I added a picture too for maximum clarity

magnora7 · 2019-10-20T05:38:52+00:00

Wow very interesting, thanks

magnora7 · 2019-10-20T05:25:06+00:00

Added, thanks.

magnora7 · 2019-10-20T05:19:11+00:00

Nice. To set it permanently go to 'preferences' in the top right.

Then on that page toward the bottom, select the drop-list option:

home page: [All]

Change to [Subscribed (default)]

And then hit save.

magnora7 · 2019-10-20T05:02:06+00:00

Probably, easier just to ask though.

magnora7 · 2019-10-20T05:00:32+00:00

Thanks for the honest feedback. Let me explain some of these:

1) The thumbnails only cut off tall images, that are taller than the 1:1 aspect ratio.

Drag and drop for image upload is a great idea, it actually currently works if you drag-drop to the upload button itself. But we may expand it to a larger part of the page for convenience.

2) We might change the banner someday. The background change in nightmode works everywhere on saidit except this sub because of the sub CSS they chose to use here.

magnora7 · 2019-10-20T04:51:33+00:00

They're in what, day 5 now? So many protests going on it's almost hard to keep track of! It's like a contagion spreading around the globe

magnora7 · 2019-10-20T04:48:27+00:00

Because your default front page is /all. You need to change it to /subscribed.

In the top-right, go to 'preferences'. And then change your front page to 'subscribed'.

And for extra measure you can reset your subscriptions on that same page, we just updated the default sub list with the best of the best but making sure you won't miss much high-quality content, so maybe give it a try.

I just made a post here about the new subscription system: https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/15z6/saiditnet_updated_subscription_system_and_front/

magnora7 · 2019-10-20T04:29:27+00:00

Yeah I'd appreciate it if it wasn't on /all, tbh. I don't mind the community being on saidit but I don't really want it dominating the front page if possible

magnora7 · 2019-10-20T04:12:11+00:00

It never was on the list so I'm not sure what you're referring to

magnora7 · 2019-10-19T22:07:55+00:00

Alright I guess we'll leave it then, seems a fair number of people use it, thanks for the feedback

magnora7 · 2019-10-19T20:55:04+00:00

In the works.

magnora7 · 2019-10-19T20:54:38+00:00

Okay I guess we'll leave it then since many people seem to use it

magnora7 · 2019-10-19T20:52:43+00:00

We're still tweaking it, but I'll release it later

magnora7 · 2019-10-19T02:15:40+00:00

Yeah that's how I feel too. Maybe if I only had 10-20 subscriptions it'd be useful, but I have hundreds

magnora7 · 2019-10-19T02:05:01+00:00

I assume they guard these tapes more tightly than anything in the world

magnora7 · 2019-10-19T01:53:21+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it. I wonder if others also use it? Maybe we'll just leave it

magnora7 · 2019-10-19T01:52:09+00:00

I think some were seized in raids like this: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/15/nyregion/jeffrey-epstein-news.html

But most are probably in mossad possession, I would imagine. Or underground on epsteins island, or hidden somewhere else safe.

magnora7 · 2019-10-19T01:18:10+00:00

That headline is basically the most concise way to explain the Epstein thing, based on everything I've read.

magnora7 · 2019-10-19T01:16:05+00:00

You're welcome :)

magnora7 · 2019-10-19T01:08:46+00:00

Thanks for the idea.

It is an interesting idea, to have "breakthrough" posts in a certain sub that can get a wider audience if they do well. Maybe it could be a user preference option for the /subscribed page, to enable the showing of breakthrough posts in non-muted subs that you aren't subscribed to

magnora7 · 2019-10-18T23:17:01+00:00

That makes sense, thanks for the insightful analysis.

magnora7 · 2019-10-18T22:49:48+00:00

And then in the US we have Trump. It's odd so many countries are having these political meltdowns all at the same time though. It seems partly manufactured. Maybe the protests in one country inspires another country to stand up and do the same. I guess it was kind of that way with the US revolution inspiring the French revolution which came soon after, in the 1700s.

