If I had to take a guess (because all I can do is guess at this)
it might be because magnora7 has helped this site to weather numerous DDoS attacks in the past months.
He's gotten good at.....whatever it is he does.

I think the best thing we can do right now is to keep making Saidit a better place, more in line with what Aaron Swartz wanted Reddit to be.
Besides, creation feels better than destruction.

Be the content you want to see online. ;)
But seriously, I'd suggest going to the Edit Subs tab
https://saidit.net/subs/mine/
and going down the entire list, adding anything you have a remote interest in.
I'll be perfectly honest, most of them are barren wastelands at this time, but at least this way if anything gets posted that you'll have some interest in seeing, you'll see it.
Between now and November we're going to see a lot more people showing up here. Many of them are going to be people like you and me; Fed up with the two party system and sick of having their drivel shoved down our throats.

Glad to see the site back up and functional again. Thanks magnora, and d3rr. I'm sure you guys have been beating your head against walls for the past few days.

We certainly have some interesting new neighbors in our community. I haven't yet made my mind up about them. Many seem to be pretty cordial folks, and others....are not. But we're going to have to learn more about one another and come to some agreements because it seems we're all going to be sharing this space for a while.

I agree that their presence is troubling to those of us who have been here for a while. I can get past most of the crude posting, but when their users immediately suggest they use this site as a staging area for brigades

I'm not terribly impressed.

At the very least some of them seem to know what kind of group they are.

I believe in the long run these folks would be better off taking the same open-source software that was used to create Said.it and use it make their own site.

An 18-Year-Old Said She Was Raped While In Police Custody. The Officers Say She Consented. She thought it would be a simple case. She had no idea she lived in one of 35 states where officers can claim a detainee consented. by magnora7 in PoliceMisconduct

[–]VantaFount 9 insightful - 1 fun9 insightful - 0 fun10 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Why the fuck should consent factor into this at all? This is akin to a boss sleeping with their subordinate and saying "Oh well it's all consensual!" So long as you hold sway over the person you're screwing, you have leverage against them. And police have the most leverage of all!

This one? This is a new name for an old man. Been kinda stewing in a funk for the past week, sickened by old haunts and hiveminds, and when I started looking for new pastures, I decided I needed a new identity. Thought about what form that persona might take, and the only image that came to mind was a fountain of blackest ichor.
So Vanta (a word which I later learned means "boastful") like vantablack, and Fount.
Not very poetic, but it'll do for now.
