DiggV4, Or How To Quickly Kill A Community

Fuck the new Digg.  I tried it for the past few days, I really tried to like it. 
 
Digg has turned into a RSS reader with top sites getting priority, which is odd because I go to those sites regardless.  I go to digg to hear the little guy's voice, and the comments.  Now I just get fed the sites I normally go to with lamer Digg comments, which DONT work and HAVEN'T been working for the past few days.  
 
It's too connected to the Facebooking, Twittering, MySpacing, and FourBoxing.  Do I really need all that?  I never added a single person on my Digg account from Facebook...I don't want people to know what I did.   Hell, my user name on Digg isn't even KaosAngel.   
 
Man, did Kevin Rose fuck up big on this.  I dunno what he saw aside from money, but he knew this wouldn't work...he had to know giving top blogs top spots would be the dumbest thing to do, considering the average Digg user goes to those sites regardless.
 
Sure, Digg needs money...they got it now.  I am done with Digg, when people whore out to others it's not worth it.  No longer is a community strong.   
 
I, Stephen Colbert, fully endorse Reddit, a site build by the community for the community. 
 
Suck it Kevin Rose.  Enjoy the quick cash you made. 
  
Who else left Digg this weekend?!  

First off all its Digg, was never good. Second of all Digg getting worse because of more social networking functioning, that was the whole point of the site. Third Kevin Rose doesnt control that site so your hate is misplaced.
 
The moral of the story is to use google reader and just cull from all the news sites you already trust.

I hate digg, it's always been full of liberal asspies who take everything waaaay to seriously and have never been outside of their house. I'm glad Kevin Rose is done with Digg, I hope he sells his share and takes his angel investing elsewhere.

I kind of started using reddit.  I still go to digg but not as much anymore, reddit is just more interesting now.

Man, I just visited the site. Never really used digg before, just a visit here and there when I was extremely bored. I knew Kevin Rose had returned after a long time just doing the Diggnation show and he was on Twit.tv talking to Leo Laporte about the changes he had in mind. It sounded interesting. But visiting the site to see links coming from well known websites stinks. I have an RSS reader and that will work just fine. 
 
Reddit and StumbleUpon have worked just fine replacing it.

Reddit FTW.
 
I still watch Diggnation though.  Kevin Rose seems like a cool guy.

i stopped going to digg a year ago. never really missed it.

I never used Digg. Never knew what it was for. Looks like I won't now either.

Nothing ever posted at Digg or Reddit has ever mattered, so I'll stick to my newspaper and said newspaper's website.

He probably doesn't care what someone like you thinks of his website. Just because one idiot kicked up a fuss, doesn't mean the entire internet is going to stop using the website. Get over yourself

Digg has been awful for a long long time.

i abandoned digg a few months back and switched to reddit. it's 100x better than digg ever was.

hi reddit! 

" hi reddit!  "

I just went to reddit, and hot damn... that is a poorly designed website.  
 
Before you accuse me of being some sort of Digg fanboy, I never used that either.

Digg is being ruined by diggs (see what I did there) who are afraid of change, spamming with reddit-stories and comments like "Digg is dead"!
 
The new Digg would stop XKCD from being posted 50 times every monday, wednsday and friday.
 
Anyway, forget about it. Move on.

I switched from Digg to Reddit about 18 months ago. The only thing that kept me around for so long was Diggnation and even that got stale when half the running time is promos for sponsors. Hearing about the fall of Digg all weekend I decided to check it out.
 
Holy. Shit.
 
I hope they made a ton of cash selling out because there is nothing redeeming left on that site. Shame really, they had a good thing going for a few years.

When Digg first launched, it was great for the first year or so. Somewhere around those last few years of High School, it all went to hell, and fast. Haven't been on Digg since.

Ugh, I've seen enough about this on reddit, now I need to see it here too?

I didn't use digg in the past because I don't give a fuck what some random asshole on the internet likes. Everybody games Digg anyway. The new Digg is so that I can get links that my friends like. The idea is to build a community. That might involve demolishing the old community. Either way i still won't use digg. I'll get all my internet links from the people that I follow on twitter.

Eh replied in other thread about this but ill do it again, redditor for over a year and half and i never used digg, i went to it once and was bombarded with ads and never went again. As far as what to do for the newbies just save all the subreddits you might like and peruse those every day. Also digg failing is a somewhat big story and since they are "rivals" reddit is all over it, just like any super popular meme its all over the place for a day or 2 then goes away and reddits back to normal. Enjoy the complimentary bacon, the narwhals and Keanu eating sammiches.

I used to visit Digg purely for entertainment reasons, never for the community aspect of it. I never even bothered to register there and now I'm glad I never did.
