Could be paid people/bots trying to undermine the site. I suspect Facebook or Google's language model would be adequate for generating such content.

What’s to stop them from undermining this fine establishment?

Obscurity (for now), and the critical thinking of you and I. Edit: It won't stop them from getting the site, but at least from getting to our minds.

Also the mute sub feature.

Yell and scream as loud as you want, racists, I can't hear you.

The mute sub feature is great, but I would also like it to be easier to mute individual users.

Yes, but they spill over into regular subs, and they create accounts in droves (perhaps autonatically), so it's pointless to ban them also.

I would fork Saidit to warn and auto-block people who consistently lower replies on the pyramid of debate.
