Not much info yet, but I grew up on Digg, so I’m cautiously optimistic. Probably no Fediverse support, but honestly, any Reddit alternative is a win. Really hoping for real API access and third-party apps.

80% chance is going to be a crypto scam. 20% chance it’s going to be a right wing cespool
Rose not listening to users is what killed he platform before, I seriously doubt he has gotten over that ego.
I’m not going to go back to a closed-source centralized platform
But maybe this time the hot stove won’t burn me if I touched it?
Sounds great in theory but proprietary/corpo owned websites don’t matter one bit to me anymore.
Yeah sure, this time the giant company won’t enshittify.
Lemmy exists now. We don’t need another corporation.
Nah, it’s gonna be ass, they haven’t even launched and they are talking about AI. Totally tone deaf.
I used to be on digg. Fuck digg, let’s ddos these cunts. Then cook some reddit datacenters.
I was looking forward to it, but then I got here, and find that it suits me.
Its gonna be linked to reddit and theyll pretend its federated to take steam away from federated stuff like bluesky did to mastodon
There seems to be this possessive myth that Mastodon would have been more popular if only it hadn’t been for Bluesky. Nah. It would have been exactly as popular as it currently is. The techies like us would have found it, just like we did, but everyone else would haven’t have used it. Everyone would just still be on Twitter.
I get everyone’s beef with Bluesky, but let’s not pretend that Mastodon isn’t responsible for its own problems.
What I find ironic is that misskey, akkoma and gotosocial all offer more features (reactions, server-defined post length limit, markdown support, more media per post) and a general better user experience than mastodon, but the elephant gets all the attention
I am going back to /.
Not interested in what will most likely just be yet another right-wing bullshit platform.
Dont care unless something significant happens
I’m rooting for them simply because I want to see Reddit and them fight. I’m not going to be switching, because I’m basically done with centralized ultracapitalist bullshit for personal use.
100% this. Why would I go back to another centralized corpo line must go up service that will inevitably enshittify when we got lemmy right here?
I could like Digg if it was federated. But I bet it won’t.
Preach!
Its being recorded by Reddit cofounder Alexis ohanian. I don’t think they’ll fight lol
He has nothing to lose by competing. He owns a stake in Reddit, and he’s rebooting a competitor. He wins either way, and striking out on his own has a better chance of making him more money than relying on his stake.
If he fails and Reddit “wins,” he still has his stake to fall back upon.
Yeah the chasing profit is what ultimately dooms public forums.
And pretty much everything else as well.
US americans trying to cash in on discontent with buzzwords like AI and trying to steal the thunder of actual worthy alternatives like lemmy. The fact Ohanian is part of the founders immediately places it into the shit tier bucket for me.
You’re right. An even shittier reddit that failed due to extreme greed before? What’s the point?
Lemmy has thunder?
Yes. It’s an iOS client. 😏
And Android*
User on both platforms checking in, it’s great!
The app I am using to write this comment is called Thunder. So thats one thing we’ve got.
