Digg fired the ultimate footgun when they literally reformatted their entire site and ignored feedback.

That’s how I found reddit - the great digg exodus, about 15 years ago.

Given that Facebook bafflingly renamed their entire company “Meta”, I wouldn’t put a Digg-like move past them.

I think the name change pretty clearly indicates that Facebook, er, Meta agrees with the OP.

The Facebook property itself has pretty clearly already reached the high water mark. So they change the parent company name to make the distinction that Meta is not just Facebook, which they're hoping will insulate themselves from one of their products fading away as they bring up new separate social products that solve the generational silo requirement of the market.

That rename certainly doesn't inspire much confidence.
