It filters out 90% of the cancer that people create by dragging the discussion down and justifying it by saying "free speech bro nigger nigger nigger nigger".

Because it uses the reddit codebase, and that was a feature of reddit.

Because a "free society" also has "freedom of association" and the "right to discriminate"... Seems pretty straight-forward.

If you could live in a white-only neighborhood, wouldn't you?

Probably for the admins to discuss various issues regarding the website

Yeah, there are some subs that are private for that reason. I'm not in any, but I did stumble upon one by accident.

Most private subs are empty (they just want to sit on the name), and the only ones I've seen that are actually active are ones the admins made for private discussion. It ain't like the illuminati is plotting behind that little key icon.

I make subs private to stop invasions (and only temporarily), because some people tell all their friends to spam a sub they don't like, or a sub that's modded by someone they don't like. There's way too much drama, and that's largely because the Libertarian faction of Saidit hates me.

    Yep, I got banned from s/centrism for that post. They used the "you're invading with sock accounts" but it was really a you're a big meany! and I don't like what you say.

    Just another reddit.

      why do birds, suddenly appear?

      why do idealists take simple concepts, push them far past sense and then complain that the world isn't fair?
