Why can't we get normies to join? Why's it always this type?

Hell if I know, probably because they're deliberately sabotaging the site and people who do that make a lot of noise. This guy will probably be banned soon tbh, he's already advocated mass violence once and thus has one strike. And I'm sure he'll cry about being a victim, as is the usual for types who advocate violence, and then will probably go on reddit and post about how saidit is full of censorship. It's a pattern I've seen replicated over a dozen times already. It's hard not to view it as a deliberate attack on the website when the pattern is repeated in such similar ways. Maybe this guy will be different, and realize after this first strike that violence advocation is not allowed here. I sure hope so. I guess we will see...

I'm not endorsing anything the guy posted but you should be happy that people see this site as a refuge from censorship. Not everyone is highly socialized and highly attuned to political correctness and the pyramid of debate (and that's a good thing).

I warned you 6 months that this site will go nowhere if you over police and attempt to turn it into another PC echo chamber. People will find other alternatives...

I agree, but if we let it be a free-for-all and let horrible people take over the site culture through sheer persistence, then people will also leave and find other alternatives... it's an impossibly thin line to walk. We are trying our best to balance it

This is true. I'm still here and still promote saidit because I think you are successfully walking this line but it's an easier line to walk when you're a smaller site.

Definitely. As it gets bigger the number of conflicting demands from the users becomes larger
