Wouldn't it be cool if we asked questions about things other than Reddit/Said It or Politics?

Sounds like a good idea to me. I think what we're seeing right now is a lot of refugees from reddit who are pissed off at their new policies, which ties in to politics/differences from saidit etc. I think (hope) things will settle down a bit in a couple of weeks when the refugees calm down and just resume what they were doing on reddit before they were pushed out.

Personally, I like music and music production. What do you like/want to talk about?

I read a lot. I do some writing.. I like history, but I don't really want to politicize it. s/books had several things about the Jewish conspiracy. Kinda a hard pass for me.

I'm going to start scanning AskReddit and either rewording the questions or using them to inspire my own.

The right wingers (from the centre to afar) were generally not welcome in subreddits, so they have been dwelling in these so called free speech alternatives quietly longer than most of us (most of whom migrated post Reddit purge), so some of the content might be a bit intense for the regular crowd. I have observed a few as well. Good on them, as long as they are not inciting or mobilising for violence.

You can contribute your own content to these subs and balance them a little perhaps. After all, we share and build the community.

Also, I greatly appreciate the lack of downvotes in Saidit

Yeah, I'll try to be the change I want to see in the SaidIt. Just trying to light the fire for others as well. Every pleasant discussion, word game, or cat meme actually strengthens the place by making it more of a home.

Isn't it a breath of fresh air? No one is getting instantly buried and shamed, even when everyone else doesn't agree with them. It's so great.

Wanna post on s/books together? Although because most of the posts there are blegh it's not clear what the "culture" of any posts made there should ideally be. I suppose we could make it up as we go...?

Sure. Although I might be on a bit of a lull, because I've been ironically enough reading a bunch of books about fascism and reactionaries lately. I don't really want to give any fuel.

But I'll check it and read what you write at least.

I welcome the fresh content you bring, for now I think as the above commenter said it's an influx of people riding the ban wave from Reddit and that's what a lot of the posts are going to be about.

It's going to take some time to get to any form of new normal. And keep in mind the people from reddit (myself included) were banned for political opinions or alleged hate speech.

Seems like being angry at reddit on reddit is all I've been doing for the last 3 years.

Haha same! Reddit pisses me off yet I still use it anyway.

Yo, I’m new here! I’ve noticed there’s a weird push by some posters trying to move things more towards Voat but I’m hoping that that does settle down too. One thing I think would be nice is to see more subs population for things like movies and conics (personally) and the more our hobby subs develop, the more chance there’ll be to see things become more about peace and love

I think both s/movies and s/comics exist already, so head over and be the change you wanna see!

I like reading (Fantasy mainly), IT stuff, web design, music (Metal), Vinyls etc. I would love a Fantasy sub, if there isn't one already. Though I've not actually checked.

Easiest way to check is just doing s/fantasy and seeing if it leads anywhere... I think I might have seen an s/sciencefiction while browsing for promising options...
