Who do you think socks was hurting on this site that's full of anti-system people?

Everyone.

Regulars were fed up with his shit. New folks were turned off. Truth-seekers were confused by him. Lonely folks were finding solace in his sketchy conversations. And tyranny is seeking any reason to stomp us - including for advocating violence. And Quakers will be forever maligned via guilt by association.

New folks were turned off.

How, if this is supposed to be a free speech site (or at least more free than Reddit)?

You either support free speech for everyone or you just want your own echo chamber.

It's never been a free-speech site. It's always been for free-thinking and truth-seeking. The problem is not "fear of different ideas" or echo chambers, as has been said to death. Bad faith liars and advocates for violence are not welcome.

Bad faith liars

Isn't that just another label for "people I disagree with"? On Reddit they call them "racists", "homophobes" and such.

No.

You should know there is a profound difference between someone who earnestly believes in a position with all its pros and cons and someone who deceives as a means to an end for whatever paycheck, zealot, or "justified" reasons they deem necessary.

On Reddit they call them "racists", "homophobes" and such.

I hope SaidIt is still better than Reddit where I refuse to spend time.
