    I… dont want to think about what Digg would do to it, or since no one remembers Digg has everyone forgotten about the 2010 redesign, and why Digg was sold to BuySellAds in 2018?

      Kevin Rose and Alexis Ohanian own Digg now. Alexis Ohanian never worked at Digg and Kevin Rose was replaced as CEO by the board in 2010 for non-involvement. It’s still going to be a non-federated for profit platform. But there’s no reason to think they would ruin Pocket or even change it dramatically.

        Except that’s exactly what they did to Digg in 2010
