You don't seem to be the usual "got banned from Reddit for saying gas the jews" type

Yeah, I haven't been banned from Reddit nor Ruqqus. I just didn't like admins' actions and the direction of those platforms, I felt like I should try something else. I sometimes enjoy reading conspiracy stuff or dark/edgy memes, but I guess it isn't in my nature to troll or post too offensive stuff.

You seem like the kind of guy who actually contributes

I don't usually write/post that much. I was a little bit more active on Ruqqus, creating some fanart 1 2 and was developing a userscript (something like browser extension) named RuqES similar to Reddit's RES (a bit simpler). It started with me missing an expando button and infinite scroll, but since than I added a lot of features, I didn't even use all of them :D.

posting Chinese vacuum pump ads (true story)

Your English is actually pretty good, so don't worry about that.

I am glad it's understandable. I wasn't sure if it isn't a bit long, but it looks like at least few people read it, so I call it a success. :D

Didn't know about the Magnora history. To the Ruqqus bias, it has become a bit complicated, because admins seem to push against more extreme right - e.g. they virtually quarantined many their subs with first version of categories, only after public backlash admins were forced to modify categories, undo hiding of those guilds (subs). You simply can't do such things when the slogan of your platform is "without censorship".

I ain't noticed the graphics, since they're small on my screen

Yep, it depends on scaling from OS and zoom in browser. It's too small for me on 100% (browser) zoom, so I am usually using 133%.

but somebody (u/JasonCarswell ?) should make them into SVGs, so they can work at any size.

If nobody else is interested, I could try to vectorize it. I have some limited experience with Inkscape (not a pro, but I did few simpler logos). I wanted to learn grease pencil (2D drawing tool) in Blender, but I think currently svg export is broken, so I am using Inkscape for vector graphics now.

like how Mexican Spanish has words in {curly brackets} all over the place

Maybe missing translation files, or in incorrect version, or new strings were added but not translated to all languages? I think internationalization (translations) are done on the backend (the server part), I am more of a front end guy and also don't like python that much, probably won't be able to help with this.

I was asking about the mascot because I really enjoyed making those ruqqies (the ruqqus mascot). Working on something I can share later (even if it isn't very good) gives me motivation to learn/practice in Blender (it's just a hobby).

My major problem with the site is that there's no political content. There are non-political subs, but they're mostly dead. If you want to revive them: make sure to post there. People mostly come here because they're banned from somewhere else, and want to talk politics, which really drowns out everything else.

Yeah, that's a common theme on platforms like saidit. On Ruqqus I really missed multireddits, I like when I can categorize subs as I want, e.g. hobbies and politics apart. It seems multireddits on saidit are implemented, will have to try them later :). I am planning on posting at least videos I find interesting (mostly gaming, tech, sometimes programming and math).

Have a good time!

Thanks, so far I like it here :).

Oh, yeah. Magnora and d3rr are a lot better with Saidit than the admins are on other platforms.

It would be hard to trust them after that.

don't like python that much

I personally prefer Python; it's usually my go-to. I don't do website stuff with it, though, just little command line scripts here and there.

Oh, cool, maybe you could make one for Saidit :P

Oh, yeah, I forgot that was a thing. I was gon'o try it, but forgot.

Thanks, so far I like it here :).

Great!

    Yeah, it's pretty much just maintenance. Every so often: someone will get banned for advocating violence, but nine times out of ten: it's someone trying to sell fake Indian diplomas or so'm (another true story).

      I'm not giving them the attention they want by linking to their ads.

        Well, don't link them, then.
