All these shills have made the admins paranoid of regular people. Not so healthy.
OP is not a regular person
Indeed. I've been talking with him and he has great ideas :)
The worst part is that there's no shortage of simple open legit solutions to help deal with these issues - without compromising the site, needing extra admin privileges or special access, etc. Community-based self-policing would also unburden the admins and they could do more "leadership" stuff. Nothing needs to be permanent. Try stuff out. If something doesn't work, try something else. Evolve. The asstrolls do, and it will only get worse in the future.
I was attacked and accused just now for being a shill because I said DDG is censoring a Google's YouTube alternative called odysee.
They called me a Google shill. I shit you not.
Oftentimes the people calling you shill are themselves shills, they just do it to spread paranoia.
You think TAM has been replaced by a pod person?
Naw, I was an asshole to begin with.
You don't drink, you don't get high, and you don't fuck. It's frankly not a surprise you're miserable.
Come on, man. Those are not the only things in life that make people happy. If anything, they have the potential to just make you more miserable depending on the circumstances.
Could life be any more perfect than here and now? - 12:56am plenty of beer left
Everything sucks and I want to die - shortly after running out of beer at 4am.
You're absolutely right, but in a more general sense I mean ways to blow off steam and relax rather than those specific favorite things of mine.
The wise man has spoken
There's a difference between being miserable and accidentally being a jackass.
I find the two to be strongly correlated. It's hard to be pleasant if you don't feel good.
No. I think TAM is only human, was tired, and needed some leadership advice. Feel free to read my comments if you give a shit. Engage if you want more discussion/debate/drama. I learned some stuff about our new admin today.
You know who would say Tam hasn't been replaced by a pod person? Another pod person.
Q: How would I know if I was a pod person?
A: There's an empty pod husk nearby.
Q: What if there's no pod husk?
A: Just keep looking until you find it.
Thanks for the ping. I was just about to check that post out, as I quit Google and skeptically use DDG, but I guess I'll need to move on to Searx.
FYI, TheAmeliaMay is an admin and young trans-woman who means well.
Noted. Im sure she did mean well, when you are constantly attacked, its easy to see to see everyone as a threat. I must admit I had my moments like this trying to protect a CV subreddit back last march.....
Why not Startpage? They are good for privacy and their results are on-par with Google's.
Yes, among others too. Besides minor inconveniences re:Odysee and a few other things, I'm still happy with DDG.
You are the problem and you know it
Actually I don't. Elaborate and educate me.
Because you're concern trolling and talking about Internet drama concerning pseudonymous user accounts on a random message board like a faggot would.
You can't tell the difference between legit concern and concert trolling.
By using "faggot" you automatically discredit any legitimacy your perspective may have had.
By calling you "faggot" I'm pointing out that you're acting like a faggot
Saying again doesn't make it true, nor improve your credibility.
I suspect you're flirting with me since you like talking to "faggots".
If you do not respond I'll know it's either false, you're too lazy to bother, got hit by a bus, or you got wise and decided to disengage.
Saying again doesn't make it true, nor improve your credibility.
True, but I've not made it true, you did with this bullshit drama post. I'm just pointing it out
So you do love me! Hugs and kisses backatcha.
Its ok, we all know you are here to stir the pot
This OP is #2 of my weekly protest posts. Here is #1.
Whether you support /u/diogenesjunior or not, I invite other users to join me in protesting for simple SaidIt improvements - no more than 1/day collectively or 1/week by individuals.
See also: SaidIt Protest Guidelines - open to your feedback for improvements.

You can go talk to your friend on literally any other server on the entire worldwide internet. Jesus. It's not like kidnappers broke into your home and emptied a crib. Stop with the site drama already.
You can go fuck yourself Chipit.
I know he's on Ruqqus.
You know this is about more than just DioJr and I.
This is about systemic problems magnora7 refuses to deal with, like you.
Well if you can still talk to him you haven't "lost" anything, have you? Jeez louise. Instead you frighten away new users with this site drama. I know that's one of the warning signs when I click on a new site, seeing stuff like this pop up.
Read the fucking meme. " Friends & asstrolls are all fair game to be disappeared. " One per week.
THAT is the problem. No transparency and no accountability.
You frighten away new users with your own obtuse drama and bullshit, ALL DAY LONG, EVERY DAY, EVERY WEEK, EVERY MONTH, ALL YEAR LONG. You are a blight on our little society, but of course you don't recognize that our community even exists because you're here to destroy it, shitty shill contrarian.
"Little society"? "Community"? WTF dude it's a website. You post on it. That's it. You're taking it waaaaaaay too seriously. Someone took away your friend and now you're throwing a temper tantrum in public about it? Sheesh you're a grown man.
You know it's about more than that, infantile asstroll.
I can't make up my mind. Which do I want more? For you to rot in hell or burn in hell? How about both?
Of course you'll have to meet your demise first, as we all will, at your leisure, but IMO the sooner the better.
Jeez dude step away from the site. You're taking it waaaaaaay too seriously. It's a website, you post stuff on it. You don't put your entire value of your life on here. It's making me feel gross even replying to this, which I'm sure was the intent.
If you don't give a shit, why are you harassing me? Better yet, don't answer. Be a vampiric vulture elsewhere, or better yet, starve to death.
I'm done feeding you, asstroll.
He spammed me a long pasta
Careful with the name-calling. Don't give M7 ammunition. He's made a veiled threat in another post and I don't want him to act on it. But the lack of transparency and interaction with feedback does make me reconsider my meager monthly patreon contribution. Even though DioJr inducted me into the s/retard hall of fame, he did have some quality posts and he put some time and effort into the site. And yet, he just disappeared abruptly like a political dissident in the PROC.
I agree and I appreciate your cautionary warning.
I'm not losing my shit. I intentionally stooped to fighting fire with fire.
M7 has warned me, exposing his obvious hypocrisy because I've never seen him spank Airbus nor Chipit who are obviously shit disturbing with immunity. I responded.
I will resume my previous average level above the fray.
Yeah, some users take pleasure antagonizing other users. It's not in good faith and should be called out.
He might identify as a teen girl who wants s/tits to exist 😜
Everyone likes s/tits.
Except me — to the surprise of literally no one.
You can go fuck yourself Chipit.
Stop repeatedly dragging the quality of discussion downward please.
Thank you for using "please". Not a joke. Also, I'm Canadian. I've been talking to TAM about tone, who admits she's tone-blind.
Please address the downward problems of Airbus stalking me and Chipit picking fights with perpetual mid-pyramid attacks.
Magnora needs to step up here
No. OP is a faggot
OP is always a faggot, that's internet tradition.
It's not gay if you're on top.
