FREEDOM: What the left wing of 'digg' cannot 'bury'

Submitted by legalizeliberty on Fri, 03/06/2009 - 15:02

Daily Paul Liberty Forum

http://www.examiner.com/x-2698-Charlotte-Gun-Rights-Examiner...

While much has been said of liberal censorship via proposals for “Fairness Doctrine,” censorship is already being directed at conservative, particularly pro-gun, voices on the Internet. At digg.com, left-wing activists of the moveon.org or Daily Kos bent are working to “bury” pro-freedom articles and thereby prevent them from appearing in the popular site’s search engine.

The effort to suppress the popularity of articles and limit their distribution is best summarized this bitter message of hate posted by Zomgondo:

“I despise Ayn Rand wingnuts. If you post in favor of Ron Paul, guns, or any other crackpot porn I ‘will’ bury you. Tip of the day nobody listens to you because YOU ARE FULL OF S%!%. F^$& off and die kthx.”
FREEDOM: What the lefties of digg don’t want you to have

You know, I started to write this piece a few days ago and decided against. I figured that I could almost understand it if the quasi-communists hated gun rights and buried that. But the piece they just buried didn’t center on gun rights, it centered on FREEDOM.

Guess that tells us what liberals want, doesn’t it?

That’s right: What they “buried” yesterday was entitled, “What is your state’s Freedom Index?” and centered on a study entitled “Freedom In The 50 States: An Index of Personal and Economic Freedom.”

For a description of how they use automated “bury” scripts to silence you, go to: http://atomicpoet.wordpress.com/2009/03/04/evil-digg-techniq...

Like assassins in the night, either coordinated or singly, these quasi-communists used “bury” for a piece on personal freedom, while remaining cowardly and anonymous.

FREEDOM: Will you let them bury YOURS?

If not, do the following four things:

“Digg” not only this piece, but the original at: “What is your state’s Freedom Index?”
“Shout” this piece to everyone you know, since it will probably disappear from digg;
Show them you won’t tolerate their fascism: zomgondo and drakoi, for example, both have “favorite” articles on the left side of their pages. Selecting the applicable article will reveal the dreaded “bury” button. From there, it is up to you;
Tell digg.com to: (1) Eject the “buriers;” (2) Limit the number of “burys” per day from a single user; and (3) End use of automated bury scripts.

I'm a newb to digg

Submitted by Jiminy Cricket on Fri, 03/06/2009 - 22:57.

I don't really know that much about it. I don't know the ropes there, either. I know you have done a lot with it.

I signed up because I saw where you told someone here the other day how many people read digg.

But if it is set up so that the "bury" thing happens like it does, are our efforts in vain there?

I hope not. But if so, maybe redirecting energy is not a bad idea.

we had a lot of success on digg in the past

Submitted by legalizeliberty on Fri, 03/06/2009 - 23:03.

but it got harder in the last year....gets harder every month but we can still spread the message unlike in NAZI Germany....we can still work for freedom.......

Thank you for uplifting my tired soul...

From what you describe in some of your comments below...

Submitted by Jiminy Cricket on Fri, 03/06/2009 - 23:28.

...it sounds like some strange crap going on there.

Like I said, I'm a newb there, so I wouldn't know.

So, the ultimate question: Will the message get spread by way of digg if they are doing, or allowing, what you describe below?

(I think I was digg 268 on the story above, by the way.)

Glad you found me uplifting. Another poem for you, my friend.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
The world is a better place
because of people like you.

Agreed

Submitted by JoeDanger on Fri, 03/06/2009 - 19:16.

I used to love digg, as a great way to spread the freedom message. Then all of a sudden, any articles related to Ron Paul started to get buried. I refuse to believe that all the RP supporters just disappeared because he didnt win the election, our movement goes way beyond one election. I suspect Obama drones, neo-cons, and megaphone software users.

I found this - it supposedly shows buries - going to try it out over the next few days. http://www.ajaxonomy.com/buryrecorder/

also, 228 diggs, still not popular. I've seen them get to over 300. >:-(

I've been on digg a while

Submitted by Eelfinnty on Fri, 03/06/2009 - 16:23.

I've been on digg a while and I'm not sure about the administrators but the environment is generally pro gun. The Obama fanatics will bury any thing related to RP. I'll usually see our stuff survive when it makes the front page late at night. You generally get comments saying that they like his integrity even if they disagree with some of his policies.

Auto bury scripts should be eliminated, but digg is for the most part very democratic. Millions of people voting on what make it to the front page, sounds like a pretty good idea. But just like any other large group of people you get the vocal extremists on both sides. They are constantly tweaking digg so If we bring this issues to the attention of Kevin and the other higher ups we can probably get some changes. Try to bring some of these things up at the next "townhall"

I posted articles that got over 100 diggs within just 2 hours and they got buried...hundreds of examples....I have seen Ron Paul videos with over 1000 diggs that got buried.....over one thousand!!!!!!!!!!!!

Submitted by Eelfinnty on Fri, 03/06/2009 - 16:51.

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying that there isn't a group of people intentionally burying Ron Paul articles through scripts or other wise. There are people who game the system.

While it's possible that the people in charge of digg are intentionally burying our stuff in my opinion its highly unlikely.

My user name on digg is also EelfinnTy if anyone wants to friend me over there.

there is so called central bury button

Submitted by legalizeliberty on Fri, 03/06/2009 - 18:29.

one click from the digg staff buries an article it was well documented...I have a proof one of my articles actually became popular and got several hundred diggs within 30 minutes and all of a sudden GOT BURIED KICKED OUT OF THE POPULAR SECTION...it was already in popular section for 30 minutes...

Please take the time today to tell at least one friend about Dr. Paul, his message, why you support him, and why our country needs him now more than ever. This is a grassroots campaign. We are the grass and we are the roots. The other candidates may have more money, but Dr. Paul has something that no amount of money can buy: He has us. He has our trust, our belief, our support and our love. Let us not let Dr. Paul, nor our country down.
