Digg is about to be rebooted. Thoughts? (reboot.digg.com)

Not much info yet, but I grew up on Digg, so I’m cautiously optimistic. Probably no Fediverse support, but honestly, any Reddit alternative is a win. Really hoping for real API access and third-party apps.

Yes, and no English language site other than 4chan has been a larger part of early English language internet culture than ebaumsworld. So many things started there.

that one must have collapsed quite thoroughly. i havent seen even a mention to it before now

Seriously? It's foundational to the history of the internet. If an image macro format, what the kids call memes, didn't start on /b/ it started on ebaumsworld.

Let's not forget Something Awful and YTMND now. Should reboot those too. Maybe assemble them all together like Vultron or something.
