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.

      I understand how probable things can be, but good lord, I would be so aggravated if people judged me based on my father’s politics

      This is really good to know. Are you aware if this has ever been addressed by them or anyone else ever?
