Digg vs Anvil

Well, approaching DEFCON 3 here at the Anvil with regard to the recent censorship of my site by Digg.com. First the highest traffic article in the history of the Anvil was completely squelched by Digg, and then Digg implemented a block on all articles from my site from being Dugg at all.

I suppose that any private company is within its legal rights to pick and choose who gets through their system, but isn’t it interesting that a user-driven website should be so quick to censor based on the flimsiest of excuses imaginable? Like this one:

URL blocked
This URL has been widely reported by users as being regularly used to spam Digg’s submission process and cannot be submitted at this time.

Excuse me if I’m not buying that load of crap, Digg. You’ve censored me for political reasons. You know it and I know it.

I sent a kindly email to the Digg crew a day ago and still not a peep out of them. *shock, amazement*

I have plans for next week, big plans.

    I’m afraid I don’t see it that way. That admin set the tone from the first two posts and that helps destroy the effort. First impressions matter.

    When the ignorant and cowardly continue to call me a bigot, I will call them what they are: fools. My patience is thin lately, I guess.

    Actually if you look in now, the discussion has become quite civil.

    In the comments there Stirrdup was mentioned as a non-censored alternative to Digg. Thanks guys.

    I think this Foehammer guy is slightly unstable mentally, but we’ll never censor anyone for content reasons.

    (Spam, yes. Because you’re an ass, no)

    It would be a bitch for the Islamists if God were on my side wouldn’t it? How do they know angels aren’t talking to me?

    I went to stirredup, and so far there is only one comment. A muslim or sympathiser who thinks you are picking on those fine people.

    I think these thing’s, like your problems with digg, come with the territory of success. They are just things to work through.
    You have the necessary drive, and ability. Allah has seen to it that your enemies are weaker than you are. See, Allah is good for something after-all…

    You are welcome.

    BTW I jumped in head first and have submitted “How to peacefully remove Muslims from your own neighborhood” to Stirrdup.

    Let’s see how it goes, shall we? ;)

    @velvethammer: That site looks like a viable alternative. Eventually I may just boot Digg off my site entirely, and then I’ll consider such solutions.

    Thanks for the tip.

    From what I have gathered about Digg. When the leftards attack they cry “spam”. There are some that are afraid of what you say. That is good news in a way, if you think about it. You Foehammer must have hit a nerve. The whiny apologetic leftards, and perhaps some islamanazis feelings were bruised.
    Boo-freakin’-hoo!

    This may be an interesting alternative to digg.

    If you want to read actual interesting stuff written by real people, stay put.

    We use passive-voting technology to ensure the most interesting and/or controversial stories make it to the top of the pile. We believe the best articles are those that create a stir in the community, not necessarily ones everyone agrees with.

    Well-written, logical, dissenting viewpoints should not be buried simply because a handful - or even many - disagree with the message or dislike the messenger.

    The wisdom of the masses is a powerful thing, but when not kept in check the content they choose becomes stale, repetitive, and boring. Anyone who has a strong voice, but isn’t shouting what they want to hear is effectively silenced.

    If most are conservative, any liberal idea disappears. If the majority believes global warming is a threat, anyone offering evidence that it may not be is quieted. That isn’t what democracy is about.

    It’s about being free to speak your mind. It’s about being able to see both sides of an issue and having the ability to come to your own conclusions. The last thing a democracy should be about is having a small group of people tell you what you shouldn’t be reading.

    Worst of all, it shortly leads to a non-entertaining reading experience. Do you really want to keep reading the same reworded stories over and over? Or do you occasionally want to be challenged with a viewpoint that you disagree with, and have the confidence that you’re allowed to say what you feel without fear that other users will make your comments vanish?

    Hmm…

    Want proof of Google censorship? They’re at it!

    Go to the link below, then enter the site and read their story about Google policies at the top of their blog, which by the way, had to be abandoned.

    Is it a coincidence that Jihad Watch and the Anvil are experiencing, for lack of a better word, censorship at the same time?

    Good luck standing up to the PC types. I never did get into using Digg… shame because it had such potential.

    Gallows humor: We don’t need a “fairness doctrine” when corporations are all too willing to do the PC heavy handed work of the gov’t anyway. It’s a matter of time till Google starts outing people here in the US for free speech like they do in China.

    I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if someday you get a letter telling you to give more time to pushing the perspective from a violent jihadist’s standpoint.
