Magnora7 started Saidit in 2017. It quickly gained success. But in the end Magnora7 lost motivation. He said in his post on Reddit that he had lost the site password to the main server about 2.5 years before the site finally errored out. There seems to be some an implied claim that D3rr had not only taken over responsibility for the site but also taken over access.
If Saidit was ultimately Magnora's property why didn't he fight for it? He could have confronted D3rr about it. He could have appealed to the community to pressure D3 to return his property back. Clearly he wasn't motivated enough to do that and said ok, it is what it is. There are other signs he had lost motivation. The question is why? What killed his motivation? What could other have done to help avoid that situation?
Product market fit. He hated most of the people that his site attracted. He hated racism. He hated lowbrow humor. He's from reddit's CST crowd. He was never interested in being a free speech warrior, but that's what the timing demanded.
The "Origins" of SaidIt was started by magnora7 and d3rr, together.
M7 could have done a lot differently. So much. But he wouldn't listen to others.
People saw that the emperor wears no clothes, but he clung to the crown.
magnora7 is a liar many times over, and his ego demanded he never own his problems and errors, admit there was much beyond his perview, or be responsible for SaidIt under his stewardship.
We cannot prove a negative.

Without proof we only have their word.
magnora7 is not worth his word.
d3rr is worth his word, despite becoming a bitter, broken, disgruntled, poisoned, curmudgeon.
They are not the only ones who tried to make it work.
I'd like to think that I was always a disgruntled curmudgeon. :D

D3 disagreed with that version of events in comments here, on Goatmatrix.
My guess, some gentlemen showed up out of no where when he was alone and in an isolated, empty parking lot one night. They had a little chat with him...He lost his motivation.
Carswell wrote a weird sex story about him. Wish I was joking. Looks like they just really wanted to kill the site by being annoying.
magnora7 was sexually repressed - an easy joke that quickly grew tiresome.
