Don't you think it's weird how SaidIt has more freedom of speech than 4chan or Reddit?

There's too few people here for anyone to care about us. Back when the rather large Ice Poseidon 2 fanclub was here though, Magnora7 had to ban them or get dropped from hosting, and he banned them.

Only place I know where the admin will actually fight for free speech is Kiwifarms.net, and it seems like pretty much a full time pain in the ass.

The level of discourse and the amount of censorship only continues to get worse as time goes on at the other sites. It's incredible how quickly reddit changed in terms of content and how info just get censored on such a blatant fashion over there. Makes me think this place is really worth defending, as much as people may think that there's only darkness ahead.

It's always darkest before the dawn. I am very grateful that Saidit exists, although I feel like putting effort in here is pointless. Our contributions do not seem appreciated by management. And it's whatevs, but it doesn't inspire me to want to put time in for the benefit of the site, only for my own pleasure.

You are telling me? Just hang in there dude, I'm not saying this to be naively optimisitc but rather I'm sure there's more things that are in store for us as long as we keep resisting in good faith.

  1. What's Ice Poseidon 2?

Who's Magnora7

He's the owner/admin of Saidit, although he's usually on Reddit instead.

What's Ice Poseidon 2?

From wiki: Paul Denino, better known as Ice Poseidon, is an American internet personality, live streamer and conman, primarily of the video game Old School RuneScape and the IRL genre. His peak prominence was in 2017 when his IRL streams became popular. He is best known for his IRL streams, which he describes as "life streaming". Rolling Stone named Denino as a "pioneer 'life streamer'." Initially a streamer on Twitch, Denino was publicly banned from the platform for being swatted off an airplane at Phoenix airport after a viewer called in a bomb threat under Denino's name. Following several years of streaming on YouTube, Denino moved to Mixer, only for the streaming platform to shut down in July 2020. Denino has returned to streaming on YouTube and continues streaming regularly as of June 2021.

Don't be too harsh when judging Magnora. There is a very common tactic used by groups like the JIDF to shut down free speech websites in which they infiltrate those sites, post the most offensive things they can, then use those posts as justification to shut down those places using (((their))) control of ISP's, hosts, banks, etc.

It is a fine line he has to walk between allowing anything to go, while not allowing justification to get shut down. It is simply not possible to have any website on the internet which can not be shut down by (((them))). The only thing that slows them down is that using that power exposes them. Just like how destroying Kanye proved Kanye right about them.

I don't mean to be harsh to M7, I'd have done the same damn thing probably. Joshua Moon of Kiwifarms, god bless that boy, literally has spent months fighting censorship and that's fuckin awesome, but it's like his day job now and not everyone can do that, and not just timewise, but it has to wear on a person to constantly fight fight fight.

It's pretty obvious that Kayne's an op

Not obvious to me. The waters get muddied with these things: actual opposition appears as controlled opposition because the controlled opposition is so convincing. My reading is that that Ye got pissed off from being manipulated, started calling them out, got threatened with imprisonment and death, and is now doing the "I love Hitler" shtick as a dead man's switch: it is his hope that, if he gets suicided, people will pay attention to what he's saying, look into the hollow hoax, and discover that Hitler isn't who we were taught he is. This is his counter-threat to his jewish enemies and he's doing it to save his ass. He suggested as much during his interview with Alex Jones. But please elaborate why you think he's an op.
