It's been down for a day, and may be down for a few more. Looks like "Just build your own Internet" isn't a viable option for internet communists, everyone must learn of their peaceful ways by force.
Trying to get to Saidit redirects you to Saidit's Subreddit, in a sad state of affairs.
EDIT:It's come back up since then. Updates in the link.
I'm glad to hear that some people still use Saidit.
Are rumors that a hideous tranny started censoring any criticism of his delusion correct?
Yes. But enough about Reddit.
More seriously, I haven't kept up with the drama. The Superstraight and LGBdroptheT subs are the main things I follow there, but I do remember the founder trying to excuse a lot of his failings on the 'Pyramid of Debate' and banning folks, but at the same time it's one of the few semi-viable lifeboats away from Pedo-infested Reddit.
The admins' obsession with codifying the Pyramid of Debate was always going to be their undoing, because it was inevitable that selective rigor would be enforced on dissident ideas.
More or less. I call TAM the trans teenage admin a nutcase tranny child all day and he hasn't deleted anything of mine that I am aware of.
But he is demented and anything that can by the wildest stretch of the imagination be twisted into seeming akin to a threat or a call for violence triggers him.
As far as I am concerned, his arrival on Saidit has rung the death knell for the site.
