Digg unbans nearly all domains
Less than 4 days after my post about banned websites at Digg made the front page of Digg (and was subsequently buried), Niel Patel points out that Digg has unbanned a significant number of those websites.
Maybe this was just a random coincidence, but I like to think that publicizing the list of banned domains actually helped bring about the change.
Thanks Rahul for pointing this out!
Update
I reran the list of 183 banned domains and found just about all of them to be unbanned. The only remaining banned sites on the list are:
neogaf.com
thevideosense.com
blinklist.com
geocities.com
digg.com
idontlikeyouinthatway.com
The first 4 sites were the ‘temporary ban’ type. Digg is digg. In fact, idontlikeyouinthatway is the only site from the original list that was permanently banned. It would seem likely that all the permanent bans were lifted (but not the temporary ones), and that the idontlikeyouinthatway was rebanned. Or someone accidentally deleted a db table.
