Saidit is worse than reddit with censorship.

submitted by Troll from self.SaidIt

I was a founder of coontown, and a top moderator at /r/physical_removal. Both these subreddits were banned -- without discussion -- by the admins here because of political disagreements under the guise of "obeying the pyramid" fanaticism. The irony is, these subreddits lasted far longer on reddit than they did on saidit, and took more effort to ban than an admin or twos political disagreements.

I tried to discuss this with magnora7 in chat, but he said he "didn't feel like talking to a guy like you."

This whole website is a farce. It's not going to go anywhere though. Why go to a version of reddit who treats it like one big subreddit?

The irony of someone who supports physical_removal, crying about having their sub removed. It's your own ideology come to life! You should therefore support my actions. But that irony aside...

There has been plenty of discussion about why, ad nauseum.

"didn't feel like talking to a guy like you."

Pretty certain I never said anything like that.

Physical removal is removed for advocating violence ("Let's throw gays and communists out of helicopters, so to speak." being a central meme), and coontown is also removed for advocating violence. ("Black people are just the worst and shouldn't exist, and we should probably hang them" being a central meme)

You seem more upset you can't set up little mod fiefdoms than you actually are upset about your information being limited.

The issue has been explained to you. The community doesn't really support you. What are you even trying to accomplish here? If you want to hate black people and gays so bad that you need to make a whole sub about it, just go to voat. Seriously.

We have banned 5 subs in 16 months, so this idea it's "worse than reddit" in terms of censorship is just laughable.

The irony of someone who supports physical_removal, crying about having their sub removed.

However, I am for free speech. I'm just at the understanding that the left isn't someone you debate with, like how you don't debate someone trying to kill you. You don't debate ISIS on why what they're doing is wrong, because they don't care.

Pretty certain I never said anything like that.

Or close enough. You certainly didn't want to talk about it (and made some other statement very much against the Holy Pyramid of Debate).

Physical removal is removed for advocating violence ("Let's throw gays and communists out of helicopters, so to speak." being a central meme)

Physical_Removal was for the legalization of State actions against treasonous and dangerous people in this country. And, no, gays were not anybody we focused on other than the weirdos who dress in S&M in public and such.

Anyways, Communists are not people.

and coontown is also removed for advocating violence. ("Black people are just the worst and shouldn't exist, and we should probably hang them" being a central meme)

Coontown had excellent policies against calls to violence, and this was admitted by two CEOs of reddit. Furthermore, it was not against the existence of all blacks. We even had a few blacks who agreed with us, and many of us were Thomas Sowell fans.

You seem more upset you can't set up little mod fiefdoms than you actually are upset about your information being limited.

I am upset that my information is being limited. Physical Removal, IMO, is the most important cause one can undertake in today's society. Coontown was good old fashioned trollish racism and crime statistics/stories.

We have banned 5 subs in 16 months, so this idea it's "worse than reddit" in terms of censorship is just laughable.

Of all the subreddits you have banned with political purposes, how many were leftists?

ShitRedditSays, for example, certainly ruined more lives than Coontown did. /r/Anarchism has called for violence plenty of times, including telling people to bring firecrackers to "protests" which actually did happen the following day. FuckTheAltRight is full of calls to violence.

We have banned 5 subs in 16 months, so this idea it's "worse than reddit" in terms of censorship is just laughable.

Of those 16 months, very few of those had any worthwhile traffic to speak of, and they were banned for reasons obviously untrue as stated previously.

FuckTheAltRight is full of calls to violence.

Yup and it would be banned if it came to saidit, for the same reasons coontown and physical_removal were banned.

[–]Troll[S] 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (27 children)

What a non-statement. Both those subs had, at most, like 2-3 submissions. It's not the left-wing ones you ban, though. And you were the sole moderator of boht PR and CT, last I checked. So how did they even come to saidit if nobody was posting in them? So why a different standard?

You want to tell me who you voted for in 2016?

[–]Troll[S] 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

No, the point is that they're banning subreddits here because they were banned on reddit.

[–]Zombi 8 insightful - 4 fun8 insightful - 3 fun9 insightful - 4 fun -  (15 children)

I thought this was a pretty clear question, but as with everything else you seem to just loving muddying the waters. Do you have any proof of left leaning subs on saidit calling for violence? Reddit is a different site, so citing their users as a reflection of ours is a little misleading.

This is a very, very simple issue to solve. If there are calls for violence on left leaning subs within saidit that have yet to be banned then /u/magnora7 is a hypocrite. If the calls to violence seem to be only an issue within your subs, then maybe it's something YOU'RE doing if multiple websites keep banning the type of communities you tend to build.

You ever have that thought? That maybe, just maybe, you're not some helpless victim? That maybe it's not the entire world out to get you? You ever wonder if there's a slim chance that it might just be you who's the asshole? Man, what a world that would be... It's just so hard to picture a reality in which you, of all people, might actually be in the wrong.

