10 commandments may now be posted in Arkansas public schools! State government changed the law. Children may legally be exposed to such laws as: "Thou shalt not kill." This is the opposite of what the military machine wants, so what's the catch? Do you know the 10 commandments?

How do you?

soundsituation · 2025-04-21T16:24:43+00:00

Maybe it’s not unintentional. It seems like they want the place to be a postmodern salon (in the academic sense) - that requires significant exclusivity.

Yes, but context matters. If a user’s comment consists of nothing but [insert slur here], they are clearly not participating in good faith. But if they comment on the discussion and happen to use a slur, that comment is allowed.

soundsituation · 2025-04-20T17:04:16+00:00

Like if I told members, “you can’t use the n-word (racist slur), or the r-word (ableist slur), etc,” my sub can’t appear on all?

That’s correct.

As for people being aggressive to each other, moderators have some discretion. There is a sitewide rule against advocating violence, for example.

Here are the sitewide rules for moderators: https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/w6s/saidit_rules_for_moderators/ (Rule 4 is what we’ve been discussing).

Will Saidit disappear since USAID has been shut down?

Ovarit did

soundsituation · 2025-04-19T19:35:54+00:00

I love this idea and I hope people here run with it. FYI s/Gaming is a thing, s/Feminism too.

And the mods of each new sub can always ban who they want, just like how any banned member can always make any new circles they want?

Just be aware that saidit has a sitewide rule that if you want your sub to appear on s/all--essentially, if you want it to be public--then you have to allow anyone to participate as long as they are staying on topic and posting/commenting in good faith. So you are free to ban spammers as well as anything off topic, but you can't disallow specific words and opinions.

Now, if you don't care about being visible on s/all and generally open to everyone, you can still make any sub you want and run it any way you want. But of course, it will be a lot smaller and will probably just be visited by the same people on this sub. Nothing wrong with that, but just wanted to let you know since you made a few comments here about wanting spaces that are open to everyone.

It's not strictly gc but I'd add s/TumblrInAction to the list. And it is one of the most active subs on the whole site. There's also the newly created s/Ovarit.

A lot of bad things are like that.

Is it harder to get rid of than it is to acquire?

soundsituation · 2025-04-18T05:13:38+00:00

Discord is not for me. I've found that live chats like discord are ultimately more about socializing, and discussion forums like ovarit/saidit are more about, well, discussion. That probably sounds pretentious as fuck but I just prefer to be social in person for the most part. I go to internet forums to discuss topics in a way that I can't necessarily or reliably do irl.

I wonder what the purpose of the clovenhooves application process is. A lot of the questions are ideological; are they trying to screen out people who disagree with them? That's my assumption. But who knows, maybe they're curating a philosophically diverse space or maybe they are just trying to deter the kinds of people who don't want to bother with applications. Can anyone speak to this? Do they reject sincere but different-minded applicants?

Cekni seems nice but I don't think it will last.

soundsituation · 2025-04-15T21:39:54+00:00

They're tying to convince us that only bad people are able to distinguish between things.

Well said. I think James Lindsay is right about Marxism being a Hermetic belief system.

Seriously though, where are they now? You know they didn’t realize they were wrong, not en masse anyway. Are they agitating elsewhere or did they give up when the tides started to turn?

soundsituation · 2025-04-09T15:31:44+00:00

I thought they did that already.

soundsituation · 2025-04-08T23:30:47+00:00

What I'll miss:
-By far the biggest thing is just having a women's forum. I know it wasn't exclusively women and of course you never really know who's who online, but in general it was a really nice space away from everywhere else on the internet. I thought the vibe overall was thoughtful, supportive and comfortable, and I haven't seen that matched anywhere else. I love saidit but I can't imagine starting a relationship-oriented thread here.
-The pace of conversation. There were plenty of conversations going at any one time but I still felt like I could keep up and get to know people.
-The polls.

