saidit is not completely censorship-free either, though maybe it's better at least?

Site owner magnora7 is quite censorious and will make up new rule violations if he doesn't like your content, though it has been much better lately since he has not been on in several months. Spam, porn, and advocating violence are the only things I've seen acted on lately by the current mods, which is pretty reasonable compared to other options of sites like this

I agree with those points. Who want a site filled with that but then again since the 70s drug generation it's all gone downhill so without those things you lose a majority of population that have a sick twisted mind (which to them is normal)

since he has not been on in several months

did something happen?

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (14 children)

I think he does not like the community this site attracted. He apparently spends his time on Reddit now, as other users see him there regularly still. He now forgets to pay the hosting and TLS fees, and the site goes down every few months for a few hours while the admins contact him to make the payment

Hm. Has reddit changed to be more to his liking since he made this place?

I really don't know. He used to censor a bunch of the racial stuff, and he would also censor any comedic or satirical posts that were even remotely sexual. He seemed very easily offended, and I have no idea why he would start a site like this given my interactions with him. There are other users that have been here longer that know him better than I do that might be able to answer this better

I used to read sometimes around the time of the george floyd riots. From what I remember he and d3rr seemed onboard with that agenda, so maybe they are happy with the changes various more mainstream places have implemented now?

Why was he banned from reddit originally, that's why he started this place right? He probably posted about it somewhere on here. ... found some old posts re this: 1 2 3

Well it seems he censors some. If I really want to understand why I'd have to do more digging.

d3rr got frustrated with magnoras management and quit as the site admin. d3rr is actually still around and using the site under a different username, though I am not sure he wants me to identify him. He has not been on board with the arbitrary censorship. As far as Magnora, I really don't know much about his personal business, just observations of his management

It's nice to know that at least some of the team doesn't like the arbitrary censorship.

Well hopefully we'll figure it as a species re censorship etc. I like to think we've made some progress in that direction and can continue to.

I hope so. It's a very strange environment for free speech right now. ACLU type liberals, who historically have defended even the right of the KKK to march, are now promoting censorship, and it's now the conservatives defending it, it's all very strange to me.

I didn't know this, wow. That's certainly very different from what some people have been doing lately. That's how democracy was supposed to work, right, everyone gets to be informed and make their own decision? It's nice to know it seems strange to others too.

I'll give you a few examples of his shadowbans.

He shadowbanned debateAltright

He shadowbanned s/boobs for having pictures of clothed women with nice boobs (and birds like the blue-footed boobie), despite not breaking any of the sites rules

he shadowbanned another users s/I'dFuckHer sub where he posted clothed women he found attractive, which also clearly wasn't in violation of any of the sites rules

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

I am not a fan of boobs I think it's stupid at best that women think they are being somehow 'funny' and 'expressive' when they try to show them. To me it shows how they feel inwardly which is they feel they always have to 'prove a point' and can't just accept being what they are so they have to 'please' the sexual crowd.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I wasn't trying to make a statement about whether or not the boobs sub is good, my point was that there wasn't anything in the rules against it, but magnora banned it anyway, and did not even bother to update or clarify the rules, and that this is no way to manage a site

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I know that I just said it's pretty gross. I'm not against them doing that kind of sub if they don't try to shove it in your face.

[–]panel30 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Interesting. Is there someplace cases like these are recorded?

debatealtright is visible now, he must have un-shadow-banned it at some point later? what happened?

Sort of. This is a list of the subs that don't show up on s/all (our shadowbanning)

https://saidit.net/subs/notall/

Now some of these subs are self-quarantined because they are meant to be private. Others such as s/incels had a moderator that refused to follow the site rules (they banned people for non-rule violations) and so were removed from all. Magnora also would put subs he didn't like on this list without notifying anyone.

debatealtright is visible now, he must have un-shadow-banned it at some point later? what happened?

Yeah, it started showing up again maybe two months ago, after many months of being being removed from s/all. I'd be surprised if it was magnora that unhid them, as he hasn't been around when it came back up. I am not one of the regulars in that sub, so I don't know the details. send_nasty_stuff (the sub admin) or one of the regulars there would be able to tell you more about it. Or maybe Zapped, as he is the most active of the current site admins

You should notice, on the other hand, that he mostly gives you a lot of leeway otherwise, even though anybody even "half-way"-sane knows, that 90% of your posts are as unappealing, as yellow-press itself is.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

Magnora? No he doesn't, he just hasn't been here in 6 months
