Is it too late to fend off the invasion of SaidIt by revolutionary Communists and their Fascist allies? If not, what can be done?

I would welcome more people who do not think throwing people out of helicopters is a good idea.

[–]magnora7 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (13 children)

Agreed, what the hell is going on in the comments of this thread. Everyone is suddenly all gung-ho about throwing people they don't politically agree with out of helicopters. Not acceptable.

You probably somehow created that meme by yourself with your ban actions.

[–]magnora7 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

6 people ganged up to all say the same pro-violence script, and I'm at fault because I once banned a comment long ago? Lmao get a grip, no one is buying your nonsense zettel

You almost sound like a reddit admin already.

[–]magnora7 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Reddit admins ban you without discussion. Trust me, I know.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

It comes naturally with powerfull positions. But you don't see it yourself from there.

[–]sawboss[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Why would anyone do that?

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

You can create things even unintentional.

How can everyone afford all of these helicopter rides?

[–]magnora7 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

I think that's part of the "It's just hypothetical!" allure to help them skirt the rules while they make death threats

[–]Tom_Bombadil 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

That's pretty clever.

[–]magnora7 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

In a way. But in another way these people are too stupid to figure out something more productive to do than making veiled death threats, so it's hard to see them as really being that clever

[–]Tom_Bombadil 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Yes. It puts you and Saidit in a shitty spot.

Hyperbole murder threats are bad form.

I say, "A pox on all of their flea-bitten helicopter-riding associates!!!*

[–]magnora7 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yes. It puts you and Saidit in a shitty spot.

One might even go so far as to say that this is the actual purpose of it. To help destroy saidit by hiding murder threats within seemingly innocent material. It's to be expected though, in this era of the internet. Information warfare is annoying, but I think we've got some pretty decent defenses.

The problem is that this site is just one big page. There isn't room for multiple forums where you don't care what's going on on the others. All you need is 3 or 4 upvotes and you're on the front page.

[–]sawboss[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

You can change that in preferences. Just subscribe to the subs you like and ignore the rest.

[–]Chipit 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Maybe someday when the site gets big enough.

[–]sawboss[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

i'm beginning to think that may not happen. the saidit staff are getting arrogant.

[–]34679 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

Extremists from both sides can fuck right off.

[–]sawboss[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

Do you think you'll be left in peace if you refuse to side up? I assure you, there will be no peace to take shelter in.

[–]34679 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

I love my neighbors. Even the ones with different ideas and beliefs. You can too, love is easier than hate.

[–]Tom_Bombadil 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I love the fuck out of my neighbors.

[–]sawboss[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

you hate jews

[–]Jesus 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

He hates AIPAC and ZIonists infiltrating our government.

    No advocating violence on saidit. https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/j1/the_saiditnet_terms_and_content_policy/

    [–]hennaojisan 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

    All right but you know I'm not advocating violence. :)

    [–]magnora7 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

    When they refuse to answer, you push one commie out of the helicopter.

    Literally advocating killing "commies"

    [–]hennaojisan 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

    No advocating violence. ;)

    [–]magnora7 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

    Man you are a piece of work.

    [–]hennaojisan 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

    Thanks.

    [–]Tom_Bombadil 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    Ha!

    [–]hennaojisan 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    I will keep it down. That was intended as a sort of parody of a violent, hate-filled person but it didn't work very well.

    [–]gooddeath 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

    This is the problem with any reddit alternative. I am a huge proponent for free speech, but unfortunately every alternative reddit site (voat, saidit) just becomes over-run with alt-right, holocaust deniers, and pizzagate conspiracy theorists. I really don't know a good solution. If you aren't one of those three, however, I think that you should stand firm. We can't let saidit get taken over like voat did.

    [–]sawboss[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    I suspect the founders and OG SaidIt-ers are all con-thes. I'm not worried about them as long as their discussions don't dominate the site. Besides, some con-thes are real.

      I made that joke on purpose, aiming at that one case when a sub was banned for that. Maybe I should use /s more often (even though I'm still thinking that sarcasm doesn't work anymore when it must be explained).

      [–]magnora7 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

      Yes, please use /s when being sarcastic. Poe's law exists, aka it is impossible to tell when people are being sarcastic through text only when so many people do actually hold very many ridiculous opinions

      [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

      I love the adventure.

        [–]sawboss[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (10 children)

        I didn't.

        [–]magnora7 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (9 children)

        Keep the helicopters fueled and ready though. I'm convinced we'll need them for real soon enough.

        "Just wait till the right moment, then we can kill people" is advocating violence. Just own it, if you're going to say it. Don't lie so obviously.

        [–]sawboss[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (8 children)

        I never lie, and I never suggested anyone be killed. The quote doesn't support your delusions.

        [–]magnora7 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

        It clearly does though.

        Keep the helicopters fueled and ready though. I'm convinced we'll need them for real soon enough.

        Tell me then, what does this line really mean, if not to say "wait until later then we can kill/threaten people"?

        [–]sawboss[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

        it means we can provide transportation for people who are not happy to live peacefully with us

        You're a really bad liar, sawboss. Who do you think you're fooling with this?

        Throwing communists... Wait, what? /s
