Can you do some sort of macro filter on digg.com.

Thanks for reading this. I emailed a digg email address and got no response, and I can't find anything on their site nor on the web generally.

I've always liked digg. I found it somewhat bothersome when the top ten stories became increasingly - to the point of exclusively - concerned with politics. Fine; so I started going to the categories, such as technology, to look at the top ten stories there. When political stories began to fill up those top ten lists, I got really frustrated. For example, the technology list may have "Obama iPhone app a huge success," or "McCain once voted in favor of restricting internet."

I like politics as much as the next guy. I go to CNN, foxnews and huffingtonpost among others for political news. But I really miss the days when digg was not owned - figuratively - by a single, current political race.

Question - is there a way to apply some sort of macro filter so that not a single article will appear that contains "McCain," "Obama," "GOP," "Republican" or "Democrat"? I know it's a long shot of a question, but I am so sick of what digg has become now that I'm about to give up on it altogether.

Thanks for your time.

Thanks. I hadn't thought of that. I'll give that a try.
