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 honestly haven't even gone to look at it yet. I'm totally satisfied with Lemmy, why bother?

    Because if something exists in a vacuum, without challenge, then theres no motivation for betterment and no repercussions for enshitification.

    Are you just suggesting Lemmy needs competition? It has plenty of competition with PieFed and Mbin. Also in a way, every instance is competing with the others. Especially when talking about enshitification, the competition of instances is a big deal. Even if the software goes bad, good instances can just stay on the old good version, and fork it together.
