Digg:

It had potential, but after becoming an ai news aggregator now there's none.

Lemmy:

Low engagement / kinda dead. Also, I have heard that the growth is slowing down(somebody pls provide a citation for this).

Besides that, it's pretty much reddit, for better or for worse.

9gag:

I just made a post there, my first impressions are not good. Got insulted and my post got removed. Now, that might have something to do with me not understanding how the website works, but only time will tell. I will spend more time there to see if it's worth anything.

Don't compare numbers with sites like reddit. The quality of engagement is really good on lemmy. You can talk to real humans here.

    I hear this a lot with no explanation concerning why they feel so confident. I'm not saying your wrong, but I am saying you're speaking about things that aren't definitive.

    I know it subjectively after interacting on lemmy / piefed.

    The philosophy behind the fediverse tends to attract a chill crowd that wants to just discuss and pass time without an agenda—like selling products or karma farming. It also keeps bots at a minimum.

    this is an important observation. lemmy users are pretty damn protective of our signature drive-by commentary and federation makes it easier to enforce "small world graph" etiquette.

    holistically, I have never seen any situations where federation, on net, did not make things objectively better.
