Having a hard time comprehending the latest Digg concept... I'm scared to engage.

First of all, it appears to only be AI content (content displaying news on AI). I am NOT interested in the AI wave that is happening right now, and I honestly don't care about all these egos and stories about it. If it doesn't open up to other topics, I really don't care where it goes because I will not be a part of it.

Second, do I need an X/Twitter login to use the current iteration of the site? (I can't tell... honest question). I was hoping for so much more. If I need to be part of Twitter to use the new Digg, I'm OUT.

I was able to completely avoid the Twitter phenomenon. Many people I knew were using it, and I never saw value. Then, when it got taken over by elon, I knew I never wanted a part of it. No fucking thank you.

Bullet dodged!

I get the feeling that, while Digg was a bit more of a rehash of the Reddit format than Kevin Rose wanted (I totally get that, but I really was starting to love it), this new idea is obscure, narrow, and delves into parts of tech and news that I purposefully avoid.

It feels like Kevin Rose wanted a playground for news posts, and this is a view into his head.

I really do not like it.

My rant/2 cents. I was hoping for so much more.
