Nobody reads FAQs or TOSs.
I don't read them either, but if I want info I will read a FAQ, and if I really give a shit about the site/community I may check them out to get the lay of the land.
How do you do coloured text in the chat? PM me if you don't want your secrets out.
I asked in the chat about porn.

Iloveyounowfuckoff,
I intentionally used the "new normal" to fight the "new normal".
Not much really is 100% evil, including advertising and the art of persuasion. It's more important how tools are used - to persuade someone to kill themselves or persuade them to better themselves. I can't tell you how many animated and live-action commercials I made between 1995 and 2005, but it was a lot, and I made a lot (as much in one day then as I spend now every month on food). I'd rather be honest and obvious in my pitch than play some subliminal mindfuckery.
" Nobody who isn't getting paid by a social media website should care that much about a social media website. "
That might be true if your priorities are about getting paid for caring.
If I'm getting paid then I'd sure like to know about it. If there are checks in the mail then someone's been stealing them. I would prefer to live a little more comfortably, but that's not a priority when I have my freedom - so I won't sell out for comfort again.
I don't know if you are homeless online or if you have a few sites that you regularly visit. It's no secret I haunt this place, and I believe in uncensored truth-seeking, not just on SaidIt, more than anything - and now SaidIt has federated so, as this, my first sub from approaching 2 years ago is titled, they're decentralizing, a passion of mine almost equal to freedom to communicate.
I care because it matters.
Also, FYI, I started this post in a private message, then realized I should share it, so I tweaked it, posted it, and included it in that private message - plus you all get to like it or lump it.

I miss so many but for every shitty comment I see there's an opportunity to expound some valuable learning stuff for the other readers - and maybe a chance to learn myself.
It's wonderful and welcome to see when folks apologize, admit errors, or agree to disagree - so for that I salute you. I also like your name.
Yes, there is no shortage of shills here on Saidit too, but the best response is to deflate their shillery with counterpoints that are as airtight as possible.
I was almost certain there was something against shitposting in the FAQ, but I guess not, though I am certain it's frowned on as it's low tier on the Pyramid Of Debate. There's no shortage or porn or shitposing on the internet, SaidIt is an alternative to that.
The thought shaping here aims to be towards freedom and less tribalism.
SaidIt is now federated
?
" A federation is a group of computing or network providers agreeing upon standards of operation in a collective fashion. " ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federation_(information_technology)
/s/SaidIt/comments/4s2e/i_am_proud_to_announce_saidit_and_notabugio_have/
I may be mistaken, but perhaps us users and/or our illustrious industrious SaidIt admins can set up MANY other servers that mirror the database so that if SaidIt gets attacked again we can just go to other mirror sites not under direct attack.
This is huge!
Ahh, I though maybe you were referring to federation as in a political system
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federation
Yes, I agree decentralized redundancy is a good thing.
Is saidit decentralized ? I didn't think it was at all.
Somewhat - it's currently mirrored at:
https://notabug.io/t/saidit.all
Other decentralize ideas have been kicked around
TLDR.
Fuck Reddit. You can see the traffic picking up here. You don't need to sell it.
If you didn't read it then your comment is ignorant and you don't know why I'm selling it.
It's also for people who may already know the obvious shit I mention, but need a friendly reminder to actually apply the steps they hadn't considered or were too lazy to bother with. Or maybe they hadn't considered it quite like this. Whatever it may take, this is my little effort. I don't give a shit about Reddit, and this was actually a private message I adopted to share with everyone.
well good for you then.
carry on.
I think you're missing the main issue which is that many people really like others being censored, they like feeling smug in a bubble where everyone agrees with them, they only get pissy when censorship is done to them.
So they won't only wait for the hammer to fall, they'll be shocked when it happens and think they are the biggest martyr because they are the only one who didn't deserve it, how very unfair.
Fair enough and I won't disagree, but I will point out that my post was not really about that so much as proactively taking measures to avoid the whole problem entirely before it's even hammer time.

A rebuttal:
Don't make porn saidits, I have it from WOG that porn is no.
