Beats me. I noticed that the servers were alive again, so I undid the redirect.

Where is M7? If these servers are his responsibility and he maintains ultimate control over whether saidit lives or dies, we need to understand better what's going on. There are some productive conversations on here (amid the usual 99% crap of any site), but the instability of not knowing if this is a durable platform does create a lot of stress.

As the others have said, thank you D3 for being the most stabilizing force on here.

this is one of the main problems with a sole proprietorship.. if the owner dies, the entire business crumbles.

this website should be setup to have multiple directors or some other similar structure.

rest in peace, m7

Particularly when the purpose of the venue is the group interaction, I agree that sole proprietorship is a weird model. That said, it's also hard to see how to maintain relatively consistent guidelines without a single guiding mind maintaining a unified philosophy. I can see it both ways.

But from a practical point of view, it may be more pressure than any individual could handle.

If you read this, M7, I do deeply appreciate the effort you have put in here and hope you are well. If the stresses of the position are overwhelming you, I recommend letting it go. Other speech venues will appear one way or another. It's not worth destroying yourself over.

Just let us know what to expect moving forward.

M7 is waiting for a buyout offer for saidit.. if saidit were to become a noticeable nuisance for the other major social media outlets, it would be reasonable to think that he could receive a twenty five million dollar buyout offer.

M7 is waiting for the money, nothing else.
