Last in my SaidIt wish list https://infogalactic.com/info/SaidIt#Wish_lists I have:

Statistics:

  • open transparent statistics

  • registered user numbers, traffic, etc

I put it last because I was just curious, as a fan about the growth numbers, etc and didn't think it that important, nor did I think my geeky interest might be shared. And yet, now it might be very important.

I'm all for keeping your identity and private messages private but everything else should be transparent.

I'd like to see a red flag and/or anti-semitism and/or "hate speech" vote and or option.

At present there's a "report" option with

  • Spam

    • Personal and confidential information
    • Threatening, harassing, or inciting violence
    • Other

I don't know if this is where these options should be added or what. I'm certainly not even saying these need to be acted upon (ie. deletion). "Hate speech" is such a loaded term anyway. But if we can at least statistically track much of the problemic content then that may help us root out the problems and deal with them as required. Right now it's about collecting information - openly. To be informed and prepared and to rationally deal with it.

/u/magnora7 and /u/d3rr - If you're going to add a "read/unread" you might as well also add metatags and red flags and start counting.

Are jews semites though? I think a hate speech vote is a little over the top.

I don't care about whether they are or aren't. Whatever the flag is called is up to you. I'm just talking about tracking it since there's no effective search utility. Of course this would require active participation. And our crowd, myself included, are only human and not remotely as disciplined as we could be, if even just for capitals on proper nouns, much less self monitoring and maintaining an arbitrary flag.
