One bury brigade in particular is a conservative group that has become so organized and influential that they are able to bury over 90% of the articles by certain users and websites submitted within 1-3 hours, regardless of subject material. Literally thousands of stories have already been artificially removed from Digg due to this group. When a story is buried, it is removed from the upcoming section (where it is usually at for ~24 hours) and cannot reach the front page, so by doing this, this one group is removing the ability of the community as a whole to judge the merits or interest of these stories on their own (in essence: censoring content). This group is known as the Digg \u201cPatriots\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I find it curious that I still have not registered with Digg<\/a> and I can count the number of times I’ve been to the web site on my two hands. I think it’s me, tho, because it seems like a great service. But crap like this (and that<\/a>) doesn’t make me think I’m missing out on much.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
