Pick fights with everyone / Call everyone names as their sole argument / drag discussion down the Pyramid of Debate / pick fights with everyone

I'll take Things We've All Done for $200, Alex. I've been called few names by you and I'm no saint either. We aspire to the PoD, nobody here is perfect. Lol, we can be pod people.

Complain about s/ironleft being taken off of s/all for breaking the mod rules

Me and u/socks are starting a new sub, s/shitpostnews that got taken off s/all and I think it was cause we were astroturfed by the nazis. They just do that, we don't want it. It's in it's infancy but I see a lot of potential for calling out news sources, main stream and otherwise, for truly shit posts. It's a target rich environment.

I've been called few names by you and I'm no saint either.

There's a major difference between occasionally labelling someone appropriately, and throwing the word "retard" at everyone when you're unable to formulate a rational counter-argument.

I called you a jack-ass douchebag once, because you where being a jack-ass; Bob calls someone a retard because that's exactly what they are not.

Me and u/socks are starting a new sub, s/shitpostnews that got taken off s/all and I think it was cause we were astroturfed by the nazis.

I personally find it to be of some use, but would recommend more information about each news source rather than just a label.

I'm not sure why it was removed from all, but it's best not to fight with Magnora over it (u/socks) that's a pretty easy way to piss him off — it's exactly what the ironleft folks did before they got banned. I will note, however, that they where censoring posts, which is against the moderator rules; Jason would back me up on this one if he was here, because it was his post.

    You called me a douchebag too.

    Ah, yes, that's what I meant. Maybe I called you a jack-ass too, but that wasn't the case I was referring to.

    My point is not that you once called me a name and I'm mad about it, but that we ALL get upset and talk shit sometimes.

    The keyword is "sometimes"; Bob called everyone a "retard" nearly all the time.

    I'm not looking to fight.

    That was directed at u/socks, not you; I checked the mod log.

    But anything that doesn't make it to s/all is hardly worth doing since we all browse by s/all.

    I do realize that, but I would like to point out that I personally browse only the subs I'm subscribed to. I did subscribe to s/shitpostnews. By the way, I just thought of this: the sub's title and logo should be "The Shit Post", like the "Washington Post", "New York Post", etc.

    Thank you for these suggestions. /s/shitpostnews is meant to be a place for more information about the propaganda websites. I'll see how much of this we can take on board. M7 hasn't mentioned anything to us. He toggles the r/all option, but I don't know why.

    Yw. Might want to ask him if you're unsure, just try to be polite, please.

    Will do.

    That’s different though, TAM. I like you, but you have to act more professional when it comes to things like that (joking is one thing, but in a serious conversation you can’t sink down to another user’s level; you’re the one who’s supposed to keep the peace).

    Bob is just a regular user. So is AM. You however are an admin that represents SaidIt. You can’t sink to the level of a regular user just because they said or did what they did. Just clear things up factually and move on, or remove whatever content violates SaidIt’s rules and if someone asks, cite the rule and explain it’s no hard feelings, it’s as simple as that.

    Just my 2 cents, I think it’d make your life here on SaidIt a lot more easier, especially as an admin.

    Elsewhere in these comments, TAM has admitted to only being 18. Makes me wonder about M7.

    Site operation hasn't exactly been attracting users in recent months.

    TAM has admitted to only being 18.

    Don't try to pretend like my age is some big scandal. I didn't do anything wrong by being born eighteen years ago, but you're treating it like I "admitted" to some crime. I've been open that I'm eighteen since I made my account; it's public knowledge.

    Also, don't try to pretend like I ain't an adult, because eighteen is the age of majority in the United States — I don't know about your country, but in my country: I'm a legal adult, and since SaidIt's based out of the US: I feel as if we should use the American age of majority.

    Keyword Gaps

    Keywords driving traffic to competitors, but not to this site

    LMAO what?

    Site operation hasn't exactly been attracting users in recent months.

    Maybe that's because, I don't know, our website is being actively suppressed by the big tech cartel? Maybe, just maybe: Reddit shadow-banning SaidIt links and Google suppressing our website in their search results has a negative impact on the site.

