with a range of different mental states

So we're all crazy so that's why we believe "propaganda."...

Jason would be authoritarian liberal in the political compass, not right at all.

right-wing propaganda news media,

It's all propaganda one way or another, the right doesn't have a monopoly. The people who say these are artificial divisions meant to keep us from dealing with real issues may be onto something. Look at the left bullshit news, look at the right bullshit news, look at foreign bullshit news with their own foreign agenda (Agent Socks), and the truth is probably in the middle somewhere.

indeed could be purchased and turned into a very active site

Maybe, but that would destroy the whole reason you're here. There's one Muskrat to ~122 users here on an average day, ~177 on a good day. If you add 100,000 users, you do not get some percentage of extra Muskrats. You have one Muskrat out if 100,122 users now. A diluted value.

And it's not just me, but all the unique voices here. We don't get bolstered by adding people, we get drowned out and/or end up banned by the new masses joining, electronic gentrification.

You're spouting lies and misinfo. I'm a voluntaryist. Have been since before I came to SaidIt. Get your shit straight and dump the left-right bullshit. You're better than this.

Didn't read. Fuck off Jason, you spent all your good will. It's very telling you thought your little Canadian protest elevated you above the rest of us. I have no respect for you. You're a loser beneath my consideration.

Where are you even getting any of this from?

Has socks been whispering earworms into your brain?

That's what I was thinking about all the whiners in chat.

There's a misunderstanding here, I think.

So we're all crazy so that's why we believe "propaganda."...

I refer to different points of view

Jason would be authoritarian liberal in the political compass, not right at all.

I note that - regardless of what you or think he is - he is supporting right-wing propaganda

It's all propaganda one way or another

I am referring to the right-wing, authoritarian propaganda. Left wing approaches favor democracies and right-wing approaches favor authoritarianism. There is no "authoritarian liberal" concept in statecraft that is anti-democratic.

the right doesn't have a monopoly.

It has indeed - controlling the Senate for many years, and in some cases, controlling the house. That's a legislative monopoly.

The people who say these are artificial divisions meant to keep us from dealing with real issues may be onto something.

They are facts, not artificial divisions.

Look at the left bullshit news, look at the right bullshit news, look at foreign bullshit news with their own foreign agenda (Agent Socks), and the truth is probably in the middle somewhere.

Yes, though this oversimplifies the problems

Maybe, but that would destroy the whole reason you're here. There's one Muskrat to ~122 users here on an average day, ~177 on a good day. If you add 100,000 users, you do not get some percentage of extra Muskrats. You have one Muskrat out if 100,122 users now. A diluted value.

No - Saidit would be more interesting and engaging if it had more users. Currently, there is not much value to dilute.

And it's not just me, but all the unique voices here. We don't get bolstered by adding people, we get drowned out and/or end up banned by the new masses joining, electronic gentrification.

Interesting point and term, but look at the users who run the place. 'Electronic/social gentrification' would result from them leaving, which is doubtful. By contrast - anyone who disagrees with right-wing propaganda on Saidit is abused and eventually leaves (I can remind you of the usernames).

It's just be another reddit. You never seen a small sub ruined by reddit popularity?

I've seen a lot of mod abuse on Reddit over the years, but would argue that there is perhaps a sweet spot where a sub can be a good size and not have abusive mods. Depends on the subject. /r/Politics has been severely limited by having too many rules, and thus it's potential to address politics appropriatley, with a variety of media and users, has made it an MSM page. Saidit is so much better than this because of the lack of restrictions. So, Politics is partially ruined because it has had difficulty dealing with bad content. This would support your argument about the problems with larger subs. That said, Saidit still needs more users, and shouldn't be in danger of reaching 8 million subscribers, 31k of which are online right now. Sorry that's a gross comparison.

LIAR!

Everything that you don't believe in is not simply right-wing.
