Yea def posted to wrong sub but agree with the sentiment nonetheless. It just another way to exert control on another person. Some of the biggest contributors on this site, including the dude who created it, don't follow their own stupid pyramid. They follow it when it suites them and when they can throw it in someone else's face as a debate tactic, but overall it's a dumb idea. If someone is being unconstructive in a debate or just being rude, ignorant, etc., Then just stop debating with that person. Why do we need the pyramid Gestapo to come in a be daddy and mommy for us. Just stop debating. Block the person or w.e. Its super simple and puts the responsibility on the individual instead of a bug brother type authority.

But then we're back to being a Reddit clone, and you know how good Reddit is.

How does it make it a Reddit clone?

If mods can remove good-faith comments, then it's no better than Reddit's mod "policies"

Then why do you think SaidIt was even made?

I think you may have misunderstood his comment

He was saying that Reddit mods don't remove good-faith comments, but I was thinking that the whole reason SaidIt was made was because of good-faith comment removal.

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

But i think he was saying we dont need oversight here, so he was trying to keep saidit safe

level of parent comment (OP): name-calling

level of reply comment: counter-argument + name-calling

assessment: the reply comment drags the quality of discourse in an upward direction on the pyramid of debate
