WPD 2.0 GO!

G'day, welcome back!(self)NSFW

336 points335 points338 points submitted by GreedeaterPizza Time

Heya guys, welcome to the sub.

First and foremost; take a look around the site, starting here. Reddit users will be comfortable with the format here, and older ones will realise that it feels very Reddit circa 2010. also, there is an Android app available through F-Droid and Google Play, currently using it myself: no iPhone app though that I'm aware of sorry. One thing you'll notice is there is no downvote in here; it's either Insightful or Funny. if the comment/post is both, use both! One or the other, just the one. Easy.

The main things I want to point out is twofold; one, The Debate Pyramid. This aligns incredibly closely with how we ran things on the OG WPD so I expect the same here, and will adjust the rules accordingly to compensate with the new ToS.

Second - and some folks ain't gunna like this - there is absolutely ZERO PORN on Saidit. For me, that's refreshing. For those who aren't happy with that, well, we all know how many porn subs are on Eddit.

I've checked in with /u/Magnora7 (one of the 2 admins/co creators of Saidit IIRC) about the ToS and, frankly, IF he wanted us here in the first place. He's cool with it, and compared to what we were used to on Eddit, incredibly approachable. I'll be taking us off s/all like the old one, all posts will be NSFW and perhaps even thumbnails removed. Don't want folk stumbling in.

The sub itself is gunna be a bit bare-bones for a while with the CSS knocked up by Jason Cromwell minus the old tweaks we had, so have a poke around the site and see what's what. I found that browsing by /s/all was the best option with blocking subs you didn't want, and do keep in mind that the site itself is very low population. Hopefully we can change that.

Ok rules; they will essentially be the same as OG-WPD and filled fleshed out in full shortly. In case you're wondering, /u/JasonCarswell was kind enough to create the sub for us (as I still had a time limit on new sub creation) but has said himself he is not interested in moderation, so ping me if needed. Also, for the moment let's keep the ChCh video off the sub. I'm not saying indefinitely, this is mainly so nay sayers opposed to our content don't start up the outrage machine again. When it dies down and they've found a new outrage, it's fine to go up. In the meantime it's over on s/Death.

Finally, keep in mind that while I (and hopefully, you) intend to stay on Saidit for the foreseeable, WPD here is for the old community to congregate while we build Deadit.com, the forever home. Won't be avoided once done, but will probably slow down when it does. M'kay?

Anything I miss? Comment below, and welcome back to the community! Hit up /s/Introductions to say hello to fellow Saiditors too, haven't had a bad interaction yet :)

Are we going to add "no animals" to the rules like it was at WPD? Thanks for landing here, even though it is temporary.

Shit, knew I forgot something! Ha, I'll chuck it on the side bar now.

The rule that kept me on the sub TBH. Thanks for that Greed.

GreedeaterPizza Time[S] 6 insightful - 3 fun6 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 3 fun 5 years ago

No worries!

Mark_Taiwan 10 insightful - 3 fun10 insightful - 2 fun11 insightful - 3 fun 5 years ago

That would make sense, the sub is still called "Watch PEOPLE Die" after all.

Farseli 10 insightful - 3 fun10 insightful - 2 fun11 insightful - 3 fun 5 years ago

Thank you and to /u/JasonCarswell too! Saidit has been a refreshing change of pace and I'm glad the administration is sensible.

JasonCarswell 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun 5 years ago

So this one called me here. Until now I could say I'd never looked at a WPD post or comment.

I will get around to finish drafting the SaidIt Survey about policies that may apply to NSFW subs like this. Part of the reason I embraced this opportunity with other's I'll include in that post.

Also, FYI I started this SaidIt General Information wiki a day ago that will definitely be expanded upon from it's current small seed. /s/SaidIt/wiki/index

Also also, FYI I redesigned the Debate Pyramid, with more variations: https://infogalactic.com/info/SaidIt_gallery#The_Debate_Pyramid

Heya JC, my time limit for subs is up. Could you PM me that list of subs you were after and I'll sort one out for ya? Can't backtracking in me inbox via app for some reason.

JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 5 years ago

Ya the history navigation here is excruciating.

First, because you're new, I would expect that you might want another one or few to make, so don't let me hold you back.

There'a s sudden onslaught of new subs, many of which could use the cautionary banner, but I guess these folks already know all about fringe content and NSFW so maybe my little bubblewrap efforts here were for naught.

I have an entirely new system of determining which subs I intend to make. This week it was pointed out that there are a bunch of subs that are similar while other topics completely missing. I then realized that I needed to separate my hopeful topics from the ones I could actually post to. So now I have bookmark folders counting posts that I have or will post in various topical subs.

