Slashdot Mirror
Growing Censorship Concerns at Digg
I find site rivalries boring, but growing concerns over Digg "censorship" have been submitted steadily for the last few months. Today two such stories were submitted so numerous that I had little choice but to post. The first claims that Digg is
the editor's playground- it explains how a few users control Digg, and that it's not really the 'Democracy' that they claim it to be. Personally I think this is all totally within the rights of their editors to choose content however they like. But it's less pleasant when combined with accounts getting banned for posting content critical of digg, and watching other content getting
removed for being critical of sponsors (also, here is Kevin Rose's reply).
This was posted on Digg two days ago...
If you don't know what AltaVista is (was), get off my lawn.
Just so we complete the circle, here's a DIGG on this /. story ... ;-)

At /. they always censor topics such as
Round 1, Slashdot Diggs For Dirt
Round 2, Dig Slashes Back
Round 3, Slash Diggs Grave
Round 4, Both Sides Look Dirty
Round 5, Audience Can't Tell SlashDigg Apart
Slashdot and Digg are linking to each other! An endless loop of Slashdot Effect and Digg Effect! Is the internet going to explode?
You're right, I wouldn't steal a car. But if it were possible, I sure as hell would download one!
It is a dark time for Web 2.0. Although the Beatles_Beatles has been destroyed, Slashbot troops have driven the Digg forces from their Ajax den and pursued them across the Internet.
Evading the dreaded Slashdot Moderator Fleet, a group of Web 2.0 upstarts led by Kevin Rose has established a new Digg site on the remote web servers of Revision3 Corporation.
The evil lord Darth Neal, obsessed with finding young Rose, has dispatched thousands of remote links, DDoSing into the far reaches of webspace....

I didn't abuse the moderation system.
It was a legitimate critique of slashdot policies. Much like this discussion is of digg's.
My moderation up until that point had been considered and careful.
Again. the admins have right to be dicks. But they can pretend that they are doing it for the good of the users.

This is a joke, by the way (you can't be too careful).
Why would you be criticizing a 15-year high school student on Slashdot? Or do you mean "Michael Sims"?
Don't like Slashdot? Grab the slashcode and set up a site just like it which reflects your values better. Thousands of people have done exactly that.
Thousands eh?

I used to get mod points almost once a week, then I started exerting my Republican viewpoint on Slashdot and I havent seen mod points in over a year and a half.
Coincidence? Or a bitchslap from above?
Your hair look like poop, Bob! - Wanker.
Taco, you made a grammatical error so lingo that I feel compelled to point it out.

CmdrTaco: For great justice.
Zonk: Somebody set up us the digg.
Digg comments are the same type of comments that Fark has... people talking about stuff they have no clue of.
Sometimes when I need an ego boost, I post a comment on Digg and I feel like a freakin' genius among retards.
I think the parent meant the number was into four digits. He just failed to mention all of those digits are zeros.
