> “The thing that’s interesting these days in terms of kind of restoring some of the original vibes of Digg and making it a more productive and safer place for people to connect is that we have a whole slew of technologies at our disposal now that we just didn’t have back then,” Rose says. “This stuff is really interesting in that we’re finally able to transition this into this world of moderators where instead of them being the janitors and the police, they can hopefully lean on a little bit more of the AI to do this heavy lifting for them so that they can be the director of good vibes and restore a lot of the positive things that came out of social media.”

> “Online communities thrive when there’s a balance between technology and human judgment. We’re bringing Digg back to ensure that balance exists,” adds Ohanian in a statement. “Kevin and I are here to build something better than what social platforms are offering today. AI should handle the grunt work in the background while humans focus on what they do best: building real connections. No one dreams of spending their day hunting down spam or playing content police – they want to create, connect, and build thriving communities. I’m all in on this chapter.”

Honestly, seeing the past struggles site owners have had with human moderators on Reddit and Stack Overflow, these seems more about benefiting the site owners and centralizing control than the benefits for end user it's being sold as.
