Maybe just ban IPs from India?

submitted by TaseAFeminist4Jesus from self.help

Seriously, I know it's racist as fuck, but what do the posts from India add? None of us care about Indian politics or want to patronize Indian brothels or SEO firms. Just get them the fuck off the site, please. Those fuckers need digital apartheid.

Sounds reasonable to me.

Great idea, but last I checked, something like 30% of Saidit's traffic was via Indian IPs. So banning IP ranges is a non-starter for m7. I suppose we need more mods. BTW: you should meet Darshan Hiranandani.

Freeing up the site traffic and get rid of annoying Hindispam? Sounds like a win-win.

And what percentage are bots?

Could easily be the same 30%

[–]Bitch-Im-a-cow 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

They're likely using bots.

You know, when the attack happened in Jewrael, pornography posts stopped appearing for a while on /pol, maybe ban IP's from there too?

[–]dissidentrhetoric 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Ban them as well

Saidit: Come for the racist conspiretards, stay for the curry-bot spam!

Are they really racist, or do they just get off on watching people clutch their pearls by saying nigger in every comment?

I suppose reddit is to blame for their overbearing censorship, and this is just the rebound effect.

Though I'm inclined to believe that they're serious about it myself--based on how consistent they are and how they'd have to be really pathetic to waste that much time clowning on Saidit--it's certainly possible that they're shitposters looking for a reaction.

Unfortunately, we'll never know for sure either way and it'll still draw in like-minded people who think it's legit.

[–]RedditButt 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

idk, I'm kinda torn. I'm for allowing such things as it indicates free speech, but I don't like how we try to get away from censor-nazi giants like reddit, and "offensive" things get tested so constantly on sites like this that it drives away most of the people that would be beneficial to having dogshit sites like reddit have digg 2.0 happen to them. I showed many people saidit, and many of them just took one look and left after seeing stuff like loljewniggerfaggotsdid911 on the front page a few times.

I feel I'm smart enough to see beyond it and understand that's a cost of free speech, but unfortunately, it seems most people aren't.

[–]LordoftheFlies 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

I'm fully in favor of them freely posting their opinion, because just censoring it into a dark hole doesn't actually get rid of it.

And I know exactly what steps to take if I just absolutely can't stand it anymore.

[–]RedditButt 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Yeah...

So have you ever been banned from reddit after reporting CSAM? I would say that's the worst of the worst.

[–]LordoftheFlies 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

No, can't say as I've had that dubious distinction on my Reddit record. In fact, in spite of having been a member of a few subs that were brigaded by (among others) members of bardfinn's personal hate mob over at AHS--who are notorious for using kiddie porn in their brigading--I've never even seen any of that filth on Reddit myself.

jews did 9/11

There are actual racists and actual nazis.

[–]RedditButt 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I'm sure there is, but it only propagates from those with the lowest level of emotional intelligence. We're all racist or come to premature conclusions based on correlations to things we've drawn ourselves, but smarter people mature beyond that, and realize that it's not correct to overgeneralize and judge people based on superficial features.

[–]ID10T 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

It's not racist at all. The fact is most bot traffic comes from India, China, and Russia. I worked on a large web platform that blocked IPs from those countries as every hacking attempt came from them and there were many.

[–]Scolias 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I'm a sysadmin and one of the many things I do with new setups is region block china india and russia lmao.

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

Yes. Let's do that.

[–]Drewski 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

They can always use a VPN, I don't think it would help much.

[–]westway9 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

There are ways to block vpns. Some websites ban whole ranges of IP addresses. I assume it's because they know those are used by VPN services.

[–]ID10T 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

VPNs cost money though. Bots typically don't use them. Region blocking India, China, and Russia is an effective measure for protecting web platforms.

[–]Hematomato 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

India has the best incels, and we're one of the best incel-friendly sites left on the Internet that isn't incels.me.

[–]dissidentrhetoric 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yes, ban india and china subnets.

[–]Jiminy 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Cuz of vpns you never know where someone is from

[–]carn0ld03 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Banning Indian IP's is a good first move. It'll force them to use VPN's to get through, which will be an added expense for their spam operation.

Cancers must be excised.
