(23:07:18) Matt: I hate Digg.
(23:08:47) Matt: New comment system shows comments in order of most diggs, with replies. So you get 
Comment - +29 diggs
Reply - -30 diggs
Reply - -59 diggs
Reply - +100 diggs
Comment - +20 diggs
(23:08:55) Matt: That's all over the place!
(23:09:12) Matt: No indent gives no clear mark of where replies start and end
(23:09:24) Matt: Which gives a no order, all mess look
(23:10:27) Matt: http://digg.com/users/MBHoy/dugg now sucks! As does every aspect of my profile. Sure, I can see what I've submitted/dugg/commented on, but just the title. No description, no comment count, no via: link, nothing. Which means I need to click in order to see what I really dugg
(23:10:43) Other Participant: I know
(23:10:47) Other Participant: it's fucked up
(23:11:04) Other Participant: good comment at top, douche's at bottom thats how it's always worked
(23:12:07) Matt: Say I submitted something. Checked the next day on old digg, could see "Ah, no diggs, but 3 comments, let's read them" or "Ah, 200 diggs, and 100 comments, let's have a browse" now it's "OK, no diggs, I guess I'll have to go look to see if there's any comments" and "Ah, lots of diggs, but are people saying anything? Is there any discussion? I'll have to click" 
(23:12:44) Matt: Or I dugg:
TItle: [PIC] You have to see this...
Description: Picture of a chicken fighting a snake.
(23:12:58) Matt: Next day "Ah, I'll go look at that chicken photo" 
(23:13:14) Matt: Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling. No mention of a chicken. Titles only. 
(23:13:22) Matt: I'd have to click every digg in order to find it 
(23:15:24) Matt: And it's generally uglier
(23:15:31) Matt: Trying to be like facebook
(23:15:36) Other Participant: yup
(23:15:39) Other Participant: toooo plain
(23:15:47) Other Participant: I liked the gradient top bar
(23:15:56) Matt: I'm going to stop visiting.