Do you have any proof of left leaning subs on saidit calling for violence?

Does Magnora have any proof of the banned subreddits here doing that, too?

Are you a moron? Honest question.

I, personally, don't need any as I've seen the memes/posts he's referring to on those subs, but I'm sure if you really wanted proof he would be able to find evidence. Since they're banned I can't go look. Nice job avoiding the question, btw. Here it is again: Do you have any proof that left leaning subs on saidit are making calls for violence yet still aren't banned?

Such a simple question that you've repeatedly failed to answer. So weird how your giant galaxy brain can't answer it.

You're a limp-wristed faggot leftist. I bet you're not even 18 year thinking you know it all, too. If you're over 18 then I'd be ashamed for your sake.

Considering you're literally named "Troll" I just find the irony of this comment so goddamn sweet. Thank you so much for this lmfao!

Please respect the pyramid of debate, this is warning 2.5 because I'm being lenient. https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/j1/the_saiditnet_terms_and_content_policy/

One more infraction where you are dragging the quality of discussion down the pyramid of debate and you're banned from the site.

You are right, that /u/Magnora7 really should have proof; I agree with this point.

Are you a moron? Honest question.

People usually don't get themselves tested for this, so I doubt /u/Zombi can actually answer.

You're a limp-wristed faggot leftist. I bet you're not even 18 year thinking you know it all, too. If you're over 18 then I'd be ashamed for your sake.

This is completely unfounded as well as extremely low on the pyramid. Are you trying to get banned, maybe as ammo against SaidIt?

[–]Zombi 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

I totally agree that proof should be provided for those that haven't seen it. I've seen the posts/memes magnora7 is referring to, so I don't really need it, but I do think it would be nice to have some in the future.

      Just a reminder to anybody reading this: magnora7 created /s/coontown and /s/physicalremoval (not the correct /s/physical_removal) and banned them under them "being here," but gives left-leaning subreddits a different approach.

      [–]magnora7 9 insightful - 3 fun9 insightful - 2 fun10 insightful - 3 fun -  (4 children)

      He was creating 50 subs that were all hyper-controversial content, both far-left and far-right, and used a script to do it in an automated way that bypassed our original rule of only one sub per week. Far more than just disagreeing, it was a targeted attack

          The community doesn't really support you.

          Some of us want proper rules about this so the next time something is banned we can feel assured that it's not because a power user reported the sub as unsavory.

          [–]magnora7 6 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 2 fun -  (5 children)

          There are proper rules.

          Advocating violence is at the bottom of the pyramid of debate. Coontown frequently advocates violence. We left that exact message on the ban page.

          I don't know how to be more proper than that. It's all in the open.

          1. Power user reports

          2. Sub is banned

          3. Pyramid is updated with new tier

          The change was made awhile ago and they continued to do it after the change, the change was made as a urgent need was made for it due to multiple people of that kind, it was already against the TOS and Policy before hand anyways so even without the pyramid update they were still breaking the rules.

                I think the biggest thing that screams, "please treat me like a victim" is the fact those saidit subsaidits were not getting any traffic, but were banned anyways. So it has nothing to do with the "pyramid of debate" It has to do with someone's feelings, and someone's opinions. So, there was no problem, and somebody had to find a solution because of feels.

                Reddit TRIES to make it look like subreddits broke the rules, when they haven't. This place just goes and deletes them because of BOTH feelings and lies. He's more than welcome to go and google /r/coontown and search for the announcement thread of its banning on reddit -- both Pao and Huffshit admitted that it broke no rules (claiming he banned it because it was bad for ads).

                  So? It's humor. Throwing commies from helicopters is utterly hilarious.

                  I'm not sure where sawboss was going. I sure as hell won't deny that helicopter rides weren't central to our beautiful mission.

                  These "people" are utter garbage and trash, and I'm not saying that because I simply disagree with them. I've been around a while. It's not the beliefs you need to look at, but the psychological processes that were involved in those beliefs.

                  Here's the thing: I'm completely serious when I say I'm an anti-leftist and pro-elimination. I'm careful to distinguish the true believers from the naive, uneducated, young, and foolish. But here's the thing: these are the people who will promote pedophilia, genocide, and the murder of successful people because such things makes their own faults and sins go unquestioned.

                  Back in the 2000s I successfully "deconverted" a communist on revleft, and later he ended up following my advice for false reasons, and admitted he was a pedophile. I espoused a sort of anti-human nihilism and he took it into being an edgy weird fuck who fapped to the little girl playing across the street while watching out his window Boo Radley style.

                  That's just one example. Can you fault me for wanting to cleanse this world of some measure of evil and filth?

                    Also the Pyramid is a method of keeping discussion from falling to such childish circle jerk as Reddit, hence it probably wasn't political and more just your Sub was acting like a bunch of circle jerky Redditors.

