A technique I've noticed in the last few weeks is something I call Trivializing the Front Page. Using one or more accounts or a bot, post and upvote trivial information, for example: Why I like turtles, or Some "unknown starlet" in Spatz goes for a walk, etc. At a time like this when many ex-redditors are shopping around for a new site, it can make saidit look sort of meh, as boring posts (or posts suggesting saidit is racist or antisemitic) rise on HOT or NEW with way more votes than is usual. This technique may already have peaked at saidit. An example of trivializing from today is mass posting of Greek music which has its place of course but we have important things to discuss.

An even more obvious technique is punishing saidit with DDoS attacks for having what to me is a realistic take on Israel and Mossad.

Thanks for the new site.
