Nah, Kevin Rose reacquired Digg in March.

that’s like 5 years ago right?

/sarcasm, sorry I’m just being an ass

The domain was owned by a company that was using it for Gawker-like blog spam for several years, but Rose just bought the domain back 2 months ago and they’re getting ready to relaunch.

That AI would make no difference, as there’s no content to moderate in the first place.

simplejack@lemmy.world on 16 Jun 14:23 collapse

It hasn’t launched yet

Olap@lemmy.world on 16 Jun 14:05 next collapse

Lolz, this is sure to endear users

Buffalox@lemmy.world on 16 Jun 14:17 next collapse

Nice! AI to moderate bots, finally a site that doesn’t require any human interaction at all. 🤣 🤡

Jesus Christ. when will these fucks learn they’re overcomplicating moderation…

yesman@lemmy.world on 16 Jun 15:21 next collapse

Capitalists are so fucking innovative that they’re trying to replace unpaid human labor with robots that are worse and cost money.

I was a mod on reddit for a couple larger subs. I would like AI to get rid of the really awful shit people would send us over modmail.

Ledericas@lemm.ee on 17 Jun 07:43 collapse

reddit

reddit AI took over moderation at the beginning of the year, massive amount purges, and then they upped thier shadownban AI moderation recently.

FaceDeer@fedia.io on 16 Jun 16:13 collapse

And next community over there's yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com, who continuously illustrate the capricious and hateful nature of many human moderators.

I say give AI a chance at it and see what happens. If it works, great. If it doesn't, people will just go elsewhere.

I’m with you. I’m curious how it’ll go.
