Saidit was attacked today and yesterday, thank you to everyone reporting content that needs removed

submitted by magnora7 from self.SaidIt

Seems someone new has us on their radar. Today and yesterday we received attacks including large-scale automated porn posting, and another user posting long blocks of foreign text in various languages. Both are attempts to add "garbage" on to saidit, to drag down the quality of what we have developed here.

Thank you to all the users reporting the rule-breaking content. I will be watching it closely now that I'm aware of an ongoing attack. If you see any more users doing this type of posting, please send their usernames to me in a PM or in reply to this thread. Thank you!

    No problem. There's a lot of moving parts, but we're doing our best.

    Keep it up dude. These sick fucks won't stop until they control all media sites.

    There's a pretty hardcore purge going on right now. Not surprising considering It's the time PR agencies and media sites boost the censorship.

              It looks like thedonald.win is under attack at the moment... interesting timing of all this stuff

              Some coordinated thing is going on perhaps, I wonder if there's some biden laptop type thing coming out and they're shutting down all the sites that might report that, using various attacks from content spam to technological attacks. Or maybe just testing that system out... The timing sure does seem interesting that it's all happening at once after months of basically no attacks. /u/d3rr you might find this interesting too

              The Trump administration sued Google, so it might be (probably is) retribution for that.

              I live in New Zealand my friend runs a buysell swap group on Facebook after posting information supporting the advance party (centrist conservative) it was also attacked in a similar fashion. Is conservative viewpoints that much of a threat to the NWO? Guess so

              Note that there are plenty of other reasons to flood the site; friendly reminder not to jump to conclusions. (Not everything is part of one big plot.)

              yep occams razor says that is why they flooded the site

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

              facebook is currently censoring the advanceNZ logo as "nudity or sexual content"

              [–]UnexpectedTransmissi 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

              Is there any update on moving the servers to a host that won't censor? (Like IP2)

              [–]magnora7[S] 6 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

              Yeah I've been thinking about it some more, maybe in a month or so, we have to complete some other things first.

              [–]UnexpectedTransmissi 6 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

              Awesome! You rock

              site just went down for a while right as I tried to make a post

              [–]magnora7[S] 9 insightful - 2 fun9 insightful - 1 fun10 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

              Thanks for the report. Apparently according to a notification I just got, the server company itself is having issues right now, it's nothing to so with saidit in particular. /u/d3rr nothing to worry about, it's not us.

              [–][deleted] 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

              More porn 2hrs old, https://saidit.net/s/MediaAnalysis/comments/6p19/pornsitepost/

              Maybe porn should be a special report option that goes right to you, or at least it's own category.

              I took a break from saidit. a break from all of the social media really. good to see that, the tradition of porn raids continue on saidit!

              In reddit I got just banned from one sub and got account warning for saying muslims are dangerous.

              Lol. I got suspended for 3 days for typing "fags" in my native language to a post that was specifically asking how everyone calls their close friends in different parts of Europe.

              How can we help more? Will cloudflare help in keeping these out?

              [–]magnora7[S] 6 insightful - 3 fun6 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 3 fun -  (7 children)

              No cloudflare only helps with technical attacks and DDOSes, not cultural attacks where people try to make this place suck by posting garbage. What I could really use is a programmer who knows javascript, python, and postgresql. We need more developments to the site and I am overloaded with things to do

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

              There might be some tasks which I could help with. Is there a list of tasks or a repo or something? Happy to chat over PM

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

              Hmmm.

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

              If you know postgreqsl/python/javascript, and want to help me make a "remove all posts and comments" button for admins, I could really really use that. If you're interested send me a PM and I'll give you more info.

                  Thanks for the idea. Send an email to who though? And why would they care?
