What do you think about TheAmeliaMay (saidit admin) thinking about reporting us to the FBI? "I might have to report him to the FBI..."

I was at the grocery store with my husband yesterday, and we chose not to get a basket--only there to get ONE thing, afterall. Well, several items and a couple with their arms loaded down later, we decide to head to checkout. While I love my husband dearly, he's clumsier than I am (an actual feat for someone that routinely trips on her own legs while walking) so when he began reaching for a drink on a higher shelf with already burdened arms-- I asked him if he really felt like tempting fate. Mutual smiling eyes were shared, and lo, a few steps later he scrambled and dropped shit.

You took this one kinda far, friend. No one wants to be threatened, but you probably should have messaged Magnora about it.

I did, but heard nothing back for hours. So it is what it is. If saidit is no longer a valid commenting site, then this would be a good time to know.

I don't know if I'm the oldest account still here besides Magnora, but having admins threaten to report users to the FBI should be pretty unacceptable, no matter how mentally ill they are. I would miss all the good people still remaining here who haven't been banned yet.

Communities.win doesn't seem too bad so far. Bobby went to the site I left because of admin fuckery, but those admins haven't changed, and the other 5 sites I have accounts on don't have the great user interface of saidit. I've been heavily neglecting my game library, so that might be a fun way to spend my time. Plus now that I have two working arms again, I have some gardening to get going.

It's been awhile since I've been to stores, because the only open businesses are run by maskers. Just got a $365 delivery from Instacart yesterday, which is the only way to get food (and alcohol!) for people not in the mask cult.

Cheers!

You could have made your points without going for shitty personal attacks though.

Hi Jason. Can I get your thoughts on this recent shut down? Who am I to believe?

Magnora

it was just an accidental shut down by the host and I was doing family stuff while it happened

or TheAmeliaMay (TAM)

(I was able to remove the death threat SaidIt was allegedly taken down for. I banned the user (one of Loki's iron right alts), but it's only a matter of time until he makes another account

I'm trying to determine if saidit has a future or if it's wiser to just move on to other projects.

Thanks for asking.

You are right to be in doubt. Despite both meaning well, M7 has proven himself a liar on occasion and TAM is unreliable on a few levels.

I don't think I'm out of line repeating what d3rr shared with me, in summary: M7 forgot to pay the bill. Typically I don't like sharing private details but the content and the source are important and credible.

https://GetSession.org to join the chat for developing the next step, though there's not much happening there now. Regardless, hang tight a little longer. Stay tuned to /s/Cassy and /s/PhoenixForum for new stuff. I haven't been good with Linux since 1998 and I have very limited means, but we're trying out some stuff, painfully. That's why I've been quiet/busy. If I can set up an old home indie server, anyone can.

You are one of the good ones, so I hope you'll weigh in when we start posting stuff in /s/Cassy regarding how we want to branch out as a community. There's so much more to discuss than just technical stuff. I can't speak for everyone, but personally I don't want SaidIt to fail nor flounder, even when we evolve - and I think SaidIt still has a strong central role to play. It is what it is, with strengths and weaknesses, to be respected and learned from. We're still all on the side of resistance to tyranny.

Thanks for the information.

Sounds plausible. I'm going to go ahead and trust you and d3rr on it.

s/cassy

I've followed. Thanks for the recommendation. I've been chatting both with online groups and some of my IRL friends about the desperate need for a truly decentralized ranked choice reddit/saidit style platform. Glad to see something is in the works. I'm going to follow it closely. Seems like it will need to be guided by people that truly believe in the idea and then people willing to sever the cord so to speak and let it truly grow independently. If the original team that designs it allows too many backdoors or could become a future vector of subversion/takedown. Seems like a successful 'cassy' would need to be anti-fragile in it's design parameters and the initial community will need to have an antifragile philosophy as intelligence services, government, companies, trolls, and bad actors attempt to subvert or destroy her in cradle. I wish you luck on the project and will do what I can to support you! I think that if the core design makes sense you will probably be inundated with anon donors quite quickly...

My frustrations with my old tech has me on the verge of shouting out for funding assistance for a newer server. I'm not anon, nor a systems IT guy, but I can host the first instance of our federation for testing and for others to join. I understand why many chose to be anon and we need to accept, embrace, and utilize them. So part of our goals are to have ways for anon folks to also participate, securely for all involved.

I could have, but it was still on the extreme mild end considering the circumstances. Others might not have been so restrained.
