Digg was like a combination of Reddit and HN basically. The content tended toward the technical side of things.

Look into Slashdot as well.

Not much traffic there. Mostly complaining about Trump, complaining about Google, complaining about Digg itself, then chatting about TV shows and movies, pictures of pets, pictures of food.

shit is there no social media that isnt like political? easiest win of the century right there, I thought about for example what if someone created a new livestreaming site and banning all existing Twitch/Youtube/Kick users as a lot of them have drama and what a lot of people would consider toxic. A new livestreaming site such as this would immidiately be looked at positively.

It's divided into "communities" kinda like subreddits. There are more and less political ones. They haven't even launched the feature that will let new moderators make their own communities yet. Early days.

The government is shut down and the economy is shit and the White House got knocked down and border patrol is torturing people in Chicago... why would people not talk about politics?
