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.

Its gonna be linked to reddit and theyll pretend its federated to take steam away from federated stuff like bluesky did to mastodon
There seems to be this possessive myth that Mastodon would have been more popular if only it hadn’t been for Bluesky. Nah. It would have been exactly as popular as it currently is. The techies like us would have found it, just like we did, but everyone else would haven’t have used it. Everyone would just still be on Twitter.
I get everyone’s beef with Bluesky, but let’s not pretend that Mastodon isn’t responsible for its own problems.
What I find ironic is that misskey, akkoma and gotosocial all offer more features (reactions, server-defined post length limit, markdown support, more media per post) and a general better user experience than mastodon, but the elephant gets all the attention
