I'm feeling your same pain and thinking your same thoughts. Not sure I'm going to get anywhere close to ten years on this forum considering there are several people coming over from reddit who are already playing the racist card if your opinion is different than theirs, and you don't preach the mainstream bullshit. I spoke with a mod here who made it pretty clear that you're welcome as long as your line of discussion doesn't upset the majority. The majority here will be communists and socialists in no time as it's already filling up with them fast. I can't preach that screed so it won't be long before I'm banned, but if you're one of them, welcome to saidit! You'll be welcome here for many years to come.

That's the thing I like about voat, you can write whatever you want and say whatever you want without feeling that you are going to be censored, I cannot say the same about saidit unfortunately. I lurk here just to see what other people are thinking since voat it's still pretty biased towards anything the left has to say (considering that I leaned more to that side in other years, thinking perhaps that it was a right path towards freedom, silly from me to think like that)

I know what you mean, but if you ask me it's what the administration does to steer the site as a whole that matters more. If one mod wants to run their sub like a tyrant, then you can make your own. How the leadership reacts to a sub that goes against the grain of the populace will show the direction of the site as far as free speech and whatnot. Ten years might be optimistic, but if we can get a few years where contrary opinions and subs can at least be allowed without risk of banning; or the corporate overlords come and take over, then I can be happy during that time then migrate again if need be.