I don't know if you want one of those, or if you want to play it safe with something like: Animals, Vehicles, or Sports.

Or more specific but not controversial: VideoEssays, MovieAnalysis, MovieReviews, MovieTrailers, Filmmaking_Screenwriting.

Or regional: Asia, Brazil, CentralAmerica, EU EuropeanUnion, Hollywood, Mexico, MiddleEast, Russia, SaudiArabia, SouthAmerica, UK UnitedKingdom, Vietnam, WallStreet, WashingtonDC

Someone mentioned /r/Gore and I don't think they were talking about Al. But if you want more hopeful stuff: Solutions, Openness, SharingEconomy, Fulfillment_WellBeing, Progressivism, GreenParty, LibertarianParty, Independents,

And these are the folders I was counting in just this week:

  • Animals
  • ArtificialIntelligence / Singularity
  • Banksters
  • Buddhism
  • ClassWar
  • Corporatocracy
  • DeepState_And_ShadowGov
  • Energy
  • FLOSS
  • HolisticDoctorMurders
  • HolocaustSkepticism
  • Justice / Law / Laws_OfThe_Land / Legal / RiggedSystems
  • MilitaryIndustrialComplx
  • MindControl
  • MovieAnalysis
  • MovieReviews
  • MovieTrailers
  • OpenScience_vs_Scientism (GeoEngineering, Technocracy, VaccineSkepticism)
  • RacialDivisionIsEliteTool (1 may need a better name <24 char max)
  • RiggedSystems
  • PrisonIndustrialComplex
  • Sex (- sex issues are usually common though)
  • Solutions (DIYHome_Garden, FightElitesNotEachOther, OpenScience, UniversalBasicIncome, WeDoNotConsent, WorkerCoops)
  • Technocracy
  • Wahhabism
  • WorldHistory
  • Zionism

  • Asia
  • Brazil
  • CentralAmerica
  • Colombia
  • EuropeanUnion EU
  • Hollywood
  • Mexico
  • MiddleEast
  • Russia
  • SaudiArabia
  • SouthAmerica
  • Vietnam
  • WallStreet
  • WashingtonDC

Shit sorry mate, IRL got real hectic for me for a bit... My job kinda exploded with activity haha!

I'm Gunna go through your list tonight if I can, pick out a few to start up and pass the reins over so keep an eye out eh?

GreedeaterPizza Time[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun 5 years ago

My sentiments exactly.

JasonCarswell 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun 5 years ago

FYI:

The third one provides a little more context to the last one that I really want to draw your attention to, and potentially your NSFW posse.

magnora7 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun 5 years ago

The saidit wiki looks great, thanks for the little FAQ, those are definitely questions I am constantly answering

largeslice 9 insightful - 3 fun9 insightful - 2 fun10 insightful - 3 fun 5 years ago

So happy to see this risen from the ashes...I was really starting to miss WPD, enoughinternet, gore etc,etc....Reddit just isn't the same without them and I was logging in less and less. Also tried a few of the 'darker' websites out there but they seem to be full of the sort of people I generally try to avoid. It's the comments and therefore the people I really missed from WPD. Great work guys....I am very much IN.

xynixia 6 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 2 fun 5 years ago

Hey, nice to be back. I'll inform the community discord members about this.

FYI, the Saidit app is also available on the Play Store.

GreedeaterPizza Time[S] 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun 5 years ago

Oh really? Was not aware... Thought it was just F-Droid based tbh.

Fuck reddit. Glad to be back.

PaigeAP 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun 5 years ago

Might wanna make a post in s/Death redirecting everyone here.

GreedeaterPizza Time[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun 5 years ago

I thought about it, bit don't want to steal the blokes thunder.

Just made a post in r/DeaditUpdate directing here so word will spread very soon regardless ;)

JasonCarswell 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun 5 years ago

/u/PaigeAP & Greedeater, /s/Death was an empty sub for 3 months since /u/Diplomat started it. Diplo hasn't made a single post on SaidIt. I asked M7D3 if I could be made mod - just to add designs - they said no, maybe because 3 month wasn't enough, maybe because they don't want it to become a thing.

It was empty unitl Robin, host of WikiSpooks.com posted there. Then the WPD ban happened and there were a bunch since this sub didn't exist yet. Death and mortality is one thing but WPD is another, more extreme, and is a good oportunity to develop freespeaches policies democratically.

For example, after a while I'd like to find out what people thing of the banner and applying something like it across all NSFW. Aesthetically Is it too much? Not enough? Bad/good design? Too mod? Better with tabs? etc. Maybe you want a different banner but still want a caution sign in the corner. Maybe you think my caution is stupid or simply unnecessary.

Whatever helps improve Saidit.

