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.

I'm intrigued about this Poal... gonna have to check it out.

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).

  • * edit * * Installed the Saidit App from Play store on my phone, will give it a shakedown today.

No problem. I forgot that you commented it.
