• Ask HN: Does anyone know of a general news site akin to Hacker News?

  Most likely, this is what Digg's comeback is going to be: https://reboot.digg.com. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What will the web look like in 5 years with AI bots becoming widespread?

  I miss StumbleUpon :). Did you see that Digg is also about to make a comeback? I joined their group and it's been fun to see how they are thinking through it -> https://reboot.digg.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• The Reddit moderators who coordinate many celebrity AMAs will no longer do so

  They are referring to digg who set up most AMA. Source: about 3 years ago

• Reddit CEO Steve Huffman is fighting a losing battle against the site's moderators

  Or is it a success because Reddit Inc has shown its hand of not giving a shit about your average user and this site will bleed users as they, especially power users who actually post and moderate and build the communities in the first place flee to places where their countless hours of unpaid labor are appreciated (like lemmy, kbin, mastodon), and good old reddit becomes a ghost town like digg which is apparently...

• What did the Reddit blackouts actually accomplish?

  It's the great unraveling. Communities are torn asunder. It's could very well be the first step of Reddits fall. Or reddit will just look and feel very different afterwards. A husk of an aggregator. Go to digg.com right now to see what reddit might be. Source: about 3 years ago

• Tell HN: Reddit now demands to know why you won't use their app

  When the app only shows posts that are more than 10 hours old even when sorting by "hot" and shoving down the algorithmic feed on the app's home page, how are people still using the app? Lately I've only been visiting a few subs that I'm interested in and keeping them open in safari with ublock; it's been a far better experience. This has drastically cut my reddit time now and if I do want to mindlessly scroll, I... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Cloudflare Starts Blocking Pirate Sites for UK Users

  Is the reddit equivalent of xcancel/nitter (i.e., redlib https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib) also blocked? Presumably if the instance is hosted outside the UK it would work since I think it effectively proxies your requests. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
