He also says that the Digg algorithm works because there are Reddit stories on the front page. WHAT THE f**k ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? YOU ARE CENSORING 90% OF REDDIT ARTICLES FROM REACHING THE FRONT PAGE!!
"@badqat that's why you see a homepage of reddit stories, it works!, we want to ensure diversity of sources, and we're working on that now"
Well Kevin, you may be right that this will soon pass. Because everyone may be gone.
Agreed. Kevin, get it through your thick skull that digg is revolting because people are disgusted at how the site's changed, but we're still holding out hope that you'll come to your senses and give us the old digg back. We're only revolting because we still care. Keep up the v4 bulls**t up for too long and the riots will eventually calm down like you predict, but it will only be because your users will have given up and moved on to reddit permanently.
I have been coming to Digg for over 4 years now and I have never seen so many people agree on a single issue than they have the the new Digg sucks and they all feel disenfranchised and they Digg has turned their back on them. Digg thinks this will be like what happens on Facebook in that people complain but still use the site. What they do not realize is that unlike facebook we have other options for news so people can much more easily leave. Digg has removed all sense of community and now it is just a RSS feed from corporate sites and a comment system.
I keep hoping that they will come up with an explanation or a reason but they just seem to have the old GM attitude of "you will drive what we give you and we dont care what you want because we know whats best". We all know how well that worked out for GM.
Digg V4 is about as cool as peeing out my ass, and s**tting out my c**k, and vomiting out my ears at the same time. Oh, and Kevin Rose can suck my balls.
Do you suppose Wikipedia in 50 years would have an article titled "Lamest Site Revamp Ever"? I can already guess its contents:
#REDIRECT [[DiggV4#Mass_Exodus]]
It still hasn't been reverted back, kevin seems to be unaware of the fact that the digg userbase will be reduced to die hards and a few power users if he doesn't revert it back the way it was, hell i bet he's lost at least 60% of the userbase already.
Wait, are you talking about the movie or the comic? Because if we're talking about the movie, then I would say the new Digg is equally gay. And that's a whooole lot of gay.

you wouldn't need to go 50 years into the future to find out that Digg died.

I've gotten 2 new Digg followers and 7 new Twitter follows since this war started. From my standpoint, this war has been great for my e-dick.

Move to REDDIT. Try some user themes like Reddit Web 2.0 to make it look better! More themes: http://wp.me/pXBiG-cn

Kevin soldout to his corporate overloads. I suggest using some Userscripts to make your Reddit stay pleasant:
Changes Reddit's UI into Digg's old-style look: http://userstyles.org/styles/35197
A cleaner version of Reddit's UI: http://userstyles.org/styles/33879

Come on, reddit's interface is not THAT bad. It just takes a couple of days to get used to, and then you'll love it.
