It was great. My favourite part was that it wasn't some right or left wing circlejerk, it had one of the most varied and balanced array of political beliefs I've ever seen in a gay sub (or any sub tbh). There were even some trans people there lol.

It's such a shame it's gone because as fun as this group can be, it'll never come close to the original sub. Nobody wants to use a whole different website just for one sub (if they aren't interested in other saidit stuff that is).

Mildly disagree about people not wanting to join a completely different website because that's what I did. Actually didn't even have a Reddit at the time the OG sub got deleted because I hated Reddit's rules and other subs.

Same here! I also have never posted on reddit, but made a saidit account to follow up here and wound up posting.

I know a lot did but I think a huge number of subscribers on the old sub were just reddit users who decided to check in casually, but don't care enough to follow us to SaidIt. We'll never get back that audience. I can't see this sub ever having more than a few thousand subs. Nowhere near 24k on the old one.
