In January we had very happy news as the popular tech website “digg” was able to do a full restart.

Unfortunately, due to bot spam and AI/LLM scam, the projekt went offline only after a couple of months as it became completely unadministratable.

It vanished for a while but in the meantime it actually restarted from the restart and currently looks like this:

To be fair, even bringing back “the old digg” was still in BETA when it went online again by the start of the year. As such, scraping the idea if anything crucial comes up and starting fresh is never a bad idea actually. Main priority with any IT project should be to be stable, in our honest opinion.

We don’t know what to make of this but it is what it is. We are glad they are back again!

And we share the opinion that not the reboot was the problem, but the entirety of the Internet nowadays. However this discussion is bigger and we simply can’t put it in here for the moment.

We are glad it’s back as we are still groundbreakers and are able to share news as soon as they happen here. We wish the makers good luck! And we also think putting LLMs into it is never a bad idea in 2026.

Let us know what you think in the comments and happy digging,
