly.

It has plenty of competition with PieFed and Mbin. Also in a way, every instance is competing with the others. Especially when talking about enshitification, the competition of instances is a big deal. Even if the software goes bad, good instances can just stay on the old good version, and fork it together.

Things take time to build and they are still in beta. Lemmy is way more active and settled than when I first joined (hell I originally joined kbin instead). It’s good to have competition. I am active on both and I believe they will have different demographics.

It would be like signing up for a fediverse instance, which uses closed source software, and it’s just one guy running the service for a small amount of people.

I don’t know who runs Lemmy.world, but at no point do I think the admins are targeting me, to read through my inbox. My judgement says that’s not what the admins are doing with their time.

But this myspace clone had 300ish registered members on a single centralized closed source platform being run and created by one guy with zero oversight. I can’t say that he created the service specifically to spy on people, but it certainly doesn’t pass the sniff test.

You do realize this is true of any service, yes? Unless there is 1:1 end-to-end encryption, perhaps. Even there, unless you’re pasting in encrypted data into the app, the app can potentially send your unencrypted data somewhere.

They haven’t attracted hardly anyone back. So they did have a potential jumpstart with previous users that they have failed to energize and capture.

Rimu, just one guy, should not be having a better development cycle than something like Digg after launch - especially when most of the things they need to add are pretty basic currently.

I realize the thing that changed most was perhaps my relationship and views on technology, I’m not excited about where any of it is going to be honest, where as when the first digg came around I was very optimistic that the web was going to turn the world into a utopia lmao.
