I haven't been keeping up either. IMO, limited as it is, this place changed when Voat died. Perhaps it's just my own perceptions.

Though I firmly believe he was one of the good ones, I don't know enough about the incident to start a campaign for DioJr, but from the limited amount I have seen it's typical of M7. Please assk me more questions about it when I soon post about how I'm quitting SaidIt. That way I can answer verbosely without it being a direct attack on M7. I've been delayed as my back pain is slowly fading and my faculties are slowly returning some clear thinking. I'm excited to share my huge new plans, but I wonder if this is even the best place to do it now. I know of none better. I'm also pretty sure that I'll likely be doing most of these projects by myself, leading by example, until people are convinced there's value in these projects, or word of mouth spreads, or if someone brings a better community to my attention.

I know nothing of the PDL. Sounds like cryptos trying to infiltrate and infest. Where did they come from? Feel free to ping me on them, or any other issue.

PM me the project ideas if you want early feedback/suggestions.

Announcing your departure is unnecessary, awkward, and unseemly.

It's a bit self aggrandizing. Not that it's your intention, but there are plenty of haters who are glad to poop in the pool. Like chipshit.

I think many usernames are only a handful of people that're trying to mess up the site.
Don't bother to give the shills any satisfaction.
Don't burn bridges.

M7 is in a difficult position. He has very few red lines, but we're all human.
He's more tolerant than I, which is admirable. Cause I'm an armchair tolerator.

If solving these issues was easy, then he'd probably solve them.
I'm not apologizing for him; nor condemning him.

I know nothing of the PDL.

Yeah, I'm being facetious.

Did you check out the recent OTO posts? They have a gay/pedo offense league in Australia.

Literally a gay police unit with a supporting cadre of gay judges. And censorship laws "D-listing" (IIRC) suppressing the info.

Also, don't announce your departure. That's gay.

I've been tempted to draft it all in a wiki or directly on WikiSpooks where much if not all of it will ultimately end up as my largely non-encyclopedic wiki projects.

You have a very keen nose to sniff out the shit I've thrown down. I'm quitting SaidIt, but it's not what you think, and I'm not quitting so much as making some major shifts. Further, it's overly dramatic on purpose. Clickbait. I want votes/eyes and opinions and feedback on these upcoming decisions on a myriad of projects I will propose. When the dust settles, my fate will be largely decided, and those who give a shit can help, follow, collaborate, etc. and the rest can go back to whatever it is they do. If no one gives a shit, I even have plans for that too.

My current dilemma is organizing all of this, then boiling it down into summaries, pitches, and presentations. My "Why I'm Quitting SaidIt" is currently boiled down to a series of 15 posts that I will share soon.

I don't aim to burn any bridges. I would like to see DioJr's bridge restored. M7 has taken on this challenge and done well, though not great. Pros and cons. If asked, I will offer my honest balanced opinion for the sake of constructive critical analysis. M7 may not like them, but that's on him. He's chosen his burdens, never bothered to ask for help nor delegated much. A monarchy at least has a feudal structure supporting it. A dictatorship too. M7 is neither, and IMO he's coasting as a barely adequate manager without goals. Or none that I've seen. I've only restrained from more open criticism for the sake of SaidIt and the ideals it stands for, stale as they are. I'll never try to take down SaidIt. In fact several of my proposal projects are about fostering the next steps beyond SaidIt, with or without M7, preferably with, with everyone* as equals. Evolution, not revolution or anything like that. These will likely take years - if anyone actually bothers to come on board to developing them. If nothing else, they may at least be some foundations for others to build on.

" Did you check out the recent OTO posts? They have a gay/pedo offense league in Australia. "

All of that is Greek-style to me. First I'm hearing of it.

I'm not departing. Just quitting what I've been doing (following current events, sharing, and edutaining - all important) to do something else here (cleaning up, manifesto making, planing and organizing, and critical content creation - better use of my skills) - leading by example (time to direct again). First, long overdue, I'll be inviting /s/friends who have earned my trust to co-mod and then I'll un-mod myself from most of my subs. That's among other SaidIt sub awareness, ideas, projects, etc. If folks don't engage with feedback on these sub ideas it's their community and their loss, and I have many more projects I'm moving on to - that will all be interactive and shared on SaidIt (like blogs). I'm just unburdening myself of these sub considerations I've been developing for years. That's just the start, these sub ideas are only the first few of the "Quitting" posts, to make room for the grander ideas.
