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 think we're saying the same thing. But as I said, our official cause for removal was not stated in such straightforward terms. I would just appreciate the honesty

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.

Actually I agree that that is a valid criticism of SaidIt, and of our sub in particular. On Reddit, we were used to being quarantined and being a smaller community (relative to the overall size of reddit) so people posted directly to the sub to get our takes on whatever was happening. People still do this as if that is the case, when posts probably belong elsewhere on saidit. We should be making a bigger effort to branch out into other subs (but would magnora even want that?)

Agreed.

In almost all of the subs I've created or moderated I've created lists of "Related Subs" to make people aware of some topics people may not know existed - and so they can know they have a place to post stuff.

I can't speak for M7 or anyone, but I would want that.

I think M7 and my political views are very very similar and not extremist unless you consider wanting less centralized and corrupt power (minarchist/voluntaryist) to be extremist. I believe he likes civil debates with unique views on things even more than I do. I like being exposed to new ideas but my patience wears out with endless debates, especially when it may be better to agree to disagree and recognize that many different views may simultaneously be valid.
