That was exactly his point. Non-fascists have low karma. Which also drives away new users.

Well not directly, but the mechanism that give the fascists high karma, also drives away new users.

No you have low karma because you are always wrong and boring in your content.

You're confusing non-fascist and wrong.

And you're confusing boredom with cognitive dissonance.

Well-said

Woody also fails to appreciate that this is my ~30th account in the past 3 years, and that I create a new account when I get annoyed with the attacks against me. He also doesn't appreciate that a high karma score at Saidit is a bad goal, for a lot of reasons. I could perhaps add up the karma in those accounts, but regardless, you're of course absolutely right that new users (as well as many who've been admins or mods and have been absent) are driven away by some of the users here. The M7 and D3 experiment that users could be guided to avoid 'dragging down the discussion' on a 'free speech' website has failed, for various reasons. But Saidit still operates with a few users as a dysfunctional 'community', and in my case, a place to learn about far right propaganda and to occasionally tell users how to understand far right misinformation (for which they are of course oh so grateful).