                    Edit: Your sub also broke the Pyramid of Debate AND Site wide rules with your avocation of violence.

                    In all honesty, Saidit is becoming an echo chamber not unlike Voat. The front page and the comments sections are constantly filled with bland propaganda posts about Iran, Imperialism, and critiques of capitalism mostly from people who have no idea what they're talking about. Despite the initial assurances that Saidit was a place which welcomes discussion, I find that trite one-liners and poor debaters who cannot even reach the middle of the pyramid regularly get voted as the most "informative" answers.

                    I'd had rather high hopes for this place when they first set up, but it's pretty clear that there's a reason why Reddit, Voat, and even this place will never become a place for intelligent discussion; the very way the voting system is set up is designed to encourage the reinforcement of worldviews.

                    I think there's a few people that think like you do, but overall I find saidit to be a higher-quality place for discussion than reddit and I think many others do as well.

                    Because you're just like a reddit admin. What you agree with = pyramid of debate. What you don't agree with != pyramid of debate.

                    You can't even follow your own fucking rules when I attempted to discuss this a week or two ago. You're a fucking fraud.

                    Please stop name-calling and using such divisive language – it brings your post down on the pyramid. I think you can still make the same point with less divisive language:

                    You seem to be acting like Reddit admins often do, confusing the act of saying something you disagree with as going against the policy, which in this case is the pyramid of debate. You weren't even able to follow these rules yourself when I attempted to discuss this a week or two ago, and I feel that this greatly harms both your integrity and the integrity of SaidIt as a whole.

                    Hopefully that makes the same point, while being a bit higher on the pyramid?

                    I would disagree with you on Saidit being a good place for discussion. I don't find this to be a better place than reddit for discussion at all.

                    Take for instance this thread itself. My earlier comment which you replied to is exactly the sort of vapid, uninformative comment it complains about - funny how these things turn out - and it was voted to the second-most informative comment in the thread. This is despite offering no arguments or new information beyond what everyone already agrees with.

                    If in the light of the current front page and the threads on it, you would continue to insist that this place is somehow more welcoming of intelligent disagreement than Reddit, I would invite you to consider one more thing. Is this tolerance of disagreement something born out of the way the system is set up? Or is it merely something to do with having a smaller community, which has yet to hit the critical mass where the circlejerking becomes perpetual?

                    [–]magnora7 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (8 children)

                    I see you frequently complaining about how this site is no better, but then I have to ask, why are you here at all? It's not going to be perfect, but it is definitely better than reddit and voat in terms of discussion, despite what you might say. If you find it so lacking, why waste time here? What brought you here in the first place?

                    There's also the problem that the people who seek and gain power seem to have very limited understanding of the responsibilities of power, or the pluracy of ways of looking at the world as opposed to their own myopic vision.

                    Let's say for the sake of argument that our intention is to make the world a better place; how did coontown or physical removal make the world a better place?

                    Coontown was hilarious, and, helped anger people and divided the left and right more. Physical_Removal promoted the idea that leftists are a cancer -- which is absolutely true, objectively speaking.

                    You say leftism is a cancer, and yet it's your sub forums that get excised from any reputable forum. Think about that for a moment.

                    "Leftists are a cancer - which is absolutely true objectively speaking." I think you need to look up the definitions of objective and subjective. This is an opinion not a fact. The question was how did these subsaidits make the world a better place? Helping to anger people and divide the left and right more and promoting ideas that leftists are a cancer IMO (see how that works?) doesn't make anything better at all, it all just creates more hatred.

                    It also goes against one of the main goals of SaidIt: to reduce division.

                    That's not germane. Let's suppose it isn't; that doesn't change the fact that your subs were banned from it.

                    Not trying to kiss magnora7's ass, but if he is feeling a bit like a 'pettytarian', then I can't really blame him. I was about 75% insane after dealing with sjw scum when I fled to voat, only to find it quickly saturated with a different brand of stupidity.

                    They don't really respect freedom of speech, not really. The downvote system is worse there than it is on reddit! It makes it easy for the community to censor you and then say "it's not the admins/mods doing it, so it isn't censorship", which is just plain false. I'm not going to argue semantics, either.

                    You should have taken the hint based on how the "downvote" system works here, most of us have had enough of that crap! Take it back to voat, or that not-voat place, poal.

                    Could you at least point out:

                    • Of what these subs were accused of?

                    • What you think those accusations really were on the pyramid?

                    The Irony is that Reddit only bans when there is a branding issue and saidit tries to have a normal debate/conversation.

                      This is not the flaw with Saidit. I don't even think this is a flaw. (Though /u/magnora7 probably should've humoured you endlessly, wasting significant time that could instead be spent developing other features, in order that you felt like you were being listened to, because the community is often more important than the software.)
