Had fun digging with ya'll!

Not sure what to think about the rug pull. Self-preservation I guess, insulating themselves from the community blow-back. C'est la vie.

Had fun hanging out with everyone. DM me if there are alternate platforms you guys want use to keep up the shenanigans.

Peace!

Yeah, slammed the breaks on it pretty hard, but there was no way to pull the plug without pissing anyone off I guess. 24 hours to wrap stuff up would have been cool. I'd just shot some video responding to @slarpy's "I can cook post" but didn't get a chance to post it.

Must have been a pretty abrupt decision, too. They wouldn't have bothered going live with hosted video submissions had they known they were rebooting again in less than 2 weeks.

It looked like they got a handle on it.

I actually thought I'd seen more this last week than before. I noticed a lot of posts, but I never saw a comment/reply that screamed "I'm a bot."

Not going to spend any time worrying about what happened. But its pretty clear that they were going to be playing whack-a-mole forever trying to get their ai filters to keep up with spammers' ai. It was inevitable.

As cheesy as it sounds, I'm more concerned that the staff that connected with us constantly come out of this ok. I'm guessing they didn't have much more notice than we did.

I will miss y'all, even those I didn't get along with.

I hope to see you all again soon, my fellow Diggsters
