I think the majority of users here agree we don't want hitler memes spread across the front page every day.

With the site as it is, it is being dealt with by removal of the user and their content.

Someone spams porn or whatever, we don't want to leave it up to make sure it was justified. I understand your idea for making it a NSFW type thing, but I don't think that works when you're dealing with actions that are intended to undermine the site.

The way I see it is that Saidit is like a house that magnora and d3rr built. We here that use the site are their guests. It has been them that have taken responsibility for the site and it's maintenance including making the site resistant to technological attacks and the removal of crap content and users. Without the creation and maintenance of this site, this community would not exist.

I keep coming back here because it's not a clusterfuck like big social media sites and there are people here (including yourself), that have open minds and post content that I find intriguing and might not see somewhere else.

I don't agree with every decision magnora has made over the last few years, but I believe it was his decision to make. I think this site has not devolved into a reddit or a voat thanks to his efforts. I have stated some of my reservations to him, and I think you've made yours. Ultimately, just because you feel passionate about an issue, doesn't make it right or wrong, nor does it mean magnora has to take action on it.

I agree with Node that maybe taking a step back would be a good thing for you both.

:)

If that's what the legit users of the site want, then Who cares. You let leftist shit fill up the front page without issues.

remove actual spam. remove porn, remove bots, but policing site content outside of established rules? we left reddit for a reason.

and there are people here (including yourself), that have open minds and post content that I find intriguing and might not see somewhere else.

as long as it isn't hitler memes, amirite?

Are you just trying to stir up drama?

The removal of spam and bots doesn't fit you political agenda? Gimme a break.

Didn't you come in with IP2 where all they did was call each other nigger like a bunch of 13 year olds?

don't misrepresent me. I love that spam and bot content is removed. I offered to help do it.

no, i didn't. I was here long before them. But keep up with your dehumanising and attempts to label me so that you can then justify your bad behaviours.

spam and bot content should be removed. But when you start removing straightforward, pyramid compliant discussions because you don't like the people posting them, then you have gone too far and become yet another power tripping admin. So cliche

I not going to justify shit to you. Nor do I care what you have to say.

There's something wrong with you.

Looks like your just trying to stir up drama.

Why don't you go complain to someone else?

I don't care.

no, because integrity isn't your thing.

/u/d3rr, imho you’re the most rational and the last member of the team I find approachable on SaidIt staff. Can you please speak to the rest of the team about them being above and acting more mature than regular users, having more responsibility, not inciting more drama by attempting to insult one and insulting another or more, and lastly, going tit for tat with other users?

I just got hit in cross-fire because an admin was trying to insult someone else (and tbh, I don’t agree with Bobby very often.. but I feel this comment thread is a perfect example of the tit for tat attitude admins here have that need to disappear).

Thanks for the vote of confidence man but I quit admining a while back. Admins should be held to a higher standard, and the tit for tat stuff is toxic. Policy and code is too much for me, so I wash my hands of all policy shit.

I remember that, but you’re still a respected part of the team, m7 would lend you his earn concerning this wouldn’t he? And asking your admins to act professional, not go tit for tat/bite bait/sink down to a user’s level and actually try to insult them, isn’t that much of an ask and would go a long way.

I understand if you feel it’s not your problem anymore though. Thanks for even responding lol. I hope you’re doing well!
