Agreed on all points, though my approach has not been to block anyone. I just try to remember the users I don't wish to respond to. Some of the worst users try to draw me into a debate that's nothing more than them trolling. /u/AngelaMagic , I'd say the same as ActuallyNot, though with the addition that you can write anything you want, as long as it's not promoting murder or linking to pornography (though mods rarely bother to notice these days). Secondly, there are occasional opportunities to see here what users think of their favorite right-wing topics, or propaganda, or misinformation. You'd have to be prepared to get responses that are really dumb and mean, which are often the norm, but Saidit is also a window onto the latest right-wing propaganda that one can discuss openly. (EG. /r/worldnews would ban anti-Israel comments, though /r/worldnewsvideo allows an honest approach to the genocide of Palestinians, and Saidit is somewhat mixed on this topic.) Feel free to return an insult if you wish. There is also a 'chat' channel on the right side where there are occasional discussions in the #subscribed channel. It's sometimes active in the evenings. I'm here to learn about the latest in right-wing brainwashing, and sometimes to argue about politics, though I am more of a centrist. I was banned for recommending that Tucker Carlson should be slowly tortured to death, and returned with a different username (ban evasion is also a bannable offense, but admins aren't very concerned). TL:DR I recommend Saidit as a place to occasionally learn what the right-wingers are up to, though you may want to avoid some of the hostility and stupidity that comes with the far right agenda of spreading lies. [edit: SMCAB is perhaps the worst user on Saidit; an example of why Redditors have called Saidit a place of 'schizo dumbasses'. SMCAB is as hostile as he is incredibly stupid; to be avoided.]
