Saidit is back online!

magnora7 · 2023-06-17T09:19:26+00:00

It seems your main complaint is that we don't advertise enough.

Then help us spread the word! You don't have to be an admin to do that.

Changing management isn't going to suddenly create more advertising buzz... if anything the opposite, because I've been promoting this site endlessly, for free, for years now. You won't get a better deal than that. This site operates on $102/mo, all of which goes to server costs, so any growth has to come from word of mouth, from users like you.

Also saidit grew a lot today, we had 1280 comments in the last 24 hours, which is a higher number than I've seen in a long while.

magnora7 · 2023-08-20T04:05:10+00:00

Got caught doing blatant vote manipulation on multiple posts to try and take over the front page. Not allowed on saidit.

magnora7 · 2023-12-15T18:16:17+00:00

You're welcome. Thanks for being patient.

magnora7 · 2023-10-01T14:41:46+00:00

Just FYI this setting is automated by cloudflare and means we're under attack big time. I also noticed another big forum I frequent is also in lock-down mode today as well, so it's probably internet-wide. I wonder if it's election bots/shills getting started for this upcoming election.

It is frustrating, but the alternative is that we get DDOS'd so hard the site goes down. So I know it sucks, but just be happy the site is up at all, because most websites in our position wouldn't be online anymore.

magnora7 · 2024-01-07T05:13:42+00:00

Bless you, may you grow out of this awful mindstate in to something peaceful. I believe in you.

magnora7 · 2024-01-07T04:56:01+00:00

Find some real meaning in life and use it well, instead of squandering your time on this Earth. You know deep down this is not how you really want to be acting.

magnora7 · 2024-01-07T04:44:23+00:00

Imagine if you used your time to do something productive instead of what you're doing.

magnora7 · 2023-09-27T06:09:09+00:00

This data doesn't even include deaths that died within 14 days of getting the shot, as they weren't counted as "vaccinated" so the numbers are likely much worse!

And furthermore, the spike protein and mRNA was supposed to go away in a matter of weeks. Instead they're finding the mRNA is put in to DNA through an enzyme called reverse-transcriptase.

They said it would stay in the muscle cells near the injection area. But (especially without aspiration) it will get in to the blood. And because of the nanolipids it's coated in to get it inside of cells, it can also cross the blood-brain barrier.

So people are having mRNA go in to their heart cells, and brain cells, and begin making spike proteins.

And studies now show that in some percentage of people, the production of spike proteins NEVER ENDS.

So any health condition, such as amyloidosis, that can be caused by too many spike proteins coagulating in one area, will just get worse and worse. (Although I have read NAC, Nattokinase, and bromalin (aka pineapples) all help break these spike proteins down, so that might help if you are having weird heart or circulatory issues after getting the mRNA shots, but I am no doctor, I am just repeating what I have read so do you own research.

Furthermore it seems in some people the body adapts to the spike proteins, and begins to see them as part of the body so the immune system ignores them. Then upon infection of a new strain of covid, they get it REALLY BAD. This has to do with the igg4, and the disease is basically ADE (antibody-dependent enhancement) which people warned about from day 1. That's what the ferrets in the mRNA injection studies died from. ADE upon reinfection.

Almost as many people have died of the shots as have died of covid. That's what this video is saying. 150k died of the shots in the UK, and about 200k died of covid in the first year and a half of it in the UK. So the medicine has almost killed as many as the disease, and the death count overall is nearly doubled.

Yet even despite all this data, governments and corporations are STILL recommending this? It's truly unreal. The data is out. This is no longer a matter of question. This is a public health disaster, perhaps the worst in history. It's time to speak out.

magnora7 · 2023-06-12T19:35:22+00:00

As someone who does know what this looks like server-side, I can't understand why they would have an outage due to low traffic either. Unless they have some system that depends on bot activity that they're suddenly not getting or something like that, but it seems highly unlikely. My guess is they're probably panicking trying to compartmentalize and contain the damage from the strike, and making technical mistakes in the process, and blaming it on users

magnora7 · 2024-01-24T20:59:14+00:00

The spam posts went from 100 an hour to 2 an hour after I turned on cloudflare, it very clearly had a positive effect.

