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.

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.

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.
