The userbase of Saidit came to this website in order to escape from the oppressive policing of speech, (and the hysteria of identity politics) that destroyed Reddit. That was the entire purpose of Saidit, as a bastion of sanity for free thinkers of every stripe.

Why did manora7 sabotage this website by selecting a moderator who 1) shows a preference for heavy handed policing 2) has a strong belief in identity politics?

For god sake, we came here to get away from the alphabet people! And now they are being given the power to suspend and ban us? What sillyness is this?

    Can you please stop insulting other users. Seriously. You are an admin. Either take admin action or don't, but stop stirring the pot

        I do try, but I tend to be quite antisocial from time to time, especially when people annoy me (and I'm known to have a short temper). But I don't want to be above the "commoners", because I am a commoner — from birth till death.

        But it's certainly not a good thing I call everyone "snowflakes" and "Commies" — and again: I try not to, but sometimes my antisocial tendencies get the better of me.

        Thank you, I appreciate it.

        commie, fragile snowflake

        That annoys me too because just calling someone X is literally at the bottom of the pyramid of debate. It's not valid debate.

        Hear, hear. Admins should be distant figures, not getting involved with petty drama. This is the sort of crap I expect someone who's immature.

        It's hard not to when everyone's constantly going through your profile to whine and cry about whatever offends them that day.

        Well many people don't like trans men specially those mtf

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

        Because they get easily offended by anything and everything.

        You got me, I'm a Nationalist! Go cry about it, Commie!

        You are a boy who identifys as a girl, are you not? That automatically puts you deep within the identity politics camp. You literally depend on their beliefs in order to justify your existence as a transsexual.

        The LGBT crowd are responsible for advocating censorship as a means to protect their ideology from criticism that they are not able to logically refute. They form the nucleus of the modern day authoritarian left.

        As such, it doesn't really matter whether you call yourself a nationalist. You are fundamentally at odds with the founding principles of the United States (such as free speech), and Western civilisation in general.

        And just an FYI, but my political beliefs would be regarded by most people as 'far right extremism.' You really, really missed the mark by denouncing me as a Commie. You would be much closer to the target by calling me a Nazi.

        SaidIt wasn't made to "get away from" LGBT people, it was made to get away from censorship. A lot of the censorship came from LGBT people

        Yes, and thats exactly the problem. The LGBT camp rely exclusively on censorship for their survival as a movement. They need to police free speech as a modus vivendi, otherwise they will be subjected to unbearable criticism. Alphabet people and censorship are as synonomous as ants and anthills.

        With all that being said, my original question remains: If Saidit is to be a bastion of free speech, then why did magnora7 place someone from the LGBT camp in charge as a moderator?

        Dude. Your profile says saiditer for 2 years, but if I'd read such on-point things from you before, you would have made it to my friends' list long ago! Where have you been hiding.

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

        Thanks. I'm not a prolific poster by any means, but I really do enjoy this website.

          The difference is in fact, total and absolute, they are furiously opposite one another. Please, if you don't understand a topic, let it go!

          [–]Airbus320 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

          Okay 👌

          Nazis stand for a solid morality grounded in the traditional values of the people, as well as a profoundly ethno-nationalist mentality.

          Communists stand for total degeneracy and the revocation of any traditions, as well as a completely miscengic, anti-nationalist, internationalist mentality.

          Absolutely opposite.

          YES! THIS! Insightful3 cubed!

          You have a site, you make some rules. But behind those rules, before they existed, there was... THE FUNDAMENTAL REASON for creating the site in the first place. You cannot ever forget that, like the IRS has forgotten the consitution. Nobody likes the IRS.

            As an admin, you do not have the right to insult users. You need to be held to a higher standard, which you cannot stick to, because you are still a child and lack the maturity for an admin position. As such, your presence as an admin here has rung the death knell for saidit.net.

            I just find it ironic that the far-right complains about left-wing snowflakes and acts just like them.

            Technically as an admin rules doesn't really apply to May. But I agree that admin should show higher standard otherwise they give the impression of a conflict of us against them which isn't a healthy relationship for a website.

            Hey so muskrat made this image: https://s01.geekpic.net/di-1M7AQZ.png

            And then he was spreading it around everywhere, trying to stir up drama. Trying repeatedly to frame me and this site as having taken a stance we did not take, with this faked image.

            And then a loki88 troll PMd me another fabricated image, that same hour, trying to frame another user (fschmidt), hosted on the same image service. https://s01.geekpic.net/di-DIB3B6.png

            So it became obvious muskrat is working with the trolls, this evidence is undeniable. Also in the last 2 days he posted about how great it is to have sex with 17 year olds, talks endlessly about the ironleft, stirring site drama , creating and promoting subs that are constantly pushing the boundaries of the rules... if it quacks like a duck, it might just be a duck.

            It's very unfortunate some people feel the need to go to such lengths to destroy this website and its reputation.

            This isn't a failure on my part, this is me removing people who are working hard to deliberately destroy this website. Once the evidence is clear, I had to act.

            I honestly disagree.