No other sites do this because we don't have any money or employees or anything. Reddit has hundreds of full time paid staff. Most other forum websites of our size or larger also have paid staff. We run on $120/mo total so it's not going to run like a million dollar operation.

magnora7 · 2023-12-30T00:23:41+00:00

The fact everything is transitory and nothing lasts forever, including sadness and low points.

magnora7 · 2023-12-21T20:45:33+00:00

That sub needs to be taken off of s/all if they ban anyone who disagrees with them. As per saidit rules.

done

magnora7 · 2023-08-20T04:07:48+00:00

Vote manipulation is a bannable offense and he got caught doing it repeatedly

magnora7 · 2023-06-12T19:42:41+00:00

I think it's important but I also kind of agree. To me, it was obvious reddit was wrecked 5+ years ago, which is why I made saidit. It's kind of been blowing my mind how slowly reddit has collapsed, especially compared to digg which basically imploded overnight. Reddit did a good job containing the damage of public revolts compared to digg, despite all their other failures

magnora7 · 2023-06-05T21:41:10+00:00

Do not advocate violence on saidit.

magnora7 · 2023-05-09T15:52:40+00:00

Advocating violence is not allowed on saidit, and will result in an account ban.

magnora7 · 2024-04-15T01:32:47+00:00

Oh it definitely stops bots. We turned it off a few months ago and the site was immediately filled with an insane amount of spam

magnora7 · 2024-04-15T01:02:43+00:00

And I'm tired of shills pretending to be users to try and manipulate me to make this site more open to attacks... It's not working...

magnora7 · 2024-02-26T14:58:11+00:00

And don't forget this tidbit about the Epstein ring: "[former Epstein trafficking victim] Maria Farmer told Whitney Webb that Ghislaine Maxwell told her that the Rothschilds were the greatest protector of her family."

And Lynn Rothschild is Hillary Clinton's best friend and it's known they email each other regularly... And Bill rode Epstein's plane "Lolita Express" 11 times according to the flight logs.

And remember how Jacob's company, Genie Energy and Genel Energy, were the only 2 companies allowed to drill for oil in Syria via the Golan heights and the other via Iraq, as the Syrian war was happening?

Reading the wiki article about Nat, it seems he is a big property developer in Ukraine. He's going to make a ton of money rebuilding Ukraine, that's probably half the reason the war is happening.

Remember the quote from mother of the original 5 sons of Rothschild, Jacob's Great-great-grandmother: "If my sons didn't want there to be war, there would be none."

magnora7 · 2024-02-22T23:18:32+00:00

So they're really doing the IPO thing finally... part of why we built saidit was in anticipation of reddit going IPO and banning/blocking tons of subreddits and users as a result, who may then migrate to saidit to enjoy actual free speech.

Looks like it's finally happening.

magnora7 · 2024-02-07T22:41:59+00:00

Sad, the crypto space is really falling apart slowly compared to a few years ago. I think online retailers not accepting payment in crypto is one of the major failure points.

magnora7 · 2024-01-30T17:42:42+00:00

Mods removed this along with other comments that were fair discussion, and so I'm taking them off of /all as they were originally, and they should not have undone the previous removal from /all

magnora7 · 2024-01-25T01:04:27+00:00

magnora7 · 2024-01-24T21:01:09+00:00

Better than letting the forum be destroyed by bad actors. Nothing is perfect, and saidit is no exception.

magnora7 · 2024-01-24T20:27:01+00:00

Block button doesn't work when the use a different username for each post, which they were doing. The cloudflare thing is annoying but it's better than the AI and spam posts, trust me.

magnora7 · 2024-01-24T19:46:14+00:00

Having 60% of posts and comments be nonsense AI spam ruins it way worse than having to check a box sometimes

magnora7 · 2024-01-24T16:03:30+00:00

Soon judges won't know what the meaning of "is" is, and everyone will be blinded by perpetual confusion, unable to think a single clear thought. Or that's what some social engineers seem to want to happen.

Lots of people see what what is going on, and aren't putting up with it.

magnora7 · 2024-01-23T00:28:08+00:00

Wow nice. I look forward to all the youtube videos in 50 years "We found this abandoned rover on mars and recharged it!"

magnora7 · 2024-01-21T03:09:14+00:00

Yes, always.

magnora7 · 2024-01-21T03:07:55+00:00

Cheers, love you guys and have enjoyed reading this thread. Thanks for being here. I appreciate you all.

