How to prevent this from becoming a racist cesspool like voat
submitted 3 years ago by davidorr from self.SaidIt
Make all default subs have moderators that are politically moderate, and ban extreme political language posts on both sides.
Let far right people say whatever they want in non-default subs.
Otherwise your site will never take off.
Far right people: You should be in favor of this too, unless you really want to be in a box away from everyone else in the world (like on voat).

also you say you want moderators to be "moderate" yet you trying to push away a sigh, right political standpoint... where as i suppose raising minimum wage, open borders, free everything is totally acceptable to you?
Far right people: You should be in favor of this too
spoken like a true "radical leftist" telling me how i should be thinking and what whats best for me... naw I don't think so.

Nah reddit has a "west coast leftie" slant to it. Conservatives get banned but you can talk about punching women for not validating men all you want as long as the men are trans.

Voat isn't all that "racist" some just use it for shock value, to think they are edgy.

You forgot the part about grooming teenagers and young children into trans-extremism. This includes freely posting inappropriate porn that is easy for any user to access even without an account, as well as creating subs with childhood-cartoon themes to lure them in.

Hmm, another account with no comment history going "we need to hide those no-no opinions away". I wonder what this could be..
I'll just leave this here:
What if I told you, that the last refugee wave was large enough for some propaganda organizations to put this site on their radar? What if I told you the concern trolls posting those threads/comments are the first wave of shills, whose goal is to slowly corrupt this site the same way most platforms (like many subreddits, in their time) get corrupted? Notice how most of those concern trolls highlight problems that could actually be solved by their own participation - but, that would actually help the site, while their goal is clearly to (slowly) undermine it. They will also cite the new influx of users as a good thing, and threaten it ends if $demandList isn't met, while in reality much of this activity is artificially created by those shills (not most votes, just the early spike that makes it visible enough for other people to upvote it for the sake of discussion). This isn't going to stop, by the way - this is only going to get worse the more popular this site gets bigger.

I am going to copy-paste that for emphasis, because it needs saying again. The users of saidit need to understand that this is happening. The information attacks are real, and this is a problem all social media, and the users, are going to have to come to understand and deal with so we can overcome it. What you've said is very very accurate, and I am saying this as the head admin of this website as I've watched it change and grow every day over almost 3 years.

On a related note (and don't answer this here, by the way), I really hope you guys have at least some of the heavy-duty user-behavior analyzers that current Reddit has - the kind that takes as input the login/view/upvote pattern of monitored accounts, and outputs the likelihood of it matching specific models (which are tuned to find shills, trolls, etc).
You should really focus on this (either development or improvement) if you hope this site survives, as at some point (once saidit is large enough) manually banning shills is going to become impractical, while letting them brigade unchallenged is even worse.

Fellow saiditers, we must disallow far right opinions being spoken of on this website, or our website will not survive.
Jokes apart, I'm growing more and more pessimistic by the day. The internet is so heavily censored, commercialized and monetized that every website is getting paid shills posting on it. I don't even have a strong political lean but it's so tiring and saddening to see all waters dirtied by those shills who want to control the narrative.

I think racism is horrible. I do. But what's comical to me is that far left people openly say, even on THE MSM that whites need to go, we're destroying insert literally anything, that we are inherently racist and barbaric.
Wild how the main stream media can say this shit but if it's from the other side and about non-whites than that makes it extreme political language.

You are assuming that everyone who got censored on reddit is far right... That's just the trap they want you to fall into. Most of us here are actually still left or moderate.
If you only agree with 99% of what they say instead of the full 100% you are labeled far right, evil, bigot, etc.

If you don't like what you see, there's a little [-] link beside each comment. If you want this to not become a cesspool; stay, contribute your own content, and argue with the people you disagree with instead of calling for them to be banned. Democracy is messy, but everyone should get the opportunity to have their say, even if you think it's garbage. Even you and I should get that right.
