He's sounding pretty forlorn in that thread. Said a lot about not having a community he can connect with.

My speculation is he set up Saidit for that, but maybe he's overwhelmed with being the chief cook and bottle washer to the users here, which would explain why we don't see much of him.

If that's the case, kudos to him for creating the kind of site that can facilitate the kinds of conversations he was looking for, even if he can't enjoy them.

Hello, I saw this thread and just for the record, I don't have any problems running saidit or with the community here. The last year has been pretty easy actually. I don't hate the community or culture or anything like that, that's definitely not true. Plenty of times I come here and see stuff that's very insightful or that I agree with totally. But not always, obviously.

Personally, I've just found that anytime I post here, it causes me and saidit a lot of heartache related to trolling and attacks, and for the longevity of saidit and for my mental wellbeing as well, I've generally decided to not really participate in personally posting on saidit. Everything just works better if the head admin isn't hanging out. It makes people self-conscious so they don't speak freely or they feel watched over. And it also makes people think "oh saidit as a whole is like this? I don't like it anymore" when I simply make a personal statement of opinion. Which makes me super self-conscious, because I want this site to grow and succeed, and thus am not really able to say what I'm thinking freely.

So that's why I don't often post on saidit anymore as magnora7. I sometimes post under a pseudonym though, so my spicy opinions are still around here and there. :) Thanks to everyone using saidit, even though there's quite a few dedicated bad actors and haters around (which I recommend using the 'block user' tool on), we definitely have a nice little solid community these days. Cheers!

wow - well-written response, and TIL (and I'm not trying to be nice; you've also banned me a couple times if it helps to know that, but good to know you still engage Saiditors, which is 100% what we need more of here, for everyone to engage more).

Hey magnora. Good to hear from you and to know you're well. Thanks for setting up this forum and keeping it going. It's nice to have a place where we can talk and even be grumpy bastards without worrying about getting silenced for it. Your explanation makes a lot of sense. I wish you well man.

Bullshit.

If you wanted SaidIt to grow you would have facilitated the ability for the community to self-regulate and cultivate its own growth without your dictatorial arbitrary bullshit limitations.

Either you're a controlled op fed or a incompetent maliciously egotistical admin.

The site has changed a lot, for better and for worse. It's definitely different than it was a few years ago.

Hello there.

It probably is you, I've no clue.

While the faces behind the iterative name changes might be the same for D3rr, AmericanMuskrat, or socks, the feeling of the site has changed, and to me it just feels like over the years these were like key points.

It's just how it is, the people in my neighborhood are different now compared to 2019 as well( although none of them moved out and moved back in under a different name, but I do know some that moved into a bigger home so maybe it's the same)

Lots more reddit refugees here since then, and not nearly as many site outages.

Great observation bro.

[–]chottohen 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Yes, lots more refugees and many are really good contributors. We've lost that village vibe from before and changed to more of a small city vibe where it's not possible to know everyone. I expect D3rr is still here some of the time under a different name but I'm not him. The good thing is that users are still civil to each other most of the time (except on chat 😆).

[–]JasonCarswellPlatinum Foil Fedora 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

/u/magnora7 completely failed to do anything about chat which has been vile with asstrolls for a year and a half, loosened the rules wide up for them to infect and slide the forum, and folks still wonder why Saddit has gone to shit? Yes, he's around but not very much anymore because asstroll Musky was abusive to him too.

There are a few users here who will remember discussions with M7 2+ years ago at Saidit and Reddit. This recent post is more emotional than some of the previous comments, but he is perhaps more emotional than some of us. Note that he did not offer much in the way of specific information about politics or other key topics at Saidit. I and some others have been interested in Saidit as a place for political discussion, especially after Reddit removed /r/politics from /r/all long ago, and thereafter developed a corporate model for an entertaiment-focused website without much political discussion that one could easily locate or freely engage in. Thus it was brave of M7 and d3rr to arrange a website that could include relatively open political discussion. What reduced the numbers here were some bans of users and the rise of other political websites that formed after Reddit banned them 2 years ago. Hence d3rr has noted that some of these ultra right wing websites drew users away from Saidit. Also, M7 has lamented that a free speech website ultimately gets hijacked by right wing extremists, who are the loudest voices on it. (They can both corroborate their earlier statements if you don't believe me.) Any exterior information about Saidit will note that it's mainly a website for political discussion. And of course we know that it's also primarily right wing. I can count only 3 'left'-leaning users who are here occasionally, one of whom is me. Many at Saidit are former Bernie supporters, and many are not on the extreme right, though the posts here seem to imply that it's an extreme right wing website. Most of us are somewhat older than Redditors. Everyone here is sick of corporate corruption in politics. What has annoyed /u/magnora7 the most - I think - has been the attacks between users, as you can partially see in his current post. But political discussion can be naturally acrimonious. My personal philosophy about Saidit (which doesn't matter on Saidit) is that, under all the shit, within the chaos of nonsense, there are occasional lessons to be had in an open forum like this, where one can learn about the political opinions of others (or rather - you folks listen to Fox so I don't have to, and I can learn from you about Fox, and of course I comment on that). I've always said I think there is potential for Saidit. There have been times when admins and mods helped develop Saidit and then they left, many of them, or they occasionally reappear. Right, /u/AXXA? /u/Zapped? /u/Musky? /u/HongKongPhooey? /u/soundsituation? I'd link to d3rr but he'd yell at me for doing so. Perhaps we'll all disagree on this, but that's my point - Saidit has this potential as a place of debate - but users should want to develop it as such. But I think many here would prefer social echo chambers, sadly.