My favorite thing about saidit is the free speech too. In a time of censorship, I'm glad we have info that can be hard or impossible to find on MSM.

magnora7 · 2024-01-19T08:48:35+00:00

Thanks, I'm looking in to it.

magnora7 · 2024-01-07T05:24:06+00:00

If this place didn't matter, you wouldn't spend so much time attacking it. You just keep proving the value of this place with your actions.

magnora7 · 2024-01-07T04:32:28+00:00

100%

magnora7 · 2024-01-07T04:31:38+00:00

and it goes bad it's whatever.

I'm not so willing to just let the thing implode as you are, sorry.

magnora7 · 2024-01-06T18:16:05+00:00

The ultimate root problem is that this is a terrible endless job that no one wants to do, I'm not sure there is a way to do this without burning out everyone who volunteers, and I find that upsetting.

Similar to how I put mccheetah as a mod of askreddit to remove spam, maybe I'll do a bunch of anti-spam appointments on a sub-by-sub basis. Maybe that'd be more stable long-term and divide up the work more evenly, and prevent burnout.

magnora7 · 2024-01-05T20:39:46+00:00

And post-internet times...

magnora7 · 2024-01-05T20:24:36+00:00

80% of those were probably bots that will gradually return... The population waxes and wanes here and always has anyway. They're not really "lost" in most cases. A lot of people are just quitting internet forums in general too since they're all such dumpster fires

magnora7 · 2024-01-03T16:44:57+00:00

Thanks chatGPT

magnora7 · 2024-01-03T16:44:06+00:00

Here's the reddit thread where the pharma bots pretend like this is no big deal, and that the Florida surgeon general is insane for having concerns about the negative health impacts of this experimental technology: https://old.reddit.com/r/news/comments/18xjxtj/florida_state_surgeon_general_calls_for_halt_in/

Reddit is so insanely compromised, as is much of media regarding this issue due to financial interests and the presence of shill groups and bot farms, and it's leading to this public health disaster.

magnora7 · 2024-01-03T11:43:30+00:00

Agreed, but anyone mentioned should be heavily investigated. Instead of just ignoring it, like what seems to be happening

magnora7 · 2023-12-16T19:55:52+00:00

Can confirm the google store censored the saidit android app after a few years and about 5000 downloads, they just removed it one day without saying anything.

magnora7 · 2023-12-16T00:39:47+00:00

I'm shadowbanned from commenting on all of youtube also. It's probably extremely common yet no one talks about it. You think you're participating but no one ever sees it or votes, it disappears from view when you log out

magnora7 · 2023-12-15T22:13:34+00:00

The canary expired so even if I posted it, I'm not sure it means anything anymore, because as originally intended the one-time switch has been permanently flipped, so to speak.

But the site hasn't been compromised any more than what you can see in the comments and posts here every day. The compromising is occurring at the user post and comment level, not at the admin level, which saidit has been careful to avoid.

magnora7 · 2023-10-02T03:27:18+00:00

Haha you nailed it

magnora7 · 2023-10-01T18:09:39+00:00

Saidit gets about a third of a million page load requests a month, and probably half of those are fraudulent (originating from malicious DDOS attacks). During a heavy attack day we might have 10x the page load requests of normal, during which probably 98% of the page requests are fraudulent. Cloudflare ensures (most of) those fraudulent connection attempts stop at cloudflare and don't hit our main server, which is how we're able to stay online.

We've been DDOS attacked multiple times daily for 5 years now. As a result we can never turn our DDOS protection off. So someone out there is setting aside resources on the regular to do this. For years.

I remember the day saidit opened to the public, before we had a registration captcha set up, someone used a script to register all the active usernames from the subreddits where I showed people saidit, and then they auto-registered thousands of usernames, and stole everyone's usernames who might've migrated. Just to frustrate migration and growth of this site. They did this literally hours after we opened the website, they had an automated script ready to go.

