Digg, the early 2000s news aggregator site that died and then announced its reboot last year, is now laying off staff and getting a "hard reset." The site apparently got overrun by bots and AI agents while still in beta, spurring the team to ban "tens of thousands of accounts." Ironically, the new Digg had been planning to use some AI moderators. Digg had also integrated the crypto embedded wallet service Privy, so there were some crypto plans. Unclear when the Digg site will come back. All pages have been wiped.
