That's the opposite of a deflection, smoothbrain. I was agreeing with you and backing you up with facts, yet you lash out at me like a typical aryan-gentile-heterodegenerate.

Not everyone is appreciating this joke account, Skeeter.

Insults again? Why aren't you banned from Saidit by now?

That's skeeter, he's probably has the most banned accounts here. I'm leaving the reports up for D3, but if he bans that one too, Skeeter still has 3 (at least) active accounts right now

Don't fall for his trolling, he's doing this for fun.

They feed on replies.

He's not a bad dude, he was doing really well sticking to one-ish account and contributing for a while. Then he does this, which although I personally find occasionally amusing, I understand how it's not appreciated generally.

I suspect it's a major factor in the current low user population. The problem is the more users who go quiet, the greater percentage of the comments the trolls occupy.

It's just one mentally unhinged former addict. Personally I think he's more of a lolcow. I mean, what crazy antics will Skeeter get up to next? I wonder. I think stuff like that gives Saidit its charm, its character. In five years when he's dead we're going to look back and remember these times fondly.

The big complaint I noticed from the last batch of new users is that the site looks dead. s/all needs to be the default browsing option, looking by sub as one would on reddit doesn't work great here.

s/all/comments to go right to the action.

There should be some sort of exit poll to find out exactly why people leave. But I'm noticing the same phenomenon on some other sites too. It's almost like people are leaving the internet.

I figured that's how you found those comments on that 9 month old thread.

It's almost like people are leaving the internet

What the average person thinks, and what Big Tech wants us to be able to say differ vastly. I assume people are getting banned, cancelled, and having to deal with mobs of hateful social media users, and all of those things drive people away. https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/forums/ still seems super active for a site about shaving.

Good numbers. Probably helps that it's a 'safe' topic. Interesting that they're contributing to breast cancer instead of testicular cancer.

How is it you two are acquainted with so many trolls on a first-name basis? You work for the same social media influencing company?

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

... I'm trying to help you. He's kooky and playful, and you're this. I don't know why I bother. Are you mean to cashiers too?

[–]Chipit[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

You didn't answer the question. How is it you're on a first name basis with these trolls?

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

Skeeter isn't his real name, it's just one of his accounts and I use that name to refer to him. We think his real name is Ed, and we know that because Jason noticed him referring to himself as such on an audio recording he posted.

Any other questions?