This place has been under nonstop attack since day 1, via every method possible from hardware attacks to social engineering, it has honestly surprised me how bad it's been over the last 5 years, I would've never guessed it was this bad. Whoever these groups are, they really don't want forums like saidit to exist.

magnora7 · 2023-10-01T16:38:08+00:00

A few years ago we were hosted in Switzerland and our server company there actually forcefully dropped us as a client because the nonstop DDOSes were so bad it was impacting their entire server farm and eating up all their bandwidth. Like we were breaking their whole company.

Running a forum is surprisingly heavy-duty. Saidit is a fortress. And forums that aren't, get destroyed. It's a real problem for free speech

magnora7 · 2023-09-27T08:09:58+00:00

Okay, I will do that, but it's going to be a couple weeks at least.

magnora7 · 2023-06-22T08:31:35+00:00

Welcome!

magnora7 · 2023-06-18T01:10:40+00:00

I understand your concern, but this is the reason why: https://saidit.net/s/whatever/comments/ay50/reddit_blackout_welcome_thread/12iw0

They instead often see something worse. We have it this way to help put our best foot forward.

magnora7 · 2023-06-14T06:31:38+00:00

It's just not one of the default subs because it historically hasn't been active enough to warrant being a main sub

magnora7 · 2023-06-13T05:33:29+00:00

No, sorry but I can't make that change. Unfortunately, what happens is people make subs with very questionable names and then upvote themselves and those subs to the front page daily for weeks, and begin posting actual legitimate news in those fringe subs like it's the main sub for the whole saidit website, and then over weeks and months new users see awful sub names on half the posts everyday and it absolutely drives people away.

It's a way to subvert the website, by making one fringe extremist sub take over the front page. And it's very hard to get rid of once it takes root. This has happened twice. So we have it this way for a reason. I wish we could have it defaulted to /all without this problem occurring. However I totally understand the desire for easier access to information.

That's why we added functionality so users can change their frontpage to 'all' by default in the 'preferences' button by your username. Guests without a username who want to view it can go to https://saidit.net/s/all as well. Thanks.

magnora7 · 2023-06-13T00:17:30+00:00

Interesting point, makes a lot of sense, especially if they all keep attempting to access repeatedly after the first failed attempt

magnora7 · 2023-06-12T22:50:23+00:00

Agreed, although I'm not even sure what a decent compromise would honestly look like in practice. Just a complete walkback of everything they stated in the last few months? Even then, the problem still persists that made them try it in the first place, the motivations and people that caused it are not changed at all. Leaving reddit and planting roots on other forums is the only true way forward, imo. The huge power reddit has over the information flow of the current internet is insane, and that is the actual root problem underneath all the other problems. It's too centralized, and the power is being abused. Instead there needs to be many more forums that are all frequently used. Putting all our eggs in one basket was never a good idea.

I have to say the current strike method has succeeded in generating quite a bit of conversation though, which is good.

magnora7 · 2023-06-12T22:43:15+00:00

Monthly is a good idea too. Also a strike should have a goal and if the goal is accomplished the strike should end. I assume the goal is "end the API request fees" but several 3rd party services have already been killed off, so I'm not sure what a win looks like at this point.

I think the only real win is migrating off of reddit, because reddit is obviously culturally broken at the root, and it's not like the CEO is magically going to start behaving properly because of this strike. We know where reddit stands, and it has been this way for a long time, so we should be acting on it by migrating to other platforms.

magnora7 · 2023-06-12T21:53:21+00:00

Minus the bots and shills, I really wonder how many human beings are active on that website every month. I bet it's 1/10th of their stated number, they're trying to drive up valuations and metrics with bot activity, and reddit has done this from day 1 when they made tons of fake accounts to make reddit look popular, until it actually was. Saidit never did that. So reddit has a long long history of fluffing itself up to make it look like more than it is.

But overall I agree with the strike. I just think that a strike shouldn't have a fixed ending date, or they'll just wait it out and go back to normal. Also this should've happened years ago, there was just never enough of a unifying event until this API fiasco.

magnora7 · 2023-06-12T21:22:37+00:00

I agree, but it's also good to get those niche hobby subs started with some seed posts, so when a switchover happens it's not a cold-start

magnora7 · 2023-06-12T00:04:16+00:00

Do not advocate violence on saidit, this is your last warning.

magnora7 · 2023-06-11T10:16:57+00:00

No we can't change it, because turning down tor limitations results in tons of spam accounts and spam posts that make this site even more unusable.

