Digg was the old Reddit before Reddit was Reddit. Reddit still existed, but Digg was bigger and more popular. It operated in a similar fashion with upvotes/downvotes on submissions and comments but didn't have user-created categories like subreddits, only pre-defined ones. There was a massive redesign that went down about 2010 or around then ...
Jay Adelson and Kevin Rose were onto something when they started Digg in 2004. It filled a need for people to express themselves, but it was soon apparent that people were gaming the system to get upvotes. The more they tried to fix it, the more screwed up it got.
Digg was primarily about discovering and sharing content. Reddit has a different culture. It is all about the comments and the community, links are often just a pretext for a discussion. On Digg you never saw people engage in smart, involved debates, take time to write entire essays, share life stories, ask for advice, or buy each other pizza.
Feb 24, 2011 · Waiting for the reddit hivemind to dump on it because it has the name "Digg". >.>; So I've just been comparing it to eztv. The latest entry from eztv found by BTDigg is Being.Human.US.S01E06.It.Takes.Two.ao.Make.a.Thing.Go.Wrong.HDTV.XviD-FQM.avi which was posted 2 days ago.
Nov 17, 2022 · OP • 2 yr. ago. All right, I asked my friends to attempt to connect to btdig.com, and it seems that the redirect is based on IP filtering system. European IPs, as well as US ones, seems to get hit with a redirect. Tho not all of them are affected, the issue, so far, seems to be largely in the IP you use to connect. activoice.
The old Digg was akin to Reddit - user submitted content that made it to the front page through up and down votes. Lots of comments New Digg is a site where stories are curated by the team who also select the pix and write the headlines, intro and tag line. So they didn't fix the old things, they just built a new site atop the old domain name.
Jan 6, 2012 · The whole Digg vs. Reddit war was fun in its heyday but that battle faded into obscurity when Digg imploded from version 4 and Reddit scaled to new heights. Honestly, if Digg's latest iteration didn't make their most altruistic and important user MrBabyMan (the submitter of this reddit post) fundamentally powerless then maybe Digg wouldn't have fallen so quickly.
The new Digg is a complete opposite of what old Digg was, but the image of the new Digg, for many, is still the old Digg. How do you guys plan on changing this image in people's mind? You guys are doing great work with the content curation and it hurts me to see people still have this misconception and misunderstanding of the new Digg.
May 18, 2022 · It's Digg's only hit, although he smashes the ball twice more, once at the LF, once at the SS. Could easily be 4-for-5. Career, after 49 games: 5 AB, 1 hit, 2 TB, 2 RS (one unofficially). I like to think there's a bunch of badly socialized teens in the bleachers, wearing Digg headbands and cheap aviator shades, cheering for him.
Aug 28, 2013 · Digg V.4 happened and it was just the catalysis. It was a perfect storm of Bored Users + Stagnating Service + The Realization That Someone Is Doing It Better. For a long time, Digg (from the perspective of Digg users) was a powerhouse, and Reddit was that ugly and poorly formatted place where nerds go to be all elitist.
