WotB refugees are our natural allies. I would like to sue for peace.

While I appreciate your desire for peace with WOTB, is WOTB the best sub in which to post an OP seeking peace with WOTB? WOTB is not attacking WOTB.

It was before being removed from /all. More visibility on the front page.

The overall community regulars are free speech maximalists. To the extent allowed on the site.

More importantly, influential members on WotB and the WotB mods are here, so there's no better place.

I'm asking for peace from WotB. The proposed remedy is a thicker skin for vulgarity, or strong opposing views, or racism, or profanity, etc.

There are those within Saidit who work to divide and conquer us within. We have similar internal problems.
I don't think the individuals at hand are working against the site, but it's happened before.

Regardless,

The WotB can take a punch and not flinch.
You aren't blistered by moon beams.
You can handle yourselves likes adults.

You know how the divide and conquer game goes. You've watched it unfold, and it doesn't have to be that way here.

Isolation will not improve your situation.

Pick up the ball.
Stay in the game.

Engage in diplomacy.

The proposed remedy is a thicker skin for vulgarity, or strong opposing views, or racism, or profanity, etc.

The other proposed remedy would be a thicker skin for saying "I like turtles" when that requirement is set. Or not saying it, but not saying it somewhere else.

A better remedy: Stop posting bigotry to test the boundaries of a sub. Even better: Stop being a bigot.

to test the boundaries of a sub.

You may have hit upon the the actual main kernel of the problem right there.

And their "testing of the boundaries" of this sub seems to have "tested the boundaries" of Saidit.

When one first discovers Saidit, one will see a watered down Reddit, with posts coming from standard, well-curated subs.

Only later will they find out that what they are seeing is not all of Saidit -- there's the rest of Saidit over at s/all.

And then later, some of those people will discover that s/all is a lie --- s/all is not ALL of Saidit. There is yet more.

An unknown-sized sweeping vista of subs that have been cast out of the peer-reviewed, peer-pressured conformity of s/all.

So my question is (not to you specifically, I still have to find where it goes): Is there a way to see the actual all of Saidit? Like Simba, I am curious about the shadow area that Mufasa said not to go to.

Another way to ask the question: How do I see a list of all the posts made in actual all of Saidit that have been made in the past half hour?
For all I know there could be a few subs out there with tens of thousands of subscribers, that have posts with absolute gobs of discussion hidden behind the curtain of s/(not-really)all.

Is there a way to see the actual all of Saidit? Or has a large chunk of Saidit been tucked away like a cousin no one speaks of in the name of alleged "free speech"?