Try having a fixed IP, or just turning off VPNs. VPNs are largely just honeypots anyway...

magnora7 · 2023-06-10T21:58:47+00:00

Don't advocate violence on saidit

magnora7 · 2023-06-08T09:30:21+00:00

Don't advocate violence on saidit.

magnora7 · 2023-06-08T09:28:05+00:00

User donations pay for about half these days. A couple years ago user donations were covering 100%, maybe someday we could get back to that. Total costs are only $110/mo, thankfully we priced it low as possible with longevity in mind.

magnora7 · 2023-06-08T09:25:25+00:00

At the bottom of every page, on the right side. Crypto is preferred, but patreon is also an option. Thanks!

magnora7 · 2023-06-05T21:37:49+00:00

Do not advocate violence on saidit.

magnora7 · 2023-05-02T19:46:57+00:00

Advocating violence is against saidit rules. Do it again and I will ban your account. Last warning.

magnora7 · 2024-04-15T01:58:31+00:00

I get standing up for unpopular people, and I'm right there with you. I built this website for that reason, after all.

However I am acting on a pattern I have noticed that is clearly acting with malicious intent toward this website. This guy will have a new account... he even already made one in seconds with the 311 account to complain about the 211 account being banned and say how anti-free speech I am... which is also part of the pattern I have seen literally dozens of times now.

He's so very clearly not acting in good faith toward the website, nor does he want to have productive conversations. It's a troll trying to drive wedges and causing discord.

And plus they advocated violence, which is very clearly against the rules. The accounts of his always eventually cross in to this as well. That's the end of the line.

So all in all, pretty open-and-shut case here.

magnora7 · 2024-04-15T01:47:50+00:00

Agreed. VPNs are honeypots, by and large. They sell your data to the fed, and this is proven

magnora7 · 2024-04-15T01:44:39+00:00

He's an obvious troll that isn't acting in good faith, as you pointed out.

Then on top of it he's making the old refrain of "this place is dead" and "magnora7 is a bad person" and "why can't we turn down the captchas?" over and over and over and over like it's his job. Because it is.

I'm not sure why anyone would go to bat for people who are here obviously to undermine and destroy this website... they're not even having a conversation in good faith, they're here to make a huge mess and the post history shows that. And yourself said they were advocating for the murder of women, were you not? So they've clearly broken so many saidit rules it's not even worth defending them...

magnora7 · 2024-04-15T01:39:15+00:00

Ban evasion isn't allowed.

magnora7 · 2024-04-15T01:38:26+00:00

I have seen him do this exact same thing literally every other week for years, as well as overwhelmingly posting content that exists solely to make saidit look bad. He's clearly just here to make a mess and drive people away... a depressed kid doesn't keep hanging around the same website for years on end trying to convince everyone it's dead. A real person would get bored and move on to something else

magnora7 · 2024-04-15T01:33:16+00:00

they use VPNs to spoof any country so that doesn't help

magnora7 · 2024-04-15T01:02:54+00:00

Thank you for understanding how this site actually works.

magnora7 · 2024-03-31T16:12:09+00:00

Cloudflare apparently has different protocols for different browsers. I've experienced the same thing. Sorry it's obnoxious, the only other alternative with our zero budget is to have this place overrun by bot spam.

magnora7 · 2024-02-26T14:54:41+00:00

Turns out he has a twitter, interesting to read through: https://twitter.com/natrothschild1?lang=en

magnora7 · 2024-02-22T23:19:29+00:00

Sure, I just sent the invite.

magnora7 · 2024-02-08T20:50:28+00:00

Yes I saw and replied, I'm sorry you can't access your inbox, unfortunately I have no idea how to fix this or what could even be wrong. That sucks. Maybe create a new username and PM me. I tried to add you as mod to 2 subs but I guess you didn't see those messages either.

magnora7 · 2024-02-07T22:53:52+00:00

I just invited you to be moderator of a few subs this guy is spamming if you want to help with the whack-a-mole.

magnora7 · 2024-02-07T22:50:40+00:00

Just sent you an invite to mod a few subs that he is spamming. Good luck!

