Ok for someone that came late to the party - what is digg?

"Humancentric technology at the edge" - love this in my sci-fi books but what does it do?

I think that social media has been a massive experiment where we asked, what if we let capital interests subvert our desire for community to get us to watch ads? And we have learned that it’s just not a good idea. I think perhaps Digg was one of the better ones but I solemnly wish social media was mostly illegal, especially advertising based, for profit sites.

I think hacker news manages to be ok since it doesn’t rely on advertising which makes it much more palatable.

A community driven link aggregator site. Think of a cross between Reddit and a forum. It was one of the biggest sites/communities in the 2000s.
