Saidit's 'free speech' is under attack from the new admin, who is of course a tranny. Check the moderation logs and see individual user posts to see what is being removed and ask yourself "is this level of censorship in line with saidit's rules, or are they serving a personal agenda'.

The main point here is to put as much power in the hands of the end user as possible. By empowering users, we can give them the ability to filter or control any content they want or don't want to see.

Only in the case of egregious abuse should users be banned or groups removed. I suppose you could remove certain groups from the front page that are known for extremely edgy content but not to the extend of deserving a site ban (which could be added back on a per-user basis by subscribing). The emphasis should be minimal moderation with effective filtering.

In the end, a good system will propel Saidit forward or relegate it to the fate of a dead site. You can't let it remain stale.

Agreed! You sound like a big part of my MetaVote idea. Metatags and filters are key. Big data has it, but we don't - yet.

You mean like hashtags? I kind of like how http://notabug.io works, where you can instantly create a sub just by posting. Problem is that site is flawed in moderation and voting mechanisms.

Honestly I just hate hard limits. The ability to create instant subs with no limitation is an amazing freedom (really it's just a form of hashtagging anyways). The fewer limits you impose, the greater your site came become. Also the more popular it can become if correctly implemented.
