@lonseidman I've come to have a strong apathy against any mainstream social media that tries to off the idea of something being popular. I have very little faith that anything seen isn't being pushed by SEO bots and if there's any discussion, that's all bots too.
When Digg was resurrected, they should've put the effort into figuring out some kind of a new twist that would promote something that isn't just endless content manipulation to make it appear organically popular.
On implementing such thing I personally see no other options, than Fediverse-like concept that flies under the radar and not seen as worthwhile target for botting.
