Without taking down the cultural attack posts, why not give it a tag? or mods add a disclaimer before the content, saying that it’s a suspected attack and users should proceed with caution. Hoo boi, I can’t believe the deep web needs this much protecting...

IDK if there's any tag function on this site. The site admin plus some old users had been telling everyone ad nauseum that the best way to stop this is to post more other interesting stuff, like dog pictures and hobbies and the likes, so to make this place a platform of diverse interests and the cultural attack posts and racists posts would be drowned out. Somehow it's been futile.

For us the best thing would be that when we see lunatic extremist posts, do not engage. Just move on. If they're cultural attack posts, then we're adding to the problem and potentially helping to deplatform ourselves. If they're real extremists, then it's a waste of our time to talk to them anyway.

Mangora has said on all that we're abiding by the rules so leave us alone.

That's good enough for me.

Look, I prefer birds as pets, but I'm not about to spam the whole page with pictures of cute chickens or the eggs they lay. That is not the purpose of us being here.

True. I think most GC subs are only here for this sub and maybe some sister subs. I was talking more about the discussions of the other users of Saidit. They've been telling those new users--the ones who are here for free speech--to make the discussions on the platform more diverse in subjects.
