And the comments are replete with foul language and dirty jokes. I understand that hitting the Digg front page will drive lots of traffic to a web site. But, I am shocked it would be mentioned here. It's like telling LDS missionaries to go hang out in a dive bar or a show at the Las Vegas strip to find worth-while people. Worth-while people may be at such a place, but I would not want to wade through the garbage to get to them. Digg is about half-full of submissions that I worry my children will see.

I'm a LDS Digg user, but the majority of Digg users claim to be atheist and agnostic. Many of the images, video and articles that make it to the home page of Digg are not what we as Latter-day Saints would consider the "best" content on the web. Many are anti-religious and offensive. This applies to other social bookmarking sites as well, not just Digg. I agree with Jacob. I’m a LDS Digg user, but the majority of Digg users claim to be atheist and agnostic.
