As a moderator of the sub in question, it's obvious we are kept off s/all because magnora does not want SaidIt to appear to be an alt-right site. He found a bad excuse to take use off, but the reality is all of these "free-speech" alternatives eventually get overrun by dissident-right types because we are the most censored. So, it's sort of a weird balance we have to strike where we need a home but are also censored by the pro-"free-speech" alternatives we migrate to.

I don't really blame magnora for taking us off - I just wish him and the other admins would be more honest about what they're doing. Or give us some deal with more stringent rules, whatever. We like getting visitors who aren't alt-right already

That's not it. It's a matter of domination by numbers. If every other post is from one large sub then it's dominating the front page.

I also hate it when people are lazy and only post in /s/conspiracy or /s/politics when their posts can easily fit in more specific topical subs.

Perhaps removing those subs from /s/All may be in order too, thus forcing folks to be more selective about where they post.

Of course a master list or few about categorized sub topics would be handy and worth promoting.

Magnora has told us he just thinks the name is bad for the brand.

FTR, magnora literally said

I regularly see news items posted in the sub that have nothing to do with debating or alt-right, things that could easily be posted in /s/news instead. It seems there is an effort to make sure this site is framed as an alt-right site, by making sure this sub is on the front page regularly, and I don't want that for saidit because it undermines the quality of the website.

THIS

This is what I was saying. Your community may post in other topical subs without being sidelined. If you did that then your ideas would spread and the /s/DebateAltRight would be only about debating Alt-Right ideas. If the number of DAR posts went down because all the posts were distributed to other subs then those other posts as well as the DAR posts would still be voted on their merits. With the DAR posts being less frequent then they might have a fair chance to be on /s/All among all the other posts, including the topical stuff that formerly would have been inaccurately categorized as DAR.

TL;DR: Escape the DAR bubble and contribute to all the subs and maybe DAR can join /s/All.
