Saidit is mentioned on the wiki article for reddit I think. But the requirement to have a wiki article is to have a "significant article mention" so basically a MSM source needs to mention saidit at some point, which hasn't really happened yet, except on medium.com. We're close, but I don't think we yet quality, but maybe if someone tries again we can get one established

That's just not gonna happen for a while until another website that is more in cahoots with the government is given a shot at taking reddit's place, I think...

MSM hardly qualifies as significant
