Broken axle? The whole cart has caught fire, the horses have fallen over dead, and the settlers have gone elsewhere. Digg v4 is a ghost town.

- ronnoch 16y agoReddit's logo today has the alien carrying a shovel... almost as if they're going to "bury" Digg.
- zacharypinter 16y agoThe tooltip for the logo (I think it's one of the gold addons) says "pardon our construction: we're digging around for new logos this week"
- AgentConundrum 16y ago(I think it's one of the gold addons) It was one of the gold addons, but reddit is using the gold subscriptions as sort of like buying early access to beta features, rather than as a set of purchased features. When new features are built, gold members get first access to them, then when they're solid / when a new batch of new features comes in, the old gold stuff goes public and gold members get access to the latest features first, ad infinitum. The logo title text was rolled out to public users last week, when reddit introduced a feature to gold members allowing them to have new comments added since their last visit to the page flagged as such.
- seanalltogether 16y agoIt's descended into mob mentality. Everyone just wants to watch it burn. I'm sure they'll have a sizeable chunk of readers left by the end of the week, but as for contributors and discussions, it might as well be a ghost town.

- trustfundbaby 16y agoI think its a bit early to be writing obituaries. This is a problem, but Kevin is attentive to his users and I'm sure they'll get through it ... PS: Left digg a 2 years ago now, but I like their new design better than the last.
