Holy shit, Reddits trying to kill itself quickly.

They're only doing what their investors tell them to do. It's not free speech. It's tighly controlled speech, such that once the majority of the popuation gets used to this level of control, there is no stopping the globalists from pushing for even more behind the scenes control. Oh wait, that already happens.

    We're just a few dollars shy of breaking even and have been for a few months.

    Unless you crack down on free speech. Namely right wing speech, conspiracy theories, discussion of uncomfortable statistics, and scientific facts - essentially any challenge to the current mainstream narratives you will get deplatformed from Patreon.

    If you plan to die on the free speech hill you should make backup funding plans and create a legal Trust to defend the domain from seizure attempts - or just decide now to make such speech unwelcome so it's not a problem for you later.

    I say this to you as someone that is a regular poster on Voat, and Gab, and have seen the trials and tribulations both platforms have gone through for refusing to deplatform people speaking against things they don't like in our current society.

    I'm about as far right as you can go; but I'll gladly keep such discussions away from here if this place can eventually grow into a non-pozzed place to discuss topics like hobbies.

    The deplatforming is a concern, but that's why we have all those cryptocurrency donation options available.

    We don't want this place to be as far right as voat, we kind of hope to hit more of a centrist middle-ground between reddit and voat. That's the group that doesn't really have a place to speak their mind, so that's why we created saidit.

    Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it.

    Of course, I'm happy to see another attempt at less crappy social media. I'd hate to see this place vanish right after picking up a little steam.

    A final thought before bed; The main problem/challenge or source of drama, depending on your perspective - will be this: People with leanings like mine; when they first learn politically incorrect but scientifically indisputable facts - can not shut up about them.

    So, they'll attempt to "redpill" your centrists away from centrism by posting memes and other crude jokes based on statistics and facts like these: https://archive.fo/LRe05

    Lots of drama will result due to people taking offense at the unwelcome knowledge. Some of these folks will bypass you entirely and complain directly to the webhost/domain registrar/patreon, etc.

    I agree, I am already dealing with that on a regular basis. You hit it exactly on the nose. We have no qualms with political incorrectness here, but we also do not wish to become voat. So there has to be limits on this type of hate-filled ideology that is being pushed taking over saidit as it did with voat.

    It's just about... I don't want saidit to be 50% made up of posts that are about how bad x people are. Where x is leftists or some race or religion or whatever. Saidit is not a hate-manufacturing machine like voat is, nor do we want it to be.

    Additionally, some people seem to intentionally push extreme ideologies (left and right) as a way to intentionally destroy forums. All finer and subtler discussion would eventually be destroyed when knee-jerk (but perhaps factual) extremist memes take over the front page and become the mainstream culture of the site. This is a weapon used to destroy sites, and I see that for what it is, and am prepared to deal with it, even knowing it won't be easy. We are adding the rule "no advocating violence against individuals or groups" as a new additional lowest level of the pyramid of debate. This will limit the amount of hate-filled material that can be posted, as well as cut down on intelligence agency bait (agent provocateur) threads, or "glow" threads as voat calls them. This is win/win for saidit.

    However there still needs to be perhaps another rule to completely prevent the slide in to voat, but I'm not sure exactly what it would be. Perhaps no posting about the same thing over and over and over, because those people are often just pushing an ideology. But that's kind of arbitrary and hard to enforce. I don't want to say "facts posted only to support hatred of groups or individuals" because that's ridiculous, that's like a blank check for admins to act like an authoritarians.

    But if someone is posting all the time (20+ times a day) with ONLY content designed to make you hate x people... that's the real issue. They're pushing a hateful ideology ONLY and have nothing else to offer. Everything they post has the exact same slant to it, and they don't bother to post unless that slant is present. I think those are the people who destroyed voat. It's like their full-time job, and it might actually be, for some of them. But I'm not sure exactly how to turn that in to a useful rule that won't need patching or changing.

    What do you think?

    I notice extreme leftist and rightist ...they are somehow psychos and I think they use the politics to cover up themselves are psychos, they are very aggressive, and they know how to justify their aggressiveness under the term "politic".I think they just want to attack.

    It might be fun to say that all this subreddit banning is bad for reddit, but in truth it makes reddit more mainstream, and if anything, gives reddit a new lease on life. They can attract more capital investment if they can demonstrate for investors that they proactively clean up their platform.

    Free speech is a virtue, but reddit is not the only website on the Internet. There's no reason a site like saidit can't fill the need.

    What a cock of scud crack. This is like the fall of Rome but with barely maintained sanitation and double the hubris.

    The ban was inevitable, it was only a question as to when it would happen, and a couple months before Trump's re-election campaign swings into full gear is the right time for them to disrupt.

    First they issued a bullshit warning, claiming 'if we didn't clean house, ban would come down', as if they were honestly ever going to give us a chance.

    Then the admins loaded the modlist down with at least a half-dozen people that were obvious anti-CA plants just meant to ensure our 'grace period' wasn't going to go in our favor. One of these mods is a for-real trannie freak that's on record as trying to inject a confused 13 year old boy with 'super girl juice' in order to adopt 'it' into the death cult.

    Meanwhile on AHS, one of these degenerates was boasting about some bot he made that was searching CA posts for doxxing material, to the sound of crickets from the mods/admins.

    Finally came down to the day before yesterday, where the admins come down with the eviction notice they were always going to hand down, saying we weren't doing enough kowtowing, and that today was our last day. I'm not going to lie: at least one old-guard mod bitched out and tried to bargain and plead for the sub to stay up, but the admin's minds were made up long before the first notice came down.

    I want to state for the record that to my knowledge, most of the mods and virtually all of the standard users fought back against the impossible odds to the very end, giving farewells and middle fingers to the admins and faux-mods up until they pulled the plug; in the last day, people were basically just shitting on the anti-CA mods and basically trying to bury them in red pills, so we went down fighting.

    I mean, what can I say? If a bear is charging you, there's only so much that can be done; you just ball up and hope you're relatively intact when it loses interest. The migration is in progress, both within Reddit and to other platforms like this one (I setup this account a couple days back when the writing was clearly on the wall), so you're probably going to have other people like me coming onto this platform as an alternative.

    Just figured I'd give my best take on the last few days; probably forgot some details and by no means was I doing any forensic analysis for a blow-by-blow, but I was on the ground as the shells fell down around us.

    The reddit admins have also deleted posts made to them pointing out calls to violence by the left. The reddit admins have blood on their hands and face the ultimate punishment via law.

    [–]Labtech41 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    Yeah, well, when they're led off in chains I'll pour one out for the subs they banned; until then I'm convinced they'll never be held to account. Reddit's been dying for years because the Admins clearly have an agenda and a plan for what they want the site to become: CNN for idiots mixed with some Antifa circlejerk.

    The admins run the site, they can do whatever they want, but I guarantee if things keep going, the content providers that are making the site what it is and where people go will move on to places like this. Then the admins can have a little cry about why there's not enough people supporting them to keep the lights on.

    Am I the only one who's ok with these toxic subs getting banned? I'm glad they have saidit as an alternative to post because no one should be censored, but it was just a negative community shitting on people. Not productive in the least and just spread hate. Maybe that's an unpopular opinion.

    You say no one should be censored, but you’re ok with them getting banned. Pick a position.

    If there's a fun, popular, subreddit it'll inevitably get banned.
