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!
