...AND in people who've not had the vaccine.

No. The CDC actually says the exact opposite of your claim. The CDC says people who have not been injected with Covid mRNA have a lower risk. If you think about it, it's just common sense that the virus evolves to exploit the weakened immune systems of people who have been injected with Covid mRNA that hijacks the body's cells and turns them into spike protein factories.

It was the children's aunt who had custody of them. The children's mom took her kids to her apartment, a ten minute drive away, which she rented from Fabian Marta.

Fabian Marta's only supposed crime was he declined to help the police break into and enter his tenant's home. He would only actually have been committing a crime if he had actually participated in the police's conspiracy to break into and enter her home. If the police had a warrant or other legal authority to enter the home then they can do it without his help.

I find your viewpoint to be cynical, however I cannot in good faith deny that my own viewpoint is much more cynical. It is a well established fact that COVID-19 was engineered as a bioweapon. What we don't know is if they purposely released it or understood exactly what it would do. But if the release of COVID-19 wasn't a conspiracy, then why on Earth would MSM engage in this widespread conspiracy to help cover it up? The only (possible?) explanation I can offer is that they have been turned into literal zombies. Any appearance of brain activity is only superficial.

Introverts are not a good candidate for long journeys where you are trapped in a small confined space with many other people. You will be required to exercise every day or else your body will literally rot away in the zero gravity environment. Once you arrive at the planet, you will be required to labor manually non-stop. Every resource will be hard fought for, including the very air you breathe.

Thanks for informing me on exactly how the automod rule works. I didn't understand this completely before this. Perhaps the mods of WOTB could add this information to the sidebar of the sub. That way every person on Saidit wouldn't have to constantly message the mods in order to understand this information. That could be enough to satisfy the transparency that Saidit requires.

You don't agree with Dragonerne's speech so you want to limit his right to free speech. Saidit has rules for moderators that protect free speech. The easiest way for moderators to comply with Saidit's rules is to take their sub off of /all. This allows the moderators to infringe on free speech as much as they want.

I'm an extremely loyal Trump supporter, but I'm seriously considering switching my support to RFK. Both Trump and RFK want to support the American people. The problem with Trump is he only now recognizing the extent the deep state was lying to him and manipulating him. RFK is completely aware of this threat now. My dream would be to have them work together as co-Presidents, or at least to have a town hall with both of them so that real issues can be discussed.

I think that confirms that you are right and my original assumption was wrong. The automod shadow bans users. This is troublesome because if nothing else it breaks intended transparency of public logs of bans, which is part of Saidit's core mission. I think /u/magnora7 is not going to like that.

I originally thought the same thing, but now /u/LarrySwinger2 changed my mind. Now I think you're probably right that automod is targeting users and not topics. We don't know for sure one way or the other though, so that should be part of the discussion /u/magnora7 has with the moderators.

That sub is the extreme case on Saidit. That sub mod is super paranoid. Since they're not on /all they can do pretty much whatever they want but you didn't do anything wrong. WOTB on the other hand is on /all which is why we're having this big discussion.

Yeah, you changed my mind. I think you're probably right. And I think that you're right in your original point that better communication is needed. The sub mods should be a part of this discussion.

I had assumed that automod was targeting a topic and not an user, but we actually don't know that one way or the other. You could ask the sub moderators for that information.

You're not banned from the sub. The fact that the removals are done by automod indicates the comments are off topic. I just searched the mod rules and I couldn't find anything about having to be explicit about what's off topic. I do still feel that you have a point that it would be nice if they were. But /u/magnora7 might consider that to be micromanaging.

Why are WotB allowed to break saidit sitewide mod rules? by Dragonerne in AskSaidIt

[–]AXXA 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Subs are allowed to remove comments that are off topic. This is likely the case since it is automod doing the removing. Automod doesn't have any bias.

None of that changes the fact the they have a right to limit the topic of the sub. They're not acting with bias. They simply don't want to discuss that aspect in either direction.

If it's an automod rule then it's likely that comments are removed for being off topic. It would be difficult to prove that automod is acting with bias. Perhaps they simply want the topic of the sub to be limited to politics, which is entirely reasonable.

Great minds think alike. Your comment raised my curiosity, so I did some research.

WOTB started June 12, 2016

Saidit started September 10, 2017

Can still vote on a sub I'm banned from... is this intended? by bucetao6969 in SaidIt

[–]AXXA 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

They choose to not be on /all because the rules allow them to mod however they want that way. It won't happen on other subs.

Jason is right, Saidit will never grow. At least in its current state. by bucetao6969 in SaidIt

I didn't mean it as a slight. Books never allowed us to instantly share knowledge across the Earth. Everything is a tradeoff. There's pluses and minuses to every technology. Being outdated isn't necessarily a negative either. Have you read 1984 by George Orwell?

A generation that doesn't read books lends support to my point. Here's a short Youtube summary of the book.

Thank you. I feel your zeal. I think you might be making the same kind of assumptions that I did.

Try to look at the positives instead of the negatives. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

Have you read Foundation by Isaac Asimov? The scientist Seldon forms a thousand year plan to lift civilization out of the dark ages.

Thanks for the answer. I remember the discussion now. That makes sense to start new users on subscribed until they learn more about Saidit.

Now may be an auspicious time to make another post that explains how to change their preference and why they may or may not want to. It would be good to include instructions on how to block individuals and mute subs along with it, so that "all" can still be filtered according to their wishes.
