Saidit rules are the rules for saidit. Have been for 3 years. Nothing has changed.

We're not going to allow stuff on saidit that break federal laws, sorry. Not happening. That's how sites get shut down, and we value actual free speech enough to not let lunatics hijack the actual conversation by putting this site in legal jeopardy, which would shut down everyone's free speech.

With great respect for your service to humanity, you appear to concede that "free speech" is in the eye of the beholder, and so some degree of arbitrary censorship is necessary if not desirable, if only in view of the realities of politics today in the context of resurging authoritarianism against which free speech is the only bulwark.

Free speech is great. Hundreds of automated bots spewing controversial nonsense is not great for free speech.
