Digg Comments
Does anyone happen to know if it’s possible to disable comment display on Digg, or at least load no more than the initial three to five? Digg may now be more popular than Slashdot, but it’s quite obvious where the younger crowd hangs out…
3/2/06 Update
Wow, just a short time after I posted this, Kevin Rose dugg his own video of the upcoming Digg comment system. Comments will be indented in a thread-like view for easy follow-up reading. Useless comments are able to be modded down and tucked away, friends’ comments are highlighted green, and your own comments can be edited within a three minute window. All in all, it looks to be the update we’ve been hoping for. Check out the video.
3/6/06 Update
The new Digg comment system has been implemented, and it appears as though people are using it. I can now happily browse at “+0 diggs” and see useful information. Digg continues to impress me. Nice work, KR!

Couldn’t agree with you more — I’ve always thought the same thing. Perhaps someone will write a Greasemonkey script to that effect. While we’re making requests, I wish the Digg news feed would include a direct link to the article itself.

Good idea. I like Digg quite a bit, as well as newsvine, but I usually ignore the comments, due to their immaturity.

You could try the SurfRabbit Safari plugin.

I wish you could set some type of age limit or something, so you could filter out the younger groups, unless they had a good rating or something like that.

With an age limit, surely some idiots would purposefully choose 30+ as their age just to post garbage.
I wish Digg’s answer to meta-moderation worked. It would if anyone bothered to rate comments, but most go unrated.