magnora7 · 2019-10-18T22:25:35+00:00

Thanks for posting this. I am hoping to see more about Barcelona on saidit, as we also cover Hong Kong and other protests.

magnora7 · 2019-10-18T22:12:06+00:00

No problem

magnora7 · 2019-10-18T21:57:29+00:00

Interesting, thanks for the data.

magnora7 · 2019-10-18T21:56:47+00:00

It used to be 25 for a long time, but 100 is better imo. Hitting the next button over and over is annoying, it's easier to scroll

magnora7 · 2019-10-18T21:25:08+00:00

There are lot of things arising at once. The timing is interesting.

I think everything being timed together ultimately has to do with awareness and information-availability that the internet provides.

Although maybe one could argue that the timing of all these arising at once perhaps indicates they're orchestrated to bring about some sort of world government event. Ordo ab chao.

magnora7 · 2019-10-18T21:21:18+00:00

Yeah because they're attacking Syria and it's inviting all sorts of instability in to the economy of Turkey both domestically and abroad as countries begin putting tariffs in place in response to what Turkey is doing.

So if you live in Turkey right now, you're looking for stability, and you can't turn to the national currency or the national stock market, so what do you do? Gold or bitcoin

So it makes sense it's going up in Turkey.

magnora7 · 2019-10-18T21:19:41+00:00

Ripple (now known as XRP) is definitely the banker's crypto. It's the #3 largest crypto, after Ethereum and bitcoin

magnora7 · 2019-10-18T21:08:38+00:00

Me and d3rr. He does a lot of the backend programming stuff that makes the site work, and the feature upgrades. I mostly manage the culture and the site rules and stuff.

If saidit were a restaurant, I'm the waiter and he's the cook, basically. We're both working hard doing our parts, but you as a user might not see d3rr as much because he's usually busy making stuff.

magnora7 · 2019-10-18T21:01:54+00:00

I am waiting for the DNC again to box out Bernie, him again to do nothing about it, and then some semi-popular status quo character rises to the top, like Warren.

magnora7 · 2019-10-18T21:01:22+00:00

Well if that system had competition, through a national healthcare service, then the private sector might be forced to lower its prices to continue being able to compete. The current health insurance industry is currently a basically a monopoly, where you are legally required to participate, which is why the prices are so high.

Same reason college costs so much. You "have" to do it this one way, so it costs an insane amount because the gatekeepers control the only gate through.

magnora7 · 2019-10-18T20:48:09+00:00

Yeah! I've been re-watching the whole show. It really held up well, and I can relate to a lot more how that I'm in my 30s instead of my teens.

magnora7 · 2019-10-18T20:47:08+00:00

100% agree, haha

magnora7 · 2019-10-18T20:45:58+00:00

Only way the site can get better and better!

magnora7 · 2019-10-18T20:44:38+00:00

https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/37r/welcome_to_saiditnet/

This basically lists out the differences.

Here's a literal list of some of the differences I dug up for you: https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/922vc7/saiditnet_why_should_you_care/

magnora7 · 2019-10-18T20:42:07+00:00

Yes exactly, that's basically our rule right now

magnora7 · 2019-10-18T08:26:13+00:00

Yeah it's not a bad idea to have it on a per-sub basis. I think d3rr added it to our to-do list, so it's in the pipeline

magnora7 · 2019-10-18T08:09:57+00:00

Porn being banned is more about illegal porn that could get the site shut down, than DMCA notices. As well as increasing the quality of the site by porn not being everywhere. This is on the edge, but I'd say it's fine tbh

magnora7 · 2019-10-18T07:30:08+00:00

This one is fun too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vovq5vV5gMw&list=PL7E0DE3CF03D3E9B2&index=2

magnora7 · 2019-10-18T07:20:29+00:00

Ha nice, glad you liked it. It was a therapeutic find haha.

Good catch on the bug.

magnora7 · 2019-10-18T06:36:00+00:00

/u/d3rr lol

magnora7 · 2019-10-18T00:50:43+00:00

Terrible. US police need way more accountability for the 1200 murders a year they commit. Also half the people killed by police are white, so it's not even a race thing like it's often made out to be (which is a divide and conquer tactic).

