The mistake we made was not being clearer that we were not associating the algorithm change with the top submitters. These guys are hard working, honest contributors to digg and are being unfairly scapegoated.
Please stop with the targeted burying… Digg what you like, bury what you don’t. We’ll take care of the abusers.
Basically it sounds like he agrees with what the top users are saying and this is a miscommunication problem that has spiraled out of control.
I suspect that if Jay Adelson feels this way we will see some sort of public statement very soon. I think it is a great response.
As a site note, it appears that the digg story for this OmniNerd article has already been buried by people marking it lame or a duplicate. That’s too bad.
