It is important to note that not all diggers reacted with the same teenage basement mutiny mentality:

time for some major damage control…the ripple affect will be immediate when all sites linked to digg will load very slow!

I’ll agree with you Jackson, it does come across as immature, and I’m sure there are those users that are doing it just purely out of fun. However, the ones that are standing behind the idea that Digg shouldn’t censor posts are doing what they have to in order to get their voice heard. It’s the closest thing that the internet can have to a picket line. Diggers are standing on the front page with their signs (stories) held high making their voice heard.

No, I’m not going to participate in the shenanigans and go Digg crazy, but I think that something needs to change in the way things happen over at Digg if they are deciding to censor stories.

In the beginning of a thing is its undoing. Digg lives, and dies, by its userbase.

I think a lot of the users that are banned tonight made brand new accounts just to spam. The way the community reacted tonight was embarrassing. It just showed the immaturity of most of the community. They’d rather spend time spamming digg then do other stuff. They aren’t standing up for anything, just proving that they are immature imbeciles.

I wouldn’t miss the ones that did this and the ones who said they are going elsewhere.
