Saidit is being infiltrated and manipulated by paid shills. This is how the fall of Reddit started and if we aren't vigilant, the same could happen here.

So what you seem to be saying here is that if we want to make sure our protected class of free speech warriors are kept safe, we need to gatekeep Saidit and shut down viewpoints that disagree with ours.

shut down viewpoints that disagree with ours

That's the extremist anti-censorship straw-man always used when basic custodial site management is required.

The obvious bullshit response to that bullshit is, "So I guess you want child porn and advocating violence to run rampant here until this site is shut down?"

The real matter at hand is NOT about different viewpoints.
The real matter at hand is unfair BAD FAITH manipulators, deceivers, and liars.

Yeah, but who decides? At what point does the 'bad faith' label get turned into a cudgel? Remember when the term 'Nazi' referred only to people were actual neo nazis?

Start with the worst ones that are prolific and obvious. Force them to distribute themselves across many aliases that inherently have less karma, longevity, and trust.

This isn't about name-calling Nazis.
