I got an email with an invitation to join a site that I used to follow back in the early 2010’s(?). It was basically a news aggregator where user shares and engagement would boost articles to the top of the site. Anyway, it’s back and invite only. Now it is a pseudo-reddit clone. From what I can see there seem to be fewer users on there than here. It would be a shame if the lot of us got on there and started shaping the narrative…
It seems like all of the “subreddits” are predetermined for now?
There is a leaderboard system that boosts the users who post the most “dugg” articles, comments and are early on “dugg” articles. Idk what any of this means.
The other issue is that it appears they use bots to moderate the community.
You’re probably right about it being a corporate poster board but it might be worth agitating to see how the site reacts.
Edit: if they do act with censorship it could create a vacuum situation in which you could funnel users over here.