    Also, don't try to pretend like I ain't an adult,

    I'm not saying it's your 'fault'. It's just that people don't become real adults until somewhere between 30 and 45, on average. Many never do. And of course that's a matter of perspective. The classic is the 5 year old talking about "when I was little". Sure, you or a 30 year old probably do see yourselves as an adult. 'IMO', there's a certain body of experience required to fill that empty vessel before that technically legal classification actually becomes the case.

    Well, that probably sounds fairly condescending. lol

    I've talked about kratom several times recently, but not enough?

    Socks gave me this. Interestingly different results.

    A bit.

    I just found it hilarious that it was number one.

    https://www.similarweb.com/website/saidit.net

    That website says that "Adult" (porn) is the fourth-largest category on SaidIt. LOL

    It does put the USA on top in this one, with India nowhere to be found — which I find odd with how much spam we get from there. It does make sense that Australia is third place, since we get a lot of spam from there too.

    It also shows our rankings going up in the US and for news, while declining worldwide. That doesn't really align with the narrative that SaidIt is dying because Magnora got rid of the iron left.

    Me and Musky are gon'o bicker — that's just how it is. He made me upset, but it ain't like I hate him. We've known each other a good while, so it is different from calling complete strangers names — especially when my choice of words are much more tame. Wow, I called someone a mild name because they kept trying to bring up dead drama — crucify me!

    Bob is just a regular user.

    Bob was a regular troll who broke the rules on a daily basis. You don't get a free "get out of jail" card when your account age exceeds a certain thresh-hold — but if that's how you think it should be: talk to Magnora about it; he's not very receptive, though.

    You however are an admin that represents SaidIt.

    I'm still entitled to my opinion that Musky was being a jerk to me. I'm a human being with feelings too, yo'know? I ain't just some robot who's supposed to never tell anyone any of my opinions.

    You can’t sink to the level of a regular user just because they said or did what they did.

    I've never sank to anyone else's level. You don't see me going around calling everyone "retards", spamming unrelated comments on random posts, making fake accounts to get my own posts on the front-page, or trying to push the boundaries of what Magnora considers pornography.

    I called my friend a mild name because he upset me — how is that the same as what u/bobbobbybob and the other LXXXVIII assets have been doing?

    Just clear things up factually and move on, or remove whatever content violates SaidIt’s rules and if someone asks, cite the rule and explain it’s no hard feelings, it’s as simple as that.

    I only remove ads, bots, and alt accounts of users Magnora's already banned. I don't know if you're trying to say I banned u/bobbobbybob, but I didn't.

    I also give a lot of opinions people don't like, but ain't that the whole point of SaidIt?

    Uh as an admin, it should NEVER happen that you call people names in public.

    But then again, a child should never be an admin.

    Good to know you support censorship and oppose free speech. The far-right is just like the far-left.

    But then again, a child should never be an admin.

    I'm eighteen years old, which is the age of majority in the United States. I don't know about your country, but considering how SaidIt is based in the US: it should use our age of majority, not yours. Foreigners should stop telling us how to run our country.

    [–][deleted] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

    This is a WEBSITE. The web is international. Also, I don't care what the LEGAL age of "majority" is. I care about MATURITY which is what defines a child. You are a child for at LEAST 7 more years and considering your degenerate inner workings, you should probably be relegated to the status of defective fauna instead of being grouped together with actual people, much less being given power to regulate anything at all that people do. It's utterly asinine.

    Again, to reiterate because this seems way above your head: as an admin you are a representative of saidit. Calling people names is dragging the discussion down the pyramid of debate. Users do it to some extent, that is true. But that doesn't mean that YOU as a representative of the website are not to be held to a higher standard. You should show the example. But you can't because of your immaturity. You just proved me right.

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

    This is a WEBSITE. The web is international.

    Websites have to obey the laws of their home country first and foremost.

    I care about MATURITY which is what defines a child.

    Your behavior ain't exactly mature.

    You are a child for at LEAST 7 more years

    No true Scotsman.

    There's a difference between insulting others and labelling a foreigner as a foreigner.
