Welcome back. The posts linked below will catch you up on what's been happening here, why Musky and bobby are gone too, and how the troll provoked 'saidit' into attacking itself.

Successful troll was successful. Whoever is running that op is clever.

Stop hitting yourself.

Thanks. Bob3 was 50% insightful and 50% asstroll whom I won't miss. Majorly bummed about Musky. Was he asking for it? Was he in a M7 meltdown death spiral who being childish won't ever step away? Seems I have some reading to do. Thanks for the links! I'll read them this eve.

Shame that Airbus troll, Chipit bot, and socks shill are still here.

Musky got banned for a joke that didn't sit well with M7. I'm bummed as well. To the point where I won't be participating in this site anymore(not that anyone will notice). Anyway, welcome back and feel free to PM me about anything. I always appreciate your insight.

Must have been a very good joke. Or bad joke. Or very good bad joke. Or simply piercing to the ugly truth.

I WILL NOTICE!!! And I'm quite sure others will too! Please don't give up just yet. There's MUCH more to SaidIt than just the owner. The content and community are superlative. I have one more post and then I'm done on this front and should be in the clear thereafter. I've never held back, so to say I'm going to start filtering or censoring myself would be inaccurate. I'm just changing course, and I firmly believe you will be a critical part of that. If I had a trusted-team you'd be on it. Further, for what it's worth I will un-censor and archive my last post on my blog, not that a week old interrupted/censored discussion is worth much now. If anyone (/u/Enza ?) has access or an archive of the Musky event I can post that too. If anyone cares, I can share what DioJr shared with me too, limited as it is.

I won't say "trust the plan", but I will tell you my plans and together we can finesse them so that we can not just "build back better" but actually make a secure future for all of us. Assuming folks even want it. SaidIt has been a wonderful meeting ground and it can be a stepping stone or even a launch pad to our better future. In addition to being a forum, wiki, community, and website, SaidIt is also a utility worth utilizing until something else comes up.

I'll be here for the foreseeable future but if you dissect recent event, there is fuckery afoot and a lot of conflating regular users who aren't that controversial with smear campaigns from trolls who want to discredit the site and its userbase. I think M7 needs a better perspective on things and a more balanced approach to moderation(as in apply the rules evenly for every user and stop fabricating accusations when he has no concrete evidence of wrongdoing). If he was honest with himself and his users, he would address these issues and be receptive to his users' input instead of unilaterally dropping the banhammer on those few that have irked him.

I'm grateful to him for providing this space but it's only as good as the regular contributors that post quality content. Without them, it's just pills and tech spam. That's why I'll stand idle in the meantime while this crap gets sorted out(if ever). Think of it as a silent, peaceful way of protesting.

^ THIS, A MILLION PERCENT.

Except maybe the idle part. Help organize the solutions. After my post today I'm done with the problems to focus on solutions.

OK. Maybe not 100% idle. You might've just swayed me with your unflappable optimism. :)

If you didn’t see them already, here are the archives you’re asking for (they’re purely neutral though, it’s just an archiving of events, no negative or positive commentary associated, nor finger pointing):
