I love the fact that people with different opinions are all allowed here.

He means bringing other sort of people in too so it won't be flooded with only "nazis" like voat. If people avoid a site because its known for having nazis, only nazis will go there, and that site will become an echochamber. Same if a site would be flooded by communists, or anarchists, or anyone else really - to make sure that a site won't become an echochamber, you have to have people with differing opinions too. If it takes bringing bernie and biden supporters in to achieve that, then so be it. It all goes hand in hand with freedom of speech, doesn't it?

    You come to a new site, isn't happy with the existing culture and wishes to form it to your own ideal even at the cost of the existing culture.

    I never said that I was unhappy? And of course i said the same thing as the last guy considering that i explained what I thought he was trying to say. Your detective work is top notch.

    If only this was a free speech site or even a site that advocated free speech...

    "We're trying to create an environment that encourages thought-provoking discussion, like how reddit used to be 7+ years ago, when Aaron Swartz was still around." "When voting on content, please think of the Pyramid of Debate, as we aspire to the upper levels and get to the truth of what's being discussed, and to let everyone have their say." From Magnora's "welcome to saidit" post. Sounds pretty free speech to me.

    And "the existing culture"? Really? Sounds pretty elitist - if encouraging saidit to have people of all ideologies and all opinions populate the site and discuss/debate with civility, and not impose an echochamber is "against the existing culture" then I'm against the existing culture. But I don't think everyone here thinks like you on this subject, so I won't claim that I'm against any aspect of saidit's "culture".

    Aaron Swartz

    It always makes me sad reading his name. His story broke my heart. Anyone's interested should watch Internet's own boy movie.
