How many of you were using Digg during its prime?

I switched from slashdot to Digg. Digg to Reddit when Digg started censoring the Blu-Ray decryption key (before v4), then was on Reddit until RIF shut down. I'm scheduled to get my 16 year badge this year I think. I haven't posted or commented since RIF shut down though.

I'm debating whether to sell my account or delete it. $75 could buy a lot of printer filament.

16-year Reddit account here. It was the HD-DVD encryption key leak in early 2007.

Also a 16 yr acct. also a Jeff lol.

Hah! 🙌 what was your Reddit handle?

Lol I found you and sent a howdy your way hahahah both of us May 2nd 2007 too. Same Bishop handle I had on Digg too, and … really everything back to my Fidonet handle. I’m old.

censoring the Blu-Ray decryption key

Interesting. I remembered the key being used for HD DVD, but apparently it was both.

That’s when I left as well and watched their v4 transition from afar.
