All of SaidIt is controlled by one dictator with an ego, magnora7.

Dude, we see m7 briefly every few months... not exactly an iron fist of control there.

Jason is the kind of person who says he wants freedom by limiting it and then proceed to complain about it cause he's restricted.

Gravi is the kind of person who says shit he doesn't know anything about proceeding to fool no one.

Shit poster indeed.

He's not let go of the reigns though has he?

[–]Musky 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Why would he, Saidit is his property.

I'm not denying that he owns SaidIt or that he has final say.

However, he's clearly a hypocrite that claims to desire the fostering of a free-thinking truth-seeking community while doing little to nothing to help folks in the SaidIt community achieve those goals. He's never drafted a charter, provided a roadmap, nor offered any substantial plans for moving forward - much less developed a public relations team and strategy. He can't even openly discuss his ideas, have them challenged and improved, and manifest any consensus or compromise. He hands down dictates because he's not a leader and should step out of the way for those who can. That's exactly what's stifling SaidIt, generating forum slide, and preventing meaningful purposeful growth.

He is pretty hands-off. In the earlier days there were some stricter rules regarding the pyramid of debate, but not as much anymore. Nowadays it's pretty much only spam and things that could get saidit in trouble.

Being hands-off, after he's established arbitrary bullshit - and still not letting the community self-regulate, is not the same as letting the community freely determine its own course.

Right now it functions more like a minarchy. Which is certainly preferrable to direct democracy.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Bullshit.
He's still dictator - and direct democracy minarchy is preferable to a micro-tyrant's minarchy.

Even if my say is not embraced, I'd rather have a say in things in a community's direct democracy.
Besides his ego, there are absolutely ZERO legitimate reasons why the community can't have a say.

A minarchy is preferable to the other shit, which is why I'm still here.

It's kind of hard to not have a dictator on a website. Someone has to own it.

I honestly would prefer m7 to the community currently. Normally I wouldn't say that, but at the moment most of the users here don't support free speech.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Owning a site and being a dictator are not inextricably related. I'll prove that soon enough.

The forum slide and current userbase is 100% due to M7.

If you have free-thinking and truth-seeking then you don't need "free speech" as it's good qualities are inherent.

I'm going to post more in /s/Autonomy, today and in the future.
