Nine days after r/GC was banned without warning and this space was set up on the fly, we've reached 2000 users. Thank you to everyone who refused to give up! 💐

I think it is further proof that you were having a tangible impact on women and on the debate there, and more impressively it is proof that people are following the GC community and it will continue growing.

If saidit is only a temporary home, or an outpost for GC on the periphery of the eventual capital now being built: I think the growth shows where ever you build it, they will come. (yes, I'm a dude who made a baseball movie reference in a woman's sub. Yes, that's why no one takes me anywhere)

Congratulations, and thank you

Oh wow, I didn't even check when this community was made, I thought it was actually made some time ago. It's amazing there are already 2000 people. I hope more people keep finding this sub who used to be on the reddit sub. It's nice, cause the format makes it feel the same.

Does anyone know how long it took the original GenderCritical to reach certain milestones of subscribers?

GC's growth has been exponential since it was really only the most prescient of radfems who detected the issues implicit in the TRA movement, and TRA campaigning has not always been as balls-out as it is now.

Graph looks like this - https://twitter.com/womenopausal1/status/1278599482532397056/photo/1 Notice the JKR uptick at the end, just before our demise. But we will return like....uh....that phoenix from the Harry Potter novels.

All I know for sure is that I joined 4 years ago this September and we were less than 4000.

Not really a fair comparison, but it took r/GenderCritical over two years to reach 2000 subscribers. (Created September 2013, hit 2000 in December 2015).

wow that's amazing! and it only took this place a few days? (not sure exactly when this sub was created)

I joined the original sub when it was just 3k subscribers! Memories...

i'm surprised this place is not growing faster -- perhaps not enough people know about it yet?

If people are going to deactivate their reddit account, could you all do me a favor and mention the wonderful world of free speech at saidit.net before you do? The more people who know there is an alternative, the more will come to saidit.net. win win!