GreedeaterPizza Time[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun 5 years ago

Yeh I noticed that. When I made me account here there was three posts on s/Death, most recent being 21 days at the time IIRC. As I mentioned to ya earlier, I knew the community would want to head somewhere off site, and that was the one spruiked on Eddit to begin with - how I actually found Saidit in the first place tbh. That would have to be watched closely as I get the feeling they wouldn't adhere to the Debate Pyramid as rigidly as our usual community will here.

For example, after a while I'd like to find out what people thing of the banner and applying something like it across all NSFW. Aesthetically Is it too much? Not enough? Bad/good design? Too mod? Better with tabs? etc. Maybe you want a different banner but still want a caution sign in the corner. Maybe you think my caution is stupid or simply unnecessary.

Not at all, and I'm sure folk in here would be happy to give feedback and then can be enacted by popular opinion of the community appropriately. For reference, if you look at the subreddit /r/WatchRedditDie, it is almost a carbon copy of the old WPD CSS - found that out with a laugh when I used me PC to log in one day as I'm predominately a mobile user. I've texted the other ex WPD mods to see if someone has a backup copy of the post quarantine CSS, if they come through I'll shoot it to ya in a PM.

Post WPD Quarantine, we removed the Rembrandt (which didn't have a snoo on it heh, cheeky buggers) and had more of a disclaimer to the material posted instead, as per Admin demand at the time.

JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 5 years ago

Why do you always call it Eddit?

Snoo is Reddits mascot? I've offered to design one for SaidIt but no bites.

If you want a disclaimer in the banner I can do that.

Was this shared in the telegram groups?

Not all of em Hat, I wasn't a member of the ones run by Catthighs and Lex. If you wanna spread the word feel free to do so, just redirect em to this post K?

Didn't realize how much I would miss the old sub, fuck scapegoat censorship. Welcome back to the world.

GreedeaterPizza Time[S] 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun 5 years ago

/u/JasonCarswell I temp removed the CSS as the grey text was unreadable on the back ground. Here it in its entirety as I wasn't sure if you saved it;

header { min-height: 150px; }

.theme-daymode #header { background-image: url(%%Crime-Scene-Banner-2000x200%%); background-color: #9999AA; background-position: 100% 100%; } .theme-nightmode #header { background-image: url(%%Crime-Scene-Banner-2000x200%%); background-color: #333333; background-position: 0% 0%; } body.theme-daymode { background-image: url(%%Pixel-Skull-Crossbone-Tile-v2f-Top-Centered-4000x4000%%); } body.theme-nightmode { background-image: url(%%Pixel-Skull-Crossbone-Tile-v3c-Top-Centered-4000x4000%%); }

Can it be tweaked otherwise? Maybe filled in BG for the text, borders or such? Even if the BG image can be toned down to be fainter, allowing the text to be clearer to read.

Hey! It's here!

You mention that my name was a typo and I didn't get it. You corrected it and I'm pretty certain I still didn't get it.

Thanks for saving it though the CSS has history so you can just look at the previous version.

So that early CSS is NOT very good. FYI, like Reddit, you can always look at : https://saidit.net/s/WatchPeopleDie/about/stylesheet

And I can see that but I can't see the iteration history, nor can I edit it now that I'm not longer mod. And d3rr said there's a CSS level permissions thingy too.

JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 5 years ago

Test Number One

I am calling /u/d3rr and again here /u/derr intentionally misspelling both. After I save I will edit it to correct the spelling of the first instance. Either d3rr will see it in his messages or he won't.

[deleted] 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun 5 years ago

Seen it

JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun 5 years ago

You should have only been called once though, by #2.

JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 5 years ago

Test Number Two

I lied. This isn't really a test comment. I'm just calling /u/d3rr here to see if he saw Test Number One. If he sees both then I'm sorry for wasting your time. If he only sees one in his messages then it will be a known limit/bug.

magnora7 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun 5 years ago

People are not pinged after edits, this is intended behavior. Otherwise every time you edited the comment at all, it'd re-ping every person mentioned. We already know about it, thanks though

Great to see this place back up and running. I figured WPD would rise from the ashes elsewhere. Also a big thanks to the friendly gent who directed me here.

GG OP, ur da best. Also fuck Reddit Admins

[deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun 5 years ago

Well, guess I'll come here too in the meantime, heh :P

Hey hey! Want me to flair ya for Deadit dev?

Sure!

GreedeaterPizza Time[S] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun 5 years ago

Sorted.

You should make s/Gore again. I was part of that beautiful community.

ZoMgPwNaGe 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun 5 years ago

Bit late to the party, but is there any reason why I can't get this sub to work in the Saidit App?

[deleted] 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun 5 years ago

Check "I am over 18" in your preferences here.