You can only message 3 users in a single comment. The rest will not be notified.

[–]Tom_Bombadil 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (3 children)

How did you confirm this?

[–]EddieC 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Worse – Did you know this:
 

"You don't get a notification for a reply to someone else"

– even if you are the Original Poster (OP)
 

Meaning, those in the thread (even the OP) would miss later replies
Hence, not conducive for building community / mutual knowledge
 
BUT more importantly we need to shift to an accretive dialogue mindset
Otherwise, it is Groundhog Day everyday for everyone for ever!
 
Without this mindset, usurpers have a field day usurping people's focus and the platform
 
With this mindset in place,

  • usurpers will simply be shunned
  • the technical limitations of the forum become minor annoyances - hardly noticeable - since everyone will be in essence on the same page – to grow with cumulative knowledge

Re: your comment:

We could still form supportive groups to try and share good info and ideas.

 
Please note the above problem re: SaidIt's (lack of) notification, but the solution is simple: mindset change to accretive dialogue for ___? Why not usurper-free Direct systems?

  • gather for community curated wiki / pinned tweets @community wall @ community intelligence
    -- no more endless scrolling
     
  • gather to put pieces of the puzzle together
    -- no more unproductive idle chatter/rants/boring shitposts

This is years-old news, directly from M7D3 and verified through trial and error - unless things have been since modified.

Also, including a /u/name in a post title or post body won't notify them.

It's worth noticing how /pol/'s razor work. A forum left unmoderated will always turn right wing. In order for a forum to be left-wing it has to be heavily censored and moderated(Reddit) since leftist arguments are easily torn apart and debunked. Remember, Reddit used to be right of center before the huge big tech crackdown around 2015 and beyond.

Absolutely not the reason for a shift to the right. There is a lot of evidence about the aggressive, highly paid propaganda movement pushing increadibly dumb followers to the right with their simplistic BS. Everyone wants the answers to be easy, black and white, but anyone with a bit of intelligence will understand the significance of thinking about our political decisions rather than going along with the disinformation propaganda. The answers are complicated and the right aggressively push for a self-centered, simplistic rational for following the propaganda, while criticizing the facts, as they're told to do by the propaganda campaigns. The 'left' do not follow each other like that. Indeed they tend to argue more about politics. It can be difficult to unify the left, but they do stand for what's important: human rights, the enviroment, reasonable wages, corporate regulations, healthcare, good education, democracy, etc, etc, which the wealty 1% on the right have been desrtoying through their disinformation campaigns. It's working. Note that we're arguing about facts. This is what the 1% want.

Remember, Reddit used to be right of center before the huge big tech crackdown around 2015 and beyond.

Absolutely false. Perhaps you were in the /r/TheDonald and similar subs in 2015/16, and seeing Cambridge Analytica disinformation at that time in social media, but I've been on Reddit 15 years and have seen similar balances views in /r/Politics and somewhat in /r/Worldnews, though the mods can be a problem for anyone in those subs. It's never been right of center. It started as a place mainly with IT professionals discussing IT-related items and the news, but did not become particularly left or right. Perhaps recently there is a left-lean. Also, many of them love guns and hate women and the average age always seems to be 10-17. In 2007 the average age was early '20s.

There is a lot of evidence about the aggressive, highly paid education system and corporate media propaganda movement pushing absolutely insane followers to the ideologically Extreme Woke Left with their hypocritical cult BS.

That's a thoughtfully crafted post. You might think otherwise from what I post, but I'd count myself as a slightly left of centre leaning Canadian (which in some circles would see me condemned as a Marxist-Lenninist). However, I'm finding these labels to be less and less relevant, as a simple left/right label can't adequately sum up the totality of opinions a person will have across a range of issues. Plus, like many I'm feeling politically homeless, even with a spectrum of 5 or 6 major parties that a fella could vote for up here. This is why, as you say, Saidit's potential as a place of debate is important. I'm happy to have access to this place where I disagree strongly with a number of people. It's a better situation than soaking in the tepid waters of a site that has more users and content, but it's all sanitized to march in lockstep to whatever the majority opinion is decreed to be.

He's talked before about being unable to connect with anyone, but he was referring to his IRL circles whom he tried to show without success that Covid was a psy-op. I think he was referring to that as well in the thread (based from a cursory reading of it). He became less active here after we pushed back against a few controversial bans of users here. He had different ideas about how to run this site than what the userbase expected. Most people wanted maximum free speech while that was never his intention to begin with.

