Reddit is on its deathbed. The censorship is going to kill it. I feel like there is going to be an exodus from Reddit to here like with the Digg event years ago.

The censorship is on another level but most people don’t see it. The bots and the unwavering control of the narrative are what are literally strangling the site right now. It’s just not fun.

People go online for information. You can see how reddit in its newest layout is trying to look more like a news site. People go to forum sites to express themselves and find community. Every time someone gets told to sit down and shut up, they move a little further away.

Reddit's unfair treatment of the Donald.

Death of cringeanarchy. That shit was funny as hell. It’s a shame to me that quality satire has taken on the term “shitposting” and mostly because of uptight moron do-gooders at that.

Basically the only reason I go to reddit any longer is for how funny as hell the satire is on Wall Street bets. Nothing really compares for me.

Nice to see a CringeAnarchy refugee over here.

I heard /u/magnora7 on a podcast and was attracted by his sexy sexy voice

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

What was the podcast?

[–]Jonnye 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Maybe it was the higher side chats?

[–]SierraKiloBravo 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I actually forget which one it was now, but it was either The Higher Side Chats or Tin Foil Hat. He mentioned SaidIt on there, although back then it also went by AntiExtremes

Bad experiences on reddit like constantly getting downvoted.

The censorship, bots and ads on reddit are getting too much for me. If the conspiracy subreddit ever gets banned I will be gone for good.

I had a sub that got banned on reddit so I resurrected it on here. But there's very little activity on saidit and I can't seem to get people to want to join saidit and chat.

The conversation is more real here but lack of content definitely keeps me from visiting more frequently. When I had a useless office job I had the time to spend days creating free internet content for my own enjoyment but sadly no longer.

lmao.

cringe anarchy being quarantined

Wpd! The community is rebuilding here, so I moved accordingly

[–]SierraKiloBravo 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

whispers There's a WPD here?

[–]NoOil 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Enjoy

[–]NoOil 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Yep, WPD got me here too

[–]Techmech 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yep, same here

[–]SpeakEasy 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Same thing here. Deathaddict's a hellhole to try and navigate.

[–]balthanos 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Magnora told me they were working on bringing the site up.. I forgot about it until a week ago. Today I saw they submitted a link that hit our frontpage. Figured it was time to at least pay attention over here.

After i couldn't bear how restrictive Voat is, i decided to look into Poal and this site, both i knew about before i signed up for them. after making a Poal account i decided to make a Saidit account as well.

[–]Scoobiedoo 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

What do you find so restrictive about Voat? Is it the user's attitudes? There isn't much restrictive about the site itself since it is censorship free.

[–]HumanBN 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Reddit sucks and Boat blows, poal and that other site is too small and there's no alternative on the federation.

Someone linked to it. It may have been F-droid. I have accounts everywhere for the veteran status.

[–]Snow 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

I almost got banned on every forum I used, it's my internet wandering, until Saidit. Therefore, I want to check about the mental structure of /u/magnora7.

[–]SpeakEasy 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

Definitely decided to when I saw that WPD had been banned, and a little time later a new version was raised on this site. Although this site's brought me a lot more than just morbid curiosity.

[–]funk 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I went here because i was interested in a open source alternative to Reddit and also to see what new content this site provides.

[–]m68k 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I've wanted to register on Reddit, but one big problem existed that prevented me from bothering.

[–]staereci 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Initially it was WPD but I think this forum site is a bit different than the others. I dislike censorship and PC culture so this is a solid place to be.

There was a post on Minds recommending this place
