Digg laid off a significant number of staff and shut down its app, but says it’s not giving up on the startup.

The biggest self own in this is that they are saying LLM bots killed them while they were using LLMs for many of their own functionality.
If digg had written a fediverse compatible app, things could’ve turned out way differently. But they wanted to create a new, disconnected garden and there’s no appetite for that.
This didn’t happen years ago?
It did. They tried a revive which lasted 2 months.
