Digg is coming back from the dead, will use AI to ease the work of moderators | Infinium-tech

Older of you remember Digg – a social link sharing site. For the small among you, it was the “front page of the Internet”, before the Redit captured the Crown. After a devastating reading in 2010, Diggi fell barely and never really recover – but now it is coming back.

Kevin Rose, the original founder of Dig, and Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of the Reddit, have revived the social platform with a new vision “Discovery and the real community spirit, which made the initial web a fun and exciting place.”

After the 2010 redesign, Dig took a bottom of a bottom and in 2012 it was divided and sold into three parts. It has changed hands several times before – so why has Rose decided to return Dig and revive it now?

“Recently we have hit a divisive point, where AI can become an auxiliary co-pilot for users and intermediaries, not replace human conversation, but can increase it, allowing users to excavate deeply, while at the same time, it is called removing a lot of repetition burden for community modrators.

The idea is that AI will work heavy raise when it talks about spam filtering and removal of toxic materials, while humans can focus on finding and discussing good new things on the Internet.

Rose will serve as a board chair and major advisor. Justin Mazel will play the CEO. Mazel has more than 15 years of experience and has worked with Google, Facebook, Twitter and Payal. Rose, Mazel and Ohanian will be sitting in the board of directors from Tony Conrad along with Tony Conrad. True Ventures is supporting Dig’s return, both Rose and Conrad are partners. Seven Seven Six of Ohanian is also supporting the new Diggi.
