A question. What would everyone like to see libertarian community online & what are your thoughts on the successes/failures of other libertarian communities online specifically on Reddit?

Hey I'm sorry. Off topic, and I'm new here. But does saidit have an app client? And how do I post pictures in my post?

The sooner society moves towards a focus on rigor, particularly in academics and philosophy, the sooner we'll move away from totalitarian nonsense.

My take is its better than many left policies, even on the better side, but still very wrong. left just hope this nation takes a turn away from the left in the next election. We need to take back the universities and the media, without these we will head to a dark place.

Who here supports or opposes UBI? Why do you hold this belief?

In terms of a libertarian community, I was honestly appealed to by the community on GoldandBlack, but the community was so fragmented over on Reddit that larger discussions simply didn't happen. The fragmentation was partly due to the chapo's and admins tearing up subs on one side, and partly due to nationalists and their "I like freedom, but" on the other side.

I would say that condensing the budding Saidit libertarian communities into one or two, and rounding up everyone already on the site would be a good first step. Maintaining a stringently consistent moderation system would reduce some of the issues that eventually ruined r/Libertarian.

So first, condense the groups, let's have all of us here on Saidit in one or two subs. Second, develop a moderation platform, decide what does or does not fly. Third, let's get some content rolling out, whether it's discussions on topics, a compilation of essays/books, a wiki, or memes/news articles with conversation below. Once all of that is done, appealing to the more desirable subs on reddit would draw its better posters to here. The goal the whole time is to reduce the risk of chapo's or natties from showing up early on.

I've always said I am a lowercase L libertarian and not an uppercase L libertarian. I like libertarian ideals, but the Libertarian party is, by and large, nuts. There are too many fringe groups that seemingly speak for the entire group. You wind up with people arguing for pedophilia and that everything should be made legal and other nonsense that won't work in the real world.

I think that's why so few people take libertarian communities seriously. You wind up with the kooks and lunatics crafting the message (at least the most audible message) and that turns a lot of people off. You can't build a coalition when you're alienating the vast majority of people out there.

Austrian School economist, historian, and sociologist. Mises wrote and lectured extensively on behalf of classical liberalism. He is best known for his work on praxeology, a study of human choice and action.

Original, but slang.

Thanks!

Capitalism_is_Magic · 2019-04-22T14:20:35+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. Well see how things play out, do you have any advice/ideas on what you would like to see develop here?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_von_Mises

Ludwig Heinrich Edler von Mises (1881–1973) was an Austrian School economist, historian, and sociologist. Mises wrote and lectured extensively on behalf of classical liberalism. He is best known for his work on praxeology, a study of human choice and action.

Mises emigrated from Austria to the United States in 1940. Since the mid-20th century, the libertarian movement in the United States has been strongly influenced by Mises's writings. Mises's student Friedrich Hayek viewed Mises as one of the major figures in the revival of liberalism in the post-war era. Hayek's work "The Transmission of the Ideals of Freedom" (1951) pays high tribute to the influence of Mises in the 20th century libertarian movement.

Mises's Private Seminar was a leading group of economists. Many of its alumni, including Hayek and Oskar Morgenstern, emigrated from Austria to the United States and Great Britain. Mises has been described as having approximately seventy close students in Austria. The Ludwig von Mises Institute was founded in the United States to continue his teachings.

I support this. Please also be aware of:

There are probably others. Many subs have little activity.

Welcome! Cool username.

Capitalism_is_Magic · 2019-04-20T13:57:01+00:00

It would be nice to be one of the OG use of the next Reddit. I still remember the move to reddit and how great it was almost ten years ago. It all ended with Elen Pao, revolting against her was the last fun thing that happened as a community on Reddit. Hopefully, all the cool kids will move here along with the party.

Hope this website takes off
