Me, a Lemmy instance admin, looking at the new Digg

Also applies to Kamunity or whatever centralized commercial platform that is being touted as an alternative to Reddit.

New Digg is completely SFW

They dug their own grave.

This may be a shocker, but some people just don't want NSFW in their feeds.

That's true, there's enough porn and shock content found elsewhere.

Fark -> Digg -> Reddit -> Lemmy

I can’t imagine returning to Digg no matter how much of a reboot it is.

No /. love? Though I guess it's probably the same reasons many bounce off feddi ATM. It was always a bit more trek/tech-ie.

Replace Digg with Imgur and you have my progression over the years.

I'd heard of Digg, but never really took notice of it until it suddenly collapsed. Now a former Reddit cofounder and a former Digg founder are revitalizing Digg? No thanks. I'll continue to avoid that site.

What does Digg offer anyone that the Forumverse doesn't?

Corporate overlords

Exactly!

Active users. Lemmy seems a bit dead after the great Reddit escape calmed down.

Maybe if Reddit screws up a couple of more times more people start using Lemmy. I think it was the same with Mastodon before as well.

Name recognition.

If only Lemmy's user interface wasn't so clunky.

Which user interface? I have several. It depends upon which app you're using.
