Some may find this amusing and interesting: Digg doesn't seem to be as active as the Fediverse. (piefed.social)

Digg's officially launched now for about a month and it's... really underwhelming.

The "Most Dugg" posts by upvotes as of this post:

+110, +107, +89, +86, +84, +84, +79, +79 (roughly in the last 24 hours)

As compared to Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin as seen on Lemmy.world (Top in last 24 hours):

+1.22k, +952, +855, +751, +669, +646, +620, +612

That's really poor from Digg honestly.

and can freely read anyones messages.

You do realize this is true of any service, yes? Unless there is 1:1 end-to-end encryption, perhaps. Even there, unless you're pasting in encrypted data into the app, the app can potentially send your unencrypted data somewhere.

That may all be true and all, but other services aren't one guy.

It would be like signing up for a fediverse instance, which uses closed source software, and it's just one guy running the service for a small amount of people.

I don't know who runs Lemmy.world, but at no point do I think the admins are targeting me, to read through my inbox. My judgement says that's not what the admins are doing with their time.

But this myspace clone had 300ish registered members on a single centralized closed source platform being run and created by one guy with zero oversight. I can't say that he created the service specifically to spy on people, but it certainly doesn't pass the sniff test.
