    Reddit seems to be pretty much undo-able at the moment with the FPH people posting stuff in pretty much any sub they can get away with. seems like there is no escaping it.

      Yeah, it looks like a revolt is coming. If not this month, then next month. A lot of pissed off users.

        How long did it take Digg to die? From memory it was fast, but I really wasn't watching at the time.

          Actually it took a while, and was very systematic and due to the many mistakes they made thinking they were too big to fail. Once they were in their death throes they did a lot of reactionary stuff like the Digg V4 thing which ended up being the straw that broke the camels back. They wanted to monetize the site and ended up gutting it and forcing everyone to jump ship.

            I think I became aware of the situation around Digg V4, so that's probably why I thought that it's death was fast.

              Making you sign into facebook to get to digg was the last straw for me. I was there during the digg wars, up close and personal. The politics was pervasive.
