M7 was the one who originally took s/debatealtright off of s/all, according to u/cisheteroscum. (a mod there) This ain't new drama; the mods on DAR decided that, since Magnora's jumped ship, they might could get back on s/all, but FRB said no.

Just like anyone else, we have no idea wtf is going on with magnora. I don't know how he can "jump ship" and SaidIt can still be a thing, considering he pays the bills. But still can't explain why he hasn't showed up in a month either

the mods on DAR decided that

Send_nasty_stuff just noticed it was as easy as checking a box to put us on /all. He checked the box to include us, and made a post about it. There wasn't much of a consultation with other mods. When fred_red_beans removed us again, we all agreed to just not do anything and leave it as it was.

Basically a random event with little co-ordination

I pointed that out to him. He tried it for a bit and as predicted /s/All was dominated by the popular DAR posts, making SaidIt generally look like an Alt-Right website.

I understand. Like I said elsewhere - we like SaidIt, we want to stay - but we know we are a dominant user base that would affect the front page under normal conditions. If we need to be de-facto censored for the benefit of the site, then that's OK - but I want magnora to be honest about that and we'd like to have specific rules or something such that we can have our forum but also have certain posts visible to non-Alt-Right people so they can share their opinions too

The mistake that magnora made was the accusation of intent on our part in making SaidIt look like a specifically alt-right site. There is no such conspiracy, we simply didn't do anything wrong.

All rationally well stated.

He stoops to making bad accusations when he can't justify himself. I understand his reluctance as well as your dilemma and sympathize with both views.

There is no such conspiracy, we simply didn't do anything wrong.

Unless I'm missing something, this seems generally obvious, so I agree, but it doesn't help when dramatists inauthentically claim they're victims or threaten scorched earth tantrums.
