If you notice every time a small group thinks it has the power to move whole groups off to another site ( I tried it as well with a few power players for another site) there is a revolt. Revolts are normal as the chiefs of each little group all want to be Chiefs or the power brokers behind other sites that they have more control over.
With each revolt witness a ‘new digg clone’ usually based in Pligg’s open source software.
Some of these sites will be decent, some great, but none will de-throne Digg as the King. They are too entrenched and accepted.
A revolution every now and then is a good thing I think.
Let’s just keep it in perspective and realize that there will always be another revolt. There will always be revolts orchestrated by the very same people too on sites like Digg, just with their multiple personalities.
I understand how some get upset with some of the closed accounts and all but look at this whole thing from Digg’s standpoint.
You have a great site that is gamed constantly and the pissed off people are the people who realize that their game is greatly affected when Digg changes things. Especially when accounts are closed for good or even for the wrong reasons.
If you factor in the issues that Digg has to deal with like vote buying and sites like subvert, then you understand that they have to do what they are doing, or Digg really will be broken.
