Funny, I was going to post a link to this place in the KIA2 subreddit because of the recent changes. Still might, but I guess you should be the one because you're a mod there and people might be more willing to read it.

We still don't know if the users want to all come here yet.
This is what I mean by "prepping the beach head".
I have a header now....
But still, the users might want to use Tribes, or Minds, or Gab, or Poal, or something else. If I have a basic bitch implementation of our sub at these places, the users will be able to more adequately decide if it has the right kind of feel, and if the size and outside community is to our liking.
I still want to build a little something on Poal because it's user highlight system may be useful, although this place is a pretty good replacement for reddit.

It's got an interesting point system that's a lot more public facing.
The problem is that it's even smaller than Saidit, and it's ... ahem... significantly more to the right. Not as far right as Voat... but still.

Hmmm, yeah... looking it over, it seems like they're a bit beyond the novelty phase of having a truly free-speech platform, but that very well could be due to their size. Still, after seeing what happened to Voat, I'm hesitant to believe that the same couldn't happen to another platform in its infancy.

It could happen to all of them.
To be honest, if we move here or there, we'd push the userbase to the left. Also we'd be like, more than 50% of the subscriber base. Weirdly enough, a collective action would probably be a huge boost to them.
My only concern is mobile. I don't know how it works on either site.

The mobile webpage here is pretty simplistic, but seems to function on Chrome and Firefox (at least on my old-ass Android phone).

No problem. I forgot that you commented it.

I think a big factor is that there are many Reddit users that still don't know about Saidit as an alternative. I mean.. I just found out about Saidit yesterday. It isn't even listed on Google as a Reddit alternative (the last I checked). So.. some how getting the word out would help tremendously by pulling in some traffic.

Part of it is definitely that it is an alternative people don't know about. Which is why I want to have a major, consolidated, move. Not a slow trickle over by people who are frustrated.

How do you suppose you'ld go about doing that?
Building connections with people in positions of power with other subs.
Maybe offering them lifeboats.
use the following search parameters to narrow your results:
e.g. sub:pics site:imgur.com dog
sub:pics site:imgur.com dog
advanced search: by author, sub...
