- thx-2718 3y agoYet Digg.com for whatever reason still exists. I wonder how these old websites that seemingly no one uses still churn out money?
- sebzim4500 3y agoThe google trends graph is the worst I've ever seen https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=digg&hl=en https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=digg&hl=... EDIT: Note that it's a common slang word in Norwegian, hence why it still appears as a search term there
- thx-2718 3y agoDid you try going there? Inexplicably it's worse than I could have imagined. I found one thread with 9 comments. In the popular section. And it devolved into someone calling another an 'asshole'.

- gnoop 3y agoThere most likely won't be. Reddit is Usenet 2.0. With Usenet, it was a diaspora. Sure, we had some sites like Slashdot that started in 1997 but even that was still targeting link aggregation focused discussions on tech related topics and there might only be a handful a day at times. The exodus from Usenet was to internet forums. The exodus from Reddit seems to be to disperse among a combination of other forums, some Reddit-like sites like Tildes and Lemmy, and Discord. Once we go through that for a while, we'll maybe have another consolidation again once a new round of companies give it a go. At least that's my hypothesis.
