This is the reddit we knew was coming, and it will only get worse. I am glad we have saidit.

I wonder what in particular inspired them to make this change...

..... owned by China

Probably. I wonder if they're doing it to cut down on "misinformation" about the pandemic at Tencent's request, or something like that

One hand has the coronavirus in it, the other the 2020 election.

Yeah, true, it could just as easily be ShareBlue influence or something like that, who knows.

If HeyImSancho is correct, and it sounds plausible, the CoronaVirus is the catalyst that is directly tied to the potential collapse of the West.

That would be nice, but it's hard to say. This virus has the potential to cull the urban herd considerably; which could actually postpone the collapse of the west by reshaping politics towards more rural/nationalistic values.

LOL. Nice - at a dramatic cost.

Right? It's still doomed anyways due to unsound fundamentals, entrenched corruption, and screwed demographics; so I'd rather just get it over with rather instead of plodding along living dead style as it has been for the past 10+ years.

Owned by jews, sold to communism, also, made by jews.

[–][deleted] 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

The Jew that helped make it was the one that turned it into a free speech platform. I doubt tgat he intended to bait and switch, they pushed him out of the company.

[–]kokolokoNightcrawler 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

A juice made something free...It's like an oxymoron, innit....I myself don't remember Reddit being a free speech zone...ever....But then again I was more frequenting the chans to be able to take real notice.

[–][deleted] 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

Yeah they harped on respecting free speech for a few years there before the decline started.

Aaron Swartz was a cool libertarian dude, maybe check out this doc about him: https://tube.4aem.com/videos/watch/d5a426b8-6081-4dcb-8e31-1810f668161f

He also helped develop RSS and some other stuff. And he stole taxpayer funded research papers to publish for everyone.

Thanks for the link. Most of the tribe aren't even consciously aware the devil works directly through them...The lust for power and money above all else is not strictly limited to the tribe, but it is in their DNA. The pact was made long ago. Having said that, like my grandad did in WW2, I'd defend life and property of every single jew with my life. Only bigger mistake than having business with the tribe is trying to kill the tribe. Jesus was jewish. He was Gods message to the Lucifer that thousands of years of planning to corrupt all of humanity is not nearly as powerful as a single image of Him walking amongst us, showing us the way of goodness. It may sound like something out of a cheap fantasy novel, but I came to truly believe it as I see that the 1% of the devils own are in 100% of places of power and influence at all times.

Thank you magnora7 for Saidit, really cool site and well thought, I love the pyramid of debate idea

[–]magnora7 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

No problem, glad you enjoy it and find it useful!

[–]AnarchySpeach 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (6 children)

I am glad we have saidit.

What's to stop saidit from going down the same dark road?

[–]magnora7 10 insightful - 4 fun10 insightful - 3 fun11 insightful - 4 fun -  (3 children)

We don't have ads, our costs are low so we don't need any investors, and I and d3rr won't allow it. So we have several layers of protection against this dark road

[–][deleted] 6 insightful - 3 fun6 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

Lmao, Voat took the complete opposite route of you and d3rr and it ruined their site. They were a duo too; Atko was one of two owners, after he left Voat went to shit, fast. An "Angel Investor" who would not be named came into the picture like a vulture as soon as Atko left.

Their "transparency" policy went out the window when that happened.

[–]magnora7 13 insightful - 3 fun13 insightful - 2 fun14 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

Yup we've tried very hard to learn from voat's mistakes, because they were supposed to be the chosen one that would save us from reddit and instead it got hijacked by extremists. That's why we initially named the site "antiextremes.com", in reference to avoiding the extremes of both reddit (censorship) and voat (letting extremists take over). It's worked out well so far, especially since our finances are balanced. Voat has $6k/mo in Azure licensing fees alone, before any server or domain costs. That programming choice ended up creating financial conditions that eventually cost them control of the site. Our low costs will keep us from needing that "angel investor" which ensures we can keep going in the direction we've been going for a long time to come.

Yet the extremes among us - myself included, are here - and have been here. I think the key good design decision you guys implemented that makes this platform fundamentally superior is the lack of downvotes.

It means if you express an unpopular opinion 2 people agree with, and 100 people disagree with - you're sitting at 3, not -97 (suppressed comment). Karma as used on reddit and voat are censorship mechanics. Here it's "Funny" or "Insightful" - not "I disagree, be buried".

If we're ever gotten to, take our code and make a new saidit. the code is arguably more important than saidit itself. we have a goal of providing our site data as well.

of course like m7 said we're trying our damndest to prevent being gotten to.

HEROES, both of you, M7D3 ! ! !

To honour you I'll raise a virtual statue of you guys after I find out what you look like.
