What is your motivation behind posting the content you do?

He's a known shill.

He's pretending to be a right winger.

The goal is to discourage left-leaning Reddit refugees from visiting.

There are plenty of intellectually honest right-wingers here; probably the majority in terms of comments.

The information war is trying to keep us all divided.

I am starting to agree, and I am thinking about pulling the plug on him. Especially since in his comments he is always insulting everyone and calling them names, which is dragging discussion down the pyramid of debate repeatedly. He posts hyper-divisive right-leaning content, almost nonstop, like 20 posts a day. If anyone is turning saidit in voat, it is him.

Whatever happened to saidit being a place open to ideas?

Seems like this is devolving back in to reddit pretty fast.

Our mission goal was to avoid this place becoming voat, and when someone is deliberately hijacking the site culture to drag it in a voat-like direction, what am I supposed to do? Just let the site become voat? If we're going to just let saidit become voat, then why have saidit at all?

We have the pyramid of debate for a reason, and if someone is repeatedly dragging discussion down it, that's worthy of a ban as well.

Chipit is very closely walking the line on both these things.

We have our rules for a reason. This isn't a free-for-all, nor has it ever been, because we saw what happened to voat (and many other sites) if they just let it be a total free-for-all and we're trying to avoid that fate.

I thought it was about creating an alternative to reddit's censorship. I guess you're just removing different view points and making a different type of voat/reddit.

No wonder r/watchredditdie started promoting ruqqus instead.

Like you? I guess when it's you it doesn't count, Chipit made a post using a pic of a book.

If you cared about people calling other's names you would have done something about Tom_Bombadil calling him a "known shill" (not even going in to deph about how disturbing and in bad faith that comment is). I guess the pyramid of debate doesn't matter then.

Well you thought wrong. This site used to be named antiextremes.com for a reason. It's not a free-for-all because we don't want to be voat either.

Open ideas are great.

Allowing open forums to be hijacked by divisive shills is self-sabotage.

Voat shut down for awhile for good reason. They were attacked by shills, who had been taking advantage of the permissive nature of the site, and permanently ruined the site culture.

Scumbags like Chipshit are here to sabotage and ruin this place. They're here to drag down the conversation.

It's intellectual pollution.

right... shills are people you disagree with, very simple.
