The question becomes though: do we risk damage by creating a forum within a community that has users and even moderators who are actively pushing alt-right, anti-science, fringe conspiracy content like how COVID-19 is a scam? Or does moving to a more private, less visible community like on spinster.xyz hurt more overall by reducing critical voices to the sidelines? I really don't know.

At any rate, it's just a general warning that SaidIt's existing userbase as a whole should not necessarily be considered friendly to our cause.

All LGB are welcome in our sub, and always have been. Aside from our sexual orientation, LGB are not a monolith, and some of them will be alt-right, anti-science, and fringe-conspiracy theorists.

If you don't like this particular site and how it's broader than just one narrative, you should probably go somewhere else. Like maybe back to Reddit, where all the "evil" people are getting banned from.
