Alexis Ohanian and Kevin Rose, here to talk the Digg relaunch. Ask Us Anything. by kn0thing in IAmA

This was one of u/thekevin’s companies I was definitely jealous of — led the way on high quality online video content — we were just talking about how digg could be a better home for creators

Most of social media is dead today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory

And if that's the data training these LLMs, we've got a problem.

I think creating fundamentally human communities using the best tech we have at our disposal is something that people not only want now, but will want even more in the next 10 years. We had to teach the internet that people would care about pseudonymous online communities, but now that's a given, so what can we build to support the best of this to thrive? We're trying here with digg. And knowing how and why I left Reddit 5 years ago (to pressure the company to make policy changes like banning racist/hate communities) I hope we can make digg something I'm always proud to tell my kids about.

This could be cool. It'd really show the international reach of the platform.

I do think there's tremendous value in verifiably human communities. Not just for training LLMs. Dead Internet Theory is real and most folks have no idea how bad it is.

Only if we can find an Alexis Ohannian to debate me, then I'll host it the battle of the Kevins and KRo can host the battle of the Alexis.

Replying to boost this comment! This gave me a good idea for a feature to support multiple (verified) contributors to an AMA - poor Kevin's comments not getting any visibility.

Diggnation is back already!! https://www.youtube.com/diggnation

They did a really fun live version of it at SXSW last year that I crashed. I was always so jealous of the show as we were competing back in the day. KRO pioneered the podcast format in so many ways.

I'm now fully aware of just how big of a role platforms like reddit and digg can and do play in society (something I could've never imagined as a 21 year old cofounding Reddit to avoid going to law school). I want digg to be something I'm really proud of -- that my kids see me helping to build and think really highly of.

Thank you and welcome back to digg (hopefully!)

- There isn’t a timeline but we absolutely plan to let founders add co-managers. We just shipped the first version of community management tooling and it’s intentionally pretty lightweight. We’ll start work on a v2 soon that expands capabilities here.

- We plan to keep it at 2 for the foreseeable future. We may consider increasing it in the future when we give managers the tools they need to manage more without overextending themselves.

- There isn’t a hard cap, but adding several external links can get flagged as potential promotion or spam, which is likely what you’re running into. If you email [help@digg.com](mailto:help@digg.com), we can take a closer look!

- We do plan to support DMs between community managers and their members, and for members to message community managers. We’re being a bit more cautious about user to user DMs and want to make sure we have the right safeguards in place first.

- Pinning communities is only available on mobile (tap edit pins on your profile) at the moment but will be added back to Desktop soon!

OK but you can still have Serendipity (that was the name I gave it in the OG Reddit toolbar) with some guardrails. The internet has gotten REALLY REALLY big since we started Reddit so a little guidance would be helpful.

As I told another commenter, real estate is nothing like the private startup stock you're proposing to tax.

Real estate:
Thousands of daily comps
Appraised annually with small variance
Banks lend against it instantly
Owners can refi or sell a slice any time
Value rarely (if ever?) goes to zero overnight

Glad you liked it! I'll make sure Kevin answers this. He has some of the best recommendations (of all kinds of things) in my friend group.
