Digg Relaunches with AI-Powered Tools, Led by Founders of Digg and Reddit

Kevin Rose and Alexis Ohanian aim to revive Digg as a community-driven platform, leveraging AI to enhance moderation and user experience.

Digg, once a leading social news aggregator, has been relaunched by its founder Kevin Rose and Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian after acquiring the brand and assets from its previous owner.
The new Digg aims to recreate the vibrant, community-first ethos of its early years while addressing modern challenges in content moderation and user engagement through AI tools.
AI will play a key role in automating moderation tasks, enhancing community management, and enabling creative features tailored to specific user groups or micro-communities.
The platform will prioritize fostering meaningful interactions and rewarding quality contributions while avoiding metrics like follower counts that incentivize unhealthy competition.
Digg's relaunch begins with a prototype featuring basic functionality, with plans to iteratively introduce new features and tools over the coming months based on user feedback.
