Yep incels and ice poseidon2 showed up and overwhelmed the site. Then we got DDOSed and we're down for like 5 days, and our web host kicked us out, so that was a mess. The root cause is someone got our real ip address, so chat is down until we can verify it's secure... Shit keeps coming up but it will come back. If you can find more missing/failing reply links I'm interested in fixing that.

Good gravy!

I know what incels are. Not a tolerant nor self-responsible lot. I don't know what Ice Poseidon2 is. A brief look on DDG doesn't explain anything other than they got banned from Reddit.

I briefly looked in the /s/SaidIt thread to look for anything I missed in the last few months. Nothing really stood out, though I saw that you were back up again.

So the Swiss guys kicked you out? That doesn't seem fair. Did you return to Houston or something?

I'm not a fan of the "faggot" and "nigger" and "fuck muh incel life and anyone who criticizes it" stuff. Also the partisan crap is stupid among people who think they know because they've been politically woke for 3 years but they haven't even begun. Aside from that, is there really much reason to attack SaidIt, besides the mostly uncensored anti-corruption truth-seeking?

I guess you can't just get a new IP address? Did you ever get the second server for the chat to bounce off? Good to hear it wasn't taken off for good. I thought maybe it was being abused and a policy change happened.

I don't know what missing/failing reply links are. I feel like you asked about that months ago. I didn't know then either.

What if any, big advances in the site have happened in the last few months?

I saw more talk of decentralization but that talk is as good as mine. I see countless pointless new subs. That one got away from you guys. Sure I participated, and it took a few months to glean how to best try to organize it all, but at least I was trying. That other Reddit-clone that DeaMae recommended controlled their topics/categories, though I have yet to try it. Metatags might seem best IMO.

During my month offline, I had some ideas I wanted to pitch you regarding software, but much of the specifics are lost in time.

Oh, we also killed our /s/home page, and encouraged everyone to set /s/subscribed as their home page, and that's the new default, so we are back to a reddit-like configuration.

Pffft.

That's the sound of community dying.

People will retreat into their bubbles.

Bigly sad.

Am I wrong?

It is kind of a retreat into bubbles, but Ice Poseidon 2 showed up with at least 10x our active users and posted at least 10x more than any other sub. So the /s/all feed was pretty much taken over and alienating old users. We didn't have sub mute then, so it was getting awkward.

Similar with incels, they had a busy couple of weeks at first.

I'm pretty sure this was mentioned before during another surge.

What if there were "diversity limits" - ie. only the top 8* of any sub may be displayed on every page of 25* posts.

The * indicates a number to be voted and determined.

The incels seem active enough now. They had a sub many months ago. I was always bothered that they unfairly blocked me for a couple comments without malice, yet M7 did nothing. Eventually they restored me I discovered, without appology or notice. Now it seems I'm blocked or muted or something. I can see their post but not comment.
