Should I shut the fuck up?

I would phrase it more as relaxing a bit, and accepting that this site belongs to magnora7. The spam and trolling bullshit he's choosing to deal with to keep saidit relatively tolerable is to our benefit, even if he's not dealing with it in the exact way any of us might. (I would make new accounts powerless noobs that have to earn rights)

Secondly, I don't want you to be so rigid on this that he gets frustrated enough to ban you. I mean, you're kind of adding to the pressures he's already having with the ongoing spam and trolling.

Do you want me to ban you as well for breaking the rules like I do them? Because I'm actually being extremely lenient and you're abusing that again and again.

He really doesn't want you gone, or it would have happened weeks ago. I would suggest that instead of continuing to focus on the banning of Dio and other errors you believe M7 has made, compare the job he's doing on saidit with other site owners.

The two site owners completely misunderstand what this guy said, then libel and ban him.

This guy is one of many who call out their banning a total innocent, so they ban him too. Others are banned over their admin stupidity, and many have their accounts nuked back to zero for the slightest disagreement.

What I'm saying is that M7 might make mistakes sometimes, but he appears to me to be doing fairly well in comparison to other sites. reddit, ruqqus, hexbear, and poal have terrible admins. Imo, the warts here are not a deal breaker.

Could I have de-escalated things better?

Magnora7 is a lying drama queen riding my ass with his tiny pricks and jabs to avoid the real issues.

Maybe a bit... Anyway, hope this helps. 👍
