There's some censorship going on in the newly popular feminist subs and it needs to be openly addressed.

I disagree that SaidIt should regulate what opinions are acceptable on the front page. And I strongly disagree that it's a problem if people with what seem like extreme views visit spaces for moderate politics.

Important truths have often been suppressed by being smeared as "extreme" or "vile" or whatever.

I think the pyramid of debate rule is supposed to be the way to get to high quality discussion on SaidIt, instead of doing viewpoint censorship. (though I do think some of that goes on too, which I don't like.)

I'm sure at some point in history some drunk, crazy, homeless, crackhead figured out an important truth and yelled it out at passers by... in the middle of a sea of other crazy, meth heads who were talking absolute rubbish. Should we let them all take centre stage of a platform designed for good discussions, or have some sort of code of conduct?

I don't think posts that essentially just say "da Jews dun did it" or look to frame every black person like they're an ape or a criminal have any place in reasonable discourse. Even under the pyramid of debate rule absolute nonsense can take over the site if extremist looms are allowed to take it over.

I don't want to see this platform become another Voat and it will.
