Yeah it was a huge event, felt like a giant online protest, and from my perspective it was the beginning of the end for Digg, and signaled it's decline.

I was really active Digg user and later HackertNews when it was really about hacking and not startups bs.

I was on digg as well as reddit. I always liked reddit a lot better and was always baffled as to why digg was so much more popular. Reddit always felt more diverse (in topics) and organic (user driven) to me. I guess others had a different view.

Sadly, no one no one seems to remember kuro5hin. Barely even me. It had its moments though.

I was active on the snopes message board before Reddit. Snopes went all to hell right around the time I switched. Now the message boards are gone and the site itself is mostly the owner asking for money.

I joined Digg sometime around 2008 when the first videos of those crazy Russians climbing giant cranes first hit the web. I was over the moon with Digg but around 2010 one of my college roommates started yammering about this site Reddit and how much better it was. I don't think I actually visited Reddit until 2011, and even then I lurked for a year before I even made an account and started commenting on things. But the downfall of Digg and rise of Reddit was swift, and back then when Aaron was alive it really was a great site.

I used digg a fair amount before the v4 revamp

I even went to Diggnation Live, here in London.

I used it a little bit, not extensively. I watched Diggnation with Kevin and Alex though semi-regularly, as I used to watch TechTV prior to that.

I was a member for promoting my blogs

Omg I loved Digg so much. Watched diggnation every single week too, via my softmodded original Xbox with navi x. I was so mad when they sold out lol at the time I had a little tech blog and I was talking so much shit about the buyout that someone from the new team personally messaged me to call me out on my bullshit 😂 it took me forever to figure out reddit when I finally made the switch and I never really felt at home over there. Lemmy feels much better

EDIT: Also, this song will forever live in my heart https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XLLRsn_nr6s

My history would be: BBSs>various forums>Slashdot>SomethingAwful>Digg>reddit>StumbleUpon>4chan>HackerNews>voat.co>Lemmy

I wasn't a heavy Digg user, but it was fun.

I was on Digg but never much more than a super casual lurker. Like maybe hitting it up at work a few times a month. I was still on USENET most of the time so there wasn't much of a need.

Haven't a clue what Digg and the other one are. I've just found Sync.

I was using Stumbleupon back in Digg's day

Yo

What is Digg?
