"The Digg comment system is finally live, and boy are the Diggers upset about it. In a mini-uprising, a scaled-down version of the hex-key-digg-meltdown episode, many of the stories on Digg's front page (some are buried now) and upcoming sections are protesting against Digg's new comment system, which allows comment threading with more than one level of nesting, but automatically hides all the replies.\nWhile the visual appeal and the functionality of the new comment system can be debated, one thing about it is inevitably awful: speed. This thing is slow as hell, and no one likes that. Just check out the comments in this Digg story, and you'll see what we mean. \n\nIs this a justifiable revolt? Do the majority of Diggers really think that the new system is awful, or is it just a vocal minority that's winning the argument? Will this turn into another catastrophe, and will Digg again be forced to change something because the users didn't like it? And, most importantly, what will happen if Digg users massively revolt some big feature that brings revenue to Digg, like the upcoming restaurant &amp; product reviews, as announced by Kevin Rose?  So far, the feedback on that idea hasn't been positive.\nIt's hard to say, but once again it's clear that trying to improve or change a site largely governed by the community can be a very tricky task. VCs take notice."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
