yeah, but with ridiculously blatant antisemitism and COVID-19 denial on the front page of SaidIt, it's an even more uphill battle than it was. Not that this sub ever truly punched out the highest quality content, no offense to everyone. It's easier to be an aggressive internet activist when you're crazy and have nothing else to do, which is why radicals rise to the top a lot, here and in Reddit. (Once again, no offense to anyone, especially our classy drunk mods.)

Ai, I noticed this as well. The anti-vax conspiritard types are here in large numbers. There is a lot of blatant anti-Semitism and racism on display as well.

Quite homophobic comments in those posts as well. Any time I see a "news" post on the main subs that feature anything LGB-related, there are usually quite a few homophobic slurs in the comments.

This is what happens when any point of view that is not singularly in lock step with the narrative gets forced out and has to take refuge amongst the detritus.

I put most of it down to internet edge lords in their I'm angry at my parents and I don't know why stage of life.
