Pretty interesting and yeah it fooled me for a second, but the problem is that the new addition has caused Digg to lag and crawl to a snail’s pace. It now takes forever to navigate through the site and load pages. It was so bad that I actually rebooted my computer and reset my modem thinking it might have been my connection.

I like Digg but creating an April Fools joke at the expense of site-wide usability is just plain dumb.

Allowing pages to have 300+ comments, each and every one of which has multiple unoptimized AJAX-powered elements in them, is already phenomenally stupid.
