Digg’s officially launched now for about a month and it’s… really underwhelming.

The “Most Dugg” posts by upvotes as of this post:

+110, +107, +89, +86, +84, +84, +79, +79 (roughly in the last 24 hours)

As compared to Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin as seen on Lemmy.world (Top in last 24 hours):

+1.22k, +952, +855, +751, +669, +646, +620, +612

That’s really poor from Digg honestly.

    The problem was that they launched with barely any mod or curation tools, and haven’t really added anything since. Rimu, just one guy, should not be having a better development cycle than something like Digg after launch - especially when most of the things they need to add are pretty basic currently.

      Yeah, I suppose we shouldn’t be too shocked though, Kevin Rose has been around SV long enough, I’m sure he could muster up a bit more, the site doesn’t even seem to have a vision really. I suspect it will just be datamined or used as some experiment/testing ground.
