kind of like magnora did to the icepoisodon sub... now the "front page" is not really even a thing anymore.

This is an unfair interpretation of how things developed with IP.

M7 made the change with IP, because hundreds of IP refugees transitioned to Saidit after Reddit banned IP.

The IP refugee population outnumbered the active member base of the Saidit community by many multiples.

They basically took over.

Practically every minimally significant IP post had dozens of upvotes, at a time when a post with 20 upvotes was a big deal in any other sub.

The IP leadership were good guys, and they recognized the impact on the site.

It wasn't admin aggression, or specific censorship (other than what was externally imposed by the server companies).

IP leadership worked with M7, and the IP community was overall pretty cool about it.

The IP community has some clever, persistent, and creative characters.

They knew how to mess things up and create a lot of extra work for M7; if/when they wanted to.

Refugees are generally grateful for the accommodations that they receive from their hosts.

It's human nature.

There will always be a few bad actors who behave in an unacceptable manner, but the number of bad actors is trivial in comparison to the overall refugee population.

just to be clear I wasn't saying the front page on here isn't a thing anymore. that quote kind of makes it look like that. on reddit it's called "top" now. I really wish I could tell how many real upvotes they have. edit: nvm it's like that here too. w/e Ill stop using site then.