It's just an America thing, in reality. We can change it by changing police culture, training, and the laws regarding consequences for those things, and by generating public support for those things.

magnora7 · 2019-10-17T22:09:32+00:00

To summarize he cuts a hole in the curtain and a hand comes out and they do a freemasonry handshake thing while the loudspeaker says stuff

magnora7 · 2019-10-17T21:53:00+00:00

I was using "I guess" in the sense of "this seems likely to be true" because it was reported elsewhere, sorry for the lack of clarity

magnora7 · 2019-10-17T20:42:41+00:00

I guess they used a "mixer" program though which is supposed to hide the chain of addresses so it's not traceable. But that obviously didn't work

magnora7 · 2019-10-17T20:36:46+00:00

No problem

magnora7 · 2019-10-17T20:33:54+00:00

Boomers in general are good at working hard, but not very good at learning new things and being flexible about life. Probably a result of their economic and monetary success in previous decades

magnora7 · 2019-10-17T20:26:00+00:00

Saidit rules don't say "hate is not allowed on this site". It's heavily discouraged though, as per the pyramid of debate. https://saidit.net/static/PyramidDebate.jpg

What is actually not allowed is calls for violence against an individual or group, which is the lowest level of the pyramid of debate.

Banning hatespeech is far too broad, which is why we don't do it. That means I can say, for example, "All lives matter" and you could ban me if you considered that hate speech. This isn't good policy, and it's a big part of why sites like reddit are falling apart and becoming houses of censorship. So it's just the advocating violence that is outright banned here.

Ideally, everyone would just be at the top level of the pyramid of debate with every post and comment. :)

magnora7 · 2019-10-17T19:12:33+00:00

Beto has zero chance of winning so talking about him is pointless imo.

The discussion should be about Bernie, Tusli, and Warren. Warren will probably be made to win the DNC with subtle rigging throughout the process just like Hillary did in 2016. I don't think the DNC neo-liberal establishment will ever let Bernie win.

magnora7 · 2019-10-17T19:09:35+00:00

The whole greta thing was an obvious media-manufactured story. It's some random kid giving a speech at the UN about a topic that has been beaten to death already. The amount of focus on her, and fervor about it, despite it basically being a non-story, were all obvious hallmarks of a media-created "sensation" that wouldn't be popular (or even notable) otherwise.

magnora7 · 2019-10-17T18:07:33+00:00

We had 3 days of downtime out of the last 2 years. I wouldn't call that "not reliable"

magnora7 · 2019-10-17T04:50:48+00:00

Yeah this is basically our view. We've been being lenient to all but the worst users because we've been busy elsewhere. But now we're starting to take steps to raise the level of discourse again, by warning and then banning users who are constantly dragging down discussion on the pyramid of debate, as per site rules

magnora7 · 2019-10-16T20:15:52+00:00

Need to get those numbers up. Someday I hope it is 195 countries and he is stuck on his yacht in the middle of the ocean, unable to immigrate anywhere. That'd be ironic

magnora7 · 2019-10-16T20:02:05+00:00

Okay thanks

magnora7 · 2019-10-16T20:01:26+00:00

Hi, advocating violence against individuals or groups is against saidit site policy. This is your first warning. Read more about saidit's rules here: https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/j1/the_saiditnet_terms_and_content_policy/

magnora7 · 2019-10-16T19:59:48+00:00

And then Trump simultaneously puts out a speech specifically against the military-industrial complex at the same time.

magnora7 · 2019-10-16T19:55:20+00:00

Hi, advocating violence against individuals or groups is against saidit site policy. This is your final warning. Read more about saidit's rules here: https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/j1/the_saiditnet_terms_and_content_policy/

magnora7 · 2019-10-16T19:53:44+00:00

Also, isn't "large mode" a RES thing?

