"Free" as long as users keep to the upper levels of the pyramid of debate

There is no downvoting to censor with, just upvoting if you like and ignoring if you don't (and are unable to reply or debate in a way that keeps to the upper levels of the pyramid).

It sounds like administrative action is reserved for people that consistently drag conversation down to the bottom of the pyramid.

You get it.

For a glimpse of a recent controversy, one person with multiple accounts is always posting stuff like "The Jews did 9/11" and we're simply discussing whether or not it's a potential threat to the future of SaidIt's security - whether "The Jews" will have the power an influence to one day look back through the SaidIt vaults to censor us.

We're not even debating whether all or some or none of them did it, or if better words like Zionists should be used, and we haven't even put it to a group vote much less discuss disciplinary actions.

SaidIt is a classy joint. With freeshpeaches. Don't mess with Texas or SaidIt.

It's not worded well.

We've been struggling with trying to discuss coming up with good policy that is not about censoring so much as how to protect, prevent, and prepare for the worst, and the future is infinitely full of hypothetical possible threats.

So thus far the best thing we can come up with is to hope people are more accurate and more specific about their phrases not to unnecessarily attract negative attention, and be vigilant, prepared, and brace for the worst, forever.
