I think the lack of censorship here on topics related to people of the Jewish persuasion was "too uncensored" for the moderation staff.

I always have to laugh at people who complain about censorship against them, and then complain about not enough censorship against others. Hopefully that wasn't the case with these folks though.

I think it's just that people want to have their own site, but fail to realize that people don't want to have to visit a separate site for every single topic.

Could be, and I agree / it's a bit tiresome - but at the same time the "solution" to niche interest sites (reddit, etc) have not exactly resulted in more free speech. Freedom and privacy are always being traded away for convenience, and most people are happy to do it.

People want to be where there's activity. That's not SaidIt for better or worse. It's really that simple, I don't know what's the basis for every other conjecture.

I'm not crazy about visiting separate sites, but it has some potential benefits in terms of being (slightly) decentralized.