magnora7 · 2024-02-07T22:49:17+00:00

Just sent you an invite to mod a few subs that he is spamming. Good luck!

magnora7 · 2024-02-07T22:48:35+00:00

Just sent you an invite to mod a few subs that he is spamming. Good luck!

magnora7 · 2024-02-07T22:44:23+00:00

Banning IP ranges doesn't even work because he can spoof IPs, I'm pretty sure it's a hired attacker

magnora7 · 2024-01-25T00:58:13+00:00

Same, conversations like that are why I made saidit. Thank you.

magnora7 · 2024-01-25T00:57:48+00:00

A person having a psychotic break doesn't do it continuously for 5 years... People having psychotic breaks aren't known for having long-term laser focus

magnora7 · 2024-01-24T21:19:57+00:00

Agreed. I hope in a decade or two we're on a better track, and I hope in 200 years people look at this era and see it as uncivilized as how we look at the 1800s compared to the present day. With the broad availability of so much information, I have to hope it's just a matter of time until wise behavior becomes organized in to lasting global cultural movements.

magnora7 · 2024-01-24T19:49:12+00:00

Well said. I feel as though society, in the US at least, was in a good place with this in the 90s. And now it's gone to someplace strange that is an over-shoot of the previous corrections. I think it will balance out eventually, but the internet is also giving humanity an ugly look at itself in the mirror in a completely new way, and we collectively are still figuring out how to deal with this.

magnora7 · 2024-01-24T17:55:18+00:00

Agreed, it's just part of the mass cultural breaking and it's intentional. They want people focused on nonsense so they can't contemplate any real problems. It's a convenient divide-and-conquer issue that pushes a lot of people's buttons and grabs people's attention so they don't have time and attention to spare on anything truly meaningful.

All they have to do is own the 6 major media companies to control the narrative for the overwhelming majority.

magnora7 · 2024-01-24T15:53:18+00:00

It seems the reverse psychology is an intentional strategy to keep people divided and conquered, and keep them emotionally invested in the political system, when in reality both parties are hijacked and neither represent the interests of the people.

They've given us the controller that isn't plugged in and are telling us we are playing.

I agree, I think there will be some sort of post-internet movement. I think TV is to the boomers as internet is to the current generations. Future generations will see that it's a propaganda machine from the get-go, but will also have missed the prime days when it was actually full of useful information. It's probably a cycle every new communication medium goes through as it ages, including radio. It is invented, it becomes useful and informative, then it becomes full of big money and idiots, then it is used up as a medium and then people learn to ignore it as the next medium is invented and becomes the new hot thing.

I guess at some point we will run out of new mediums being invented though, and I have to wonder what will happen then. The internet, in a way, seems like the final communication medium because it can transmit any type of information nearly instantly across the globe.

Agreed, the problem is becoming so bad due to AI and cultural decay that I think there is a new counter-cultural consensus developing of "let's not be this bad, at least" which will push people toward seeking wisdom.

Civilization seems to wax and wane like this throughout history, but the internet adds a new twist on the old cycle.

If everyone thought like this guy, there would be no more war. Maybe someday there will be a global mainstream anti-war culture. The people have to learn to reject pro-war mindsets event though the media trains us to embrace it.

Great minds think alike, ha. Completely agree with your analogy.

Could be a hobby by one deranged individual, but it also might be a group that is paid to attack many forums. Either way our response is the same, so it doesn't really matter I guess. I would just think a lone nutter would eventually get bored or move on to something else after years of failure...

I can't imagine spending literal years spamming a tiny site, having all your posts deleted repeatedly, and then thinking yourself the good guy. What a nutter. Sounds like a typical narcissist, not surprised. Turning up the cloudflare stopped him.

His explanation is like if I walked around punching people to teach them to be ready for punches. It's the kind of explanation a 4th grade playground bully would try to come up with, lol

They're banned now

They registered over 100 new accounts today and then used them one by one to post spam over the last 5 hours... I just right now deleted about 40 accounts and 200 posts and comments that were clearly all by this same person. They definitely have some automated tools. Some of the accounts are aged 6+ months. I turned the cloudflare up

Yeah I mean that's the whole point of project mockingbird