[–]JasonCarswellPlatinum Foil Fedora 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

He's never bothered to collaborate, offer self-management, or build the other site he always talked about, potentially filtered from SaidIt. And there are countless other ways he's fucked up in a lack of leadership, roadmaps, newsletters, publicity, public relations, etc etc etc. He can go fuck himself for squandering SaidIt's great potential, not utilizing the people and crowdsourcing more resources and building up what could have been. Also fuck SaidIt folks for not doing the same. For better or worse, you can't say I didn't try.

People are unable to have a calm discussion about almost anything controversial or conspiratorial because of how they were trained to debate by their Marxist teachers. The main tactic the Marxist uses is the thought terminating cliche, which includes words like antisemite, homophobe, racist, etc. These are words used to end any debate. They are designed to put the opponent in the position of having to defend themselves, or enraging them. Either way, the original thought (discussing a conspiracy, like Jews own all the media) is now terminated by the cliche (antisemitism). It is a form of ridicule, which according to the Rules for Radicals book (Communist operator manual) is their most powerful tool in the toolbox. This is why we need to all stop responding to these thought terminating cliches in they way they want us to. Ignore it, or agree with them. "Yes I am racist" and go on with your other argument. They are just words, they can't hurt you. If you are worried about your reputation I assure you people like this are already slandering you behind your back. So be brave, stick to your guns, use facts and logic and get the message out there.

1) Don't depend on /u/magnora7 or SaidIt.

2) Learn how to set up federated decentralized forums, and teach others how to as well. Create a network, rather than a single point of failure that can be censored when power decides to stomp us.

I certainly didn't start sour on magnora7 over four years ago. We were once mutually friendly with much in common.

With new people I am neutral, and either they remain neutral or eventually they earn their status by proving that they warrant my respect or disdain through their expressions and actions.

Bullshit.

Tyranny is rising. Agenda 2030 has only begun.

Even before COVID there was urgency. He did little to nothing.

If ever there was a time to fucking do something, it was before people got vaccinated.
He had a platform to do something with and if did as little as fucking possible with it.

As far as I'm concerned, M7 and D3, are potentially anon limited hangouts that could do more but don't, paid or not, intentional or not, lazy or not, like shill socks, and shit Musky, are problematic in their own ways - they've squandered unfathomable potential and countless eyes and ears COULD have been better informed. Maybe I too could have done much more than put all my eggs in this shitty Saddit basket case.

There was once great hope for Saddit, and now there's just VoamIt Lite.

I hope we can all find reconciliation with each other. There's been drama but most of it is in the past now. I really appreciate that he's hosting this site, as well as the write-ups he makes. I visited his own sub a while ago and discovered his stoic writings, those were so clear and powerful. Others have likewise testified that they received great advice from him in the past. We need that version of him back. I hope he's open to talking because we must do an evaluation. In the past he wasn't open to that, so that's where any teamwork ends, but maybe enough time has passed that he'll come back from that. We should stick together and get our act together. This is an important time in history and we have the potential to provide a crucial forum.

Have hope, but expectations will disappoint.

Have hope, but expectations will disappoint.

I'm laughing, because I understand that these are words you actually live by.

You will ceaselessly petition for the outcome that you have seen your heart upon. Your efforts are valiant, but your methods aren't as valiant.

And you know it won't happen.

And still, you take a small measure of satisfaction in your defeat.. cause at least you tried, right?

It certainly won't happen if I never try - like magnora7.

I'm fucking making shit happen. I'm throwing everything and balls to the wall to see what sticks. Maybe even this...

I'm also starting up a local newsletter, am shooting a short video comedy next month, throwing a birthday bash next week, and will be teaching animation, starting a design line, and leading reorganization of local freedom prepper groups.

Something is going to happen.

Do-ocracy bitch! Do it or fuck it. Most on Saddit are the lazy fuck it types.

What IS happening?

I'm surprised shills didn't come out of the wood work to attack him. Happened to me.

Divide and Conquer.

We've been given so many reasons to hate one another, why have a convo with anyone? That's how we're supposed to feel, right?

He's not wrong. Did he also post that on Saidit?

I have not seen any post by him lately.

[–]LarrySwinger2 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

He still posts now and then. He responded to my comment a few days ago.

[–]Musky 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

I don't blame him. He wrote something on Reddit about feeling harassed here and he totally is.

Poor guy. No good deed goes unpunished.

[–]JasonCarswellPlatinum Foil Fedora 1 insightful - 3 fun1 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

Fuck that. No sympathy for someone who could have EASILY shared the burdens rather than play the victim.

He's the emo who wanted to be king. He wants to dwell in /s/CriticalThoughts wishing for community but doesn't take ANY steps to fostering one.

Jason, I appreciate your candor. :)

Shittiest admin ever.

Did Mags fuck your wife or something?

Did Mags fuck your wife or something?

Worse.

/u/Magnora7 rejected /u/JasonCarswell's proposal (not for marriage).

Seemingly unforgivable. The one that got away.

[–]JasonCarswellPlatinum Foil Fedora 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

I wish it were that romantic.

Meanwhile, he fucked us all. And some of you don't even know it.

[–]JasonCarswellPlatinum Foil Fedora 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

That would require him actually doing something.
