The people who are actually here are outcasts of other social media

I feel like I was a victim of my own popularity on reddit. Once you hit a certain level you either only say the blandest most neutral inoffensive things ever, or just a small % of people complaining when it's hundreds of thousands of readers means a lot of complaints.

I do still have a reddit account, it's not like I have to be on Saidit. I just find I like it better here.

It's like a long weekend in Savanna.

That's super coincidental, there's a stripper with me named Savanna.

Huh, that's weird. I was just viewing some pics of a furry pussy on savanna.

What does reputation matter on Reddit? Since it's content-centric, it only affects your karma, which is only there for status and doesn't plummet quickly anyway. You may get banned from a couple of subreddits, but you can always make a new account.

I had half a million karma in a year, not power user status but people recognized me.

You may get banned from a couple of subreddits, but you can always make a new account.

Not when people recognize how you write.