Oh is it? Well that just makes it easier to port then because we have access to the code. I'll add it to our to do list.

magnora7 · 2019-10-16T19:53:13+00:00

As it lists them all out, each has an sub/unsub button to the right on the /subs page, so you can do them individually from that page if you like. We have had some issues with adblockers erroneously blocking these buttons on occasion so maybe that's happening to you.

magnora7 · 2019-10-16T19:51:03+00:00

magnora7 · 2019-10-15T16:44:37+00:00

For your comments? Reddit has "large mode" which has a side-by-side preview of the comment's formatting, maybe we could emulate that.

magnora7 · 2019-10-15T16:44:00+00:00

You can do this already by going to www.saidit.net/subs which lists them all out and has subscribe/unsubscribe buttons

magnora7 · 2019-10-14T22:44:37+00:00

We should clip the top 10th of that and make it the saidit banner. It's got the right colors already

magnora7 · 2019-10-11T03:57:58+00:00

Okay I will relax on that specific phrase in this sub

magnora7 · 2019-10-11T02:52:58+00:00

Yup, I agree.

magnora7 · 2019-10-11T01:20:52+00:00

fixed

magnora7 · 2019-10-11T00:36:39+00:00

Heh funny. User removed, thanks.

I think the people spamming really obscure things are actually just bots spamming the site with garbage to degrade the overall quality, I doubt they actually expect anyone to care about AOL haha

magnora7 · 2019-10-11T00:34:17+00:00

I've had this exact thought recently. They moved the overton window from exposing these actual rings when the victims started coming forward, and warped it in to a pointless frantic discussion about D&D and Marilyn Manson.

I wonder how many other frivolous media conversations are actually just cover-ups to drown out other more important stories.

magnora7 · 2019-10-11T00:30:38+00:00

You're welcome. Between blizzard and reddit, we're going to need a new internet soon made of sites like saidit

magnora7 · 2019-10-11T00:15:16+00:00

Ha nice

magnora7 · 2019-10-11T00:14:32+00:00

ding ding ding, someone gets it

magnora7 · 2019-10-11T00:13:00+00:00

Interesting effect of it turning on and off again automatically, thanks for sharing

magnora7 · 2019-10-11T00:10:40+00:00

That's a good question, I wonder too. I am definitely over that limit haha

I like that you have similar post karma and comment karma, I think that is good because it shows you participate in multiple ways

magnora7 · 2019-10-10T23:47:25+00:00

Thanks

magnora7 · 2019-10-10T22:05:00+00:00

Saying they "deserve to be murdered" is still advocating violence which is against the rules, sorry. We're not going to entertain calls for murder on this site.

magnora7 · 2019-10-10T21:22:38+00:00

Hello please no advocating violence against groups or individuals, that's against site rules, thanks.

https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/j1/the_saiditnet_terms_and_content_policy/

You can say literally whatever you want, except for suggesting people be murdered.

magnora7 · 2019-10-10T11:39:23+00:00

magnora7 · 2019-10-10T11:39:12+00:00

no problem :)

magnora7 · 2019-10-10T11:17:21+00:00

Didn't see this until now, thanks for donating scamcast! Much appreciated

magnora7 · 2019-10-10T11:07:25+00:00

That is pretty ironic, I hadn't noticed that. Probably because the politics of reddit align with the politics of vice in a way they don't want to alienate it. I bet half of vice's views come from reddit links.

magnora7 · 2019-10-10T10:34:12+00:00

Yes I think that's a good source as well

magnora7 · 2019-10-10T10:28:29+00:00

If you see something posted on both Reuters and Zerohedge, then it's probably worth considering. Really it's best to take in a wide variety of sources.

magnora7 · 2019-10-10T10:10:28+00:00

This is basically what the new setup will be, more or less

magnora7 · 2019-10-10T10:08:45+00:00

When you post there is a 'title suggest' button.

They set up a server, made a post linking their server to saidit, used the title suggest, then looked on their servers and saw where the title request was coming from. This was fetched from the real IP, rather than the masked IP. Then they were able to directly DDOS us.

Pretty tricky
