The long of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digg

The short of it: It was a version of reddit before reddit. The owners restructured the site for Digg v4, and when they did, they broke it pretty bad. The users all left and went to reddit, myself included.

It looks like Digg is coming back with Kevin Rose in the driver's seat again, but it might be focused on AI generated articles and whatnot. If that's the case, I'm not interested.
