I was and used to watch the Diggnation podcast all the time. Loved Digg in its heyday, and it was sad when it went downhill. Reddit ended up being excellent though, and better than Digg ended up being. Sucks that it died too, but hopefully the Fediverse ends up finally being the chosen one.
Oh man, a few months ago my kid found an old boombox in the garage. It was awesome showing him "ok, here's the knob and how you change stations" and explaining why he couldn't just pick the song he wanted lol.