What I won't miss:
-The echo chamber effect, particularly when it came to political topics. I think it really emboldened self-righteousness and sometimes discouraged dissident thought. I hated seeing comments downvoted to like -30.
-At least a few times a week someone would make the most milquetoast post and get showered with approval for it. Titles like "Sorry, but men can never become women". Okay? It's not 2017 reddit. There's just nothing brave or insightful about such a bland statement on Ovarit in 2025 and yet these posts would get tons of upvotes. It seemed like a way to farm karma, or, more cynically, like a way for infiltrators to accrue enough points to earn invite codes.
-Some of the moderation choices, like tone policing or deleting entire conversations where users were arguing with one another.

soundsituation · 2025-04-07T16:23:27+00:00

People are lost. Instincts no longer match the correct context.

I'm not easy to anger but I can never watch these TRA debates for more than a few minutes at a time. I thought the first hypothetical was good (if he presented himself exactly as the activist did but didn't call himself a woman, would he be one?) - any other points or timestamps you liked?

soundsituation · 2025-04-05T19:25:34+00:00

You got the first one right:) I believe I've seen the second one included in descriptions of the dark triad generally; not sure about psychopathy specifically. Hope you like the video!

If you're on a computer the subscribe button is on the right sidebar, directly beneath the name of the sub. On mobile, you can either turn your phone horizontal, which will give you the righthand sidebar, or you can scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and find the subscribe button there.

That sucks. Why?

soundsituation · 2025-04-02T16:07:19+00:00

I have heard academics use “identify” to describe traits they actually do possess (e.g. a straight white lady saying “I identify as a white, heterosexual woman”), probably in an attempt to legitimize this language for the pretenders.

soundsituation · 2025-04-01T16:42:20+00:00

If you don’t like this kind of LGBT representation, that’s fine for you. But it’s important to LGBT people (whether they’re aware of it or not).

These people believe they know what’s best for everyone.

This thread in particular

Also, don't worry if you find this post a couple days late. Posts are never archived on this site - you can comment on anything, however old. Also, I think a lot of people browse the site via s/all/comments. Because of these two things, conversations can be kept alive for as long as people want to discuss something.

soundsituation · 2025-03-31T23:15:21+00:00

I wonder if trait conscientiousness is down on a population level. If so that would be pretty remarkable given personality’s significant genetic component. If it’s not, kids must be applying it now in different ways.

soundsituation · 2025-03-25T01:20:50+00:00

Okay, I added all of those. I also moved post flairs to the left of post titles, similar to Ovarit. Also, everyone should be able to edit their user flairs to whatever they want.

I've never done any AI art but I'm curious how that would turn out. I'll report back if I'm able to come up with anything decent:)

soundsituation · 2025-03-25T00:45:53+00:00

Yes. Which flairs do we want? News, Discussion, Advice/Support, Meta, anything else? I can always add more later.

soundsituation · 2025-03-25T00:40:55+00:00

I believe we can do all of the above: add custom headers and add post/user flair templates (that we can also enable user customization of).

Interesting, but I think there are a lot of people who know they can only “win” arguments by stubbornly holding to specific premises. They’re not too dumb to entertain hypotheticals, they’re just self-righteous and proud.

Ha, which ones?

soundsituation · 2025-03-15T19:21:36+00:00

I believe most African Americans are of West African descent, so that's what Americans think black people look like. But East Africans look quite different; categorically different, I'd say. Watch any Olympic or global championship long distance race to see what I mean.

soundsituation · 2025-03-10T20:47:44+00:00

If you do the same for women, the "have experimented" category alone is like 50%.

If you tweak that category name to something like "have experimented with no other people present" (aka not for male attention), I think that percentage would fall pretty drastically. I do think it would still be significantly higher for women than men, though.

It’s supposed to prevent “bullying and harassment”. I wonder if this is how they’re dealing with the danger of letting males into female locker rooms; since they’re unwilling to just keep them out, they’re monitoring safety via see through walls.

I can tell you how they would probably respond to this. The women who weren't booed are "handmaidens of the patriarchy" who don't threaten male supremacy. Their theory can't be wrong, so conflicting evidence must be bent to fit within it.
