I have an account on Digg, but rarely ever post anything because the crowd there reeks of misogynists. And of course, there is the issue of homophobia.<BR/><BR/>I already knew how female-unfriendly the site could be but this is truly appalling.Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553107808744980875.post-59919014530220937162007-12-27T10:23:00.000-08:002007-12-27T10:23:00.000-08:00Great article, and many kudos to you and your crew. I was permanently banned from Digg earlier this year, and certainly have no compassion for Mr. Rose and his petty little social empire of 12-year-old virgins. <BR/><BR/>This is the first I've heard of your site, and found this post via Mixx.com. Great work. Keep it up. <BR/><BR/>Screw bigots and their prejudicial ignorance.cGt2099http://www.blogger.com/profile/09002027887434992309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553107808744980875.post-47624356964821336592007-12-23T11:41:00.000-08:002007-12-23T11:41:00.000-08:00Very well written and I couldn't agree more...had anyone at Digg taken the time to figure out the purpose of Paula's articles were NOT to sastisfy the whims of perverted straight men, they themselves might have been educated about WHY this type of post is relevant.<BR/><BR/>Paula, I applaud you and your efforts and wanted to be on record for that.thewishfulwriterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12137357882120170914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553107808744980875.post-50886656650874101752007-12-22T16:33:00.000-08:002007-12-22T16:33:00.000-08:00They are really being pretty obvious about this. I could not believe the banning of Capn' Dyke--well I could not believe it when I was banned--since my blog is most a cultural and political blog with readers across the orientation, gender and political spectrum. I\The blog might be exclusively lesbian content 20 percent of the time--not counting my propensity to post a cute girl whenever it is tangentially relevant:)<BR/><BR/>I will do what I can. This needs to get to the mainstream pres-- the gay press, especially in San Francisco. <BR/><BR/>And another group (and this probably surprises some of you) that might jump in are conservatives. There have long been complaints on the right that due to the leftist bent at Digg they have been buried.<BR/><BR/>I will do what I can. Will fit in what I can right now between entertaining my parents and the kids during Christmas, but after that I will have more time to bitch and be annoying.<BR/><BR/>~BeckyBecky C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06415067599794969890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553107808744980875.post-34671877207898767822007-12-22T11:32:00.000-08:002007-12-22T11:32:00.000-08:00There are only a couple of articles left on Digg and one is not even on this site...it on the Queen of the Surf pirates site, my surfing blog and that is because they were not submitted by me but by other people... abut if you try to digg an article from this site it will not let you...<BR/><BR/>and no, noone said anything to us... we just could not submit any more article and our accounts were deactivated... <BR/><BR/>To date all E mail asking Digg what is the problem have been ignored by Digg as have the e mails sent by Becky from a Girl in Short Shorts.Paula the Surf Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08454996457013095601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553107808744980875.post-8138787504086807262007-12-22T10:48:00.000-08:002007-12-22T10:48:00.000-08:00I wanted to see for myself what was going on at Digg.com...so I went to their site and did a search for Lesbiatopia...I was suprised to see that your articles and website are still coming up on their search. I am wondering if that was a fluke, or if it is because they are older articles??? Did they sent you an email saying your blog was going to be banned from their site? Or is their an actual list of banned sites?<BR/><BR/>I have experienced my own issues with Blog Catalogs not wanting to add my lesbian blog to their list, so I realize that the homophobia is sadly still out there and I back you up %110 to fight any homophobia online or off. I just want to be sure about the details before I start writing letters to Digg, or anyone else for that matter.<BR/><BR/>Thank you<BR/><BR/>-Erica<BR/>http://lesbiansanddating.blogspot.comgirl2grlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15714784958505171520noreply@blogger.com
