        And the Apollo developer is apparently consulting on the mobile experience in one last “fuck you” to Reddit.

          Apollo was like the main one right? I was a rif user. Apollo’s dev is the one that spez literally lied about?

            Apollo was mostly a one man band, although I think Christian occasionally had someone helping out with services. The client side was basically all him.

            And yeah, Christian posted all of Spez’s comms and showed that Spez was lying to the community.

            Curiosity and nostalgia will definitely get me to check it out. I enjoyed digg before the v4 explosion that drove everyone to reddit.

        Kevin Rose is in charge again? I thought he sold Digg after the massive failure that was v4 back in 2010.

        Either way, I’m glad to see that digg is coming back. Reddit needs more competition. I’m hopeful that they will succeed this time around and steal back the user base that migrated to reddit and helped make them become the evil giant they are today (I am one such migrant).
