Fark -> Digg -> Reddit -> Lemmy

I can’t imagine returning to Digg no matter how much of a reboot it is.

No /. love? Though I guess it's probably the same reasons many bounce off feddi ATM. It was always a bit more trek/tech-ie.

Replace Digg with Imgur and you have my progression over the years.

I'd heard of Digg, but never really took notice of it until it suddenly collapsed. Now a former Reddit cofounder and a former Digg founder are revitalizing Digg? No thanks. I'll continue to avoid that site.
