You got banned for this?? Good lord. I reported several accounts of transwomen making graphic rape threats to women and the most that ever happened is a comment being deleted. But, to the left, it’s only violence if you’re not on their side. It’s maddening.

I agree, it's crazy that the crazies on the left will treat you like garbage for a disagreement, and I'm also a liberal, and I hate it.

I had to walk away from the left and am politically homeless. I can’t get down with the detachment from reality, censorship, or violence. 🤷🏻‍♀️

You aren't politically homeless though it may seem like the Old-Left is voiceless because our legit issues don't get voiced on the insane SJW Corporate BLM Dem "Left" media.

There are MANY who still have the same progressive values - but we're as shunned and misunderstood as the alt-right.

(I'm left of center but more anarchist than either and I don't buy into the Left-Right BS.)

I don't blame you, I'm already feeling isolated in general. And I'm currently in a political bunker because why not.

A lot of us were being quiet because we thought they were "our people", but as they went ever more authoritarian and more and more moderate lefties speak up against them, their tide is starting to ebb. We'll see just how far come November.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I am pretty curious on what will happen in November, probably a complete trainwreck tbh.

Banned for telling the truth. How pathetic has the world become?

Yes indeed. That sub is one of the reasons I deleted my reddit account a while ago.

Welcome to Saidit. I think you will come to see that outrageous ban as a mixed blessing. Reddit really does suck now so I hope you'll find this growing community to your liking. There are so many new subs, I can't keep up.

[–][deleted] 9 insightful - 3 fun9 insightful - 2 fun10 insightful - 3 fun -  (10 children)

I do. I have come to really like saidit in the short time I've been here. It's got the benefits of a small sub, where I actually recognize the contributors instead of them being rando users and the people are surprisingly intelligent and open to dissenting opinions. You won't say the wrong thing here and get downvoted into oblivion, or banned, like reddit.

Although reddit can't actually ban anyone permanently. As a former reddit mod we had some real issues with problem users because people can just whip out a new name. If they actually IP ban you, you can use a VPN. They can't stop you from being on there and generally they don't care to even try besides making a token effort.

[–]Dragonerne 12 insightful - 5 fun12 insightful - 4 fun13 insightful - 5 fun -  (2 children)

Saidit is better than reddit but the admins here also censor content. s/debatealtright has been taken off the front page because the admins didn't like the content.

the way they make you not want to make a new name is they make you wait ten mins to post. And in the most important sub, conspiracy, you wait 2 months.

[–][deleted] 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (3 children)

For some reason my new acct on reddit doesn't have a time limit between comments, I don't know why, but I do run into a lot of subs not letting me post because it's too new/ not enough karma. I haven't been on a whole lot, I find myself enjoying saidit quite a bit. There's suprisingly a lot of like minded people here.

2 months for conspiracy! Holy shit balls, that's crazy.

[–][deleted] 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

true yeah it's not like that for all subs. Just major ones. I guess I don't want to make a new reddit acct if I can't talk right away on major ones. You need karma which leads to feeling pressured to make some pro soyboy comments that get karma.

[–]roguecanine 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

my new acct on reddit doesn't have a time limit between comments

it might be a sign of you being shadow-banned. Log out, use incognito mode and check if your posts/comments are visible.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

That was my first thought too but I can see my comments in icognito, have replies from users, and get karma. It's just weird. Maybe they changed it recently.

[–]hennaojichan 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

I agree with all the good things you're saying about saidit but it seems that those very characteristics that we like about being here are attracting spam bots and entities that would like to disrupt the situation. For example, today the amount of garbage posts is off the scale. Obviously some people—maybe the same interest groups that screwed up reddit—don't want us to have nice things. I'm confident Magnora7, d3rr, and other hard-working users will find a way to deal with the situation but come what may, I'm staying here. Again welcome and enjoy.

Reddit admins keep making reddit into an empty shell of what it was once.

[–][deleted] 6 insightful - 4 fun6 insightful - 3 fun7 insightful - 4 fun -  (2 children)

It's not the admins, it's the Chinese Communist Party. They just work at a company that was bought by China (Tencent paid Reddit $150M a few years back and ever since the censorship has gotten worse and worse). But I get what you mean.

Our only option is to seize all Chinese assets in the United States — including their shares in Reddit. That won't completely solve the problem, but we should cut off the Communist tentacles before they choke us to death.

I'm not some Capitalist puritan, I'm actually a Syncretist. It's not like I'm above seizing private property or collectivizing certain things — the problem is with the system of complete government dominance and cultural degeneracy that is Socialism, and thus, Communism.

Btw when you're quoting someone and you want to paraphrase you should use [square brackets] so people know you changed some words, but that's just a nitpick.

Remember what happened to Digg? It's gonna happen to reddit. LOL. They don't even know. They think they're safe.

The left's old school self righteousness doesn't really parse out too well in a generation that has wholeheartedly embraced social media and the delusional narcissism it has constantly rewarded.

All they have are buzzwords they can't define, piles and piles of lies and bullshit even they don't believe and that fleeting ember of self righteous emotional nonsense.

EDIT: Oh and rampant selfish hatred and racism directed at whites.

What of Trump's executive order regarding section 230 protections and censorship, isn't this something they're not supposed to do anymore?

Top fucking kek.

This is how pathetic the left has become this year.

Accusing Ky­­­le Ritt­enhouse of being a "woman abuser" because he was filmed defending his sister in a fight at school. Meanwhile of the three people who got shot by Kyle, one was a convicted child rapist, another had a record for domestic abuse, kidnapping, and strangulation, and the third guy had a record for burglary. Kyle had the most squeaky clean record of all four involved in the incident, the only thing on the dude's record was a traffic ticket.

And all of this happened because of riots that started over a guy who got shot by police for running from them with a knife in his hand and a felony warrant for raping his girlfriend.

But yeah, the guy who got into a fight to defend his sister is the real woman abusing monster in all of this!

You guys have dropped the ball hard this year. I used to be a hardcore liberal; never once voted for a Republican. I voted for Bernie in the primaries. But all of your lies and fuckery this year has made the Republicans look like the good guys. We end 2020 with it being the year that the left turned evil. You guys nominate a literal pedophile to be your presidential candidate and then you burn down our cities and try and blame it on the Republicans, all the while censoring the truth in the mainstream media and on dominant social media websites.

The right wing used to be the ones who tried to censor things and distort the truth; now I have to go running into the arms of right wingers to get the truth these days. Even the ACLU has abandoned "free speech" because it might hurt "muh minorities."

Don't be surprised when Trump wins Wisconsin and other states you weren't expecting this year. You brought it on yourselves. You went from being the side of good to being the side of evil. I and many other liberals are pissed the fuck off at the disgusting behavior that our "team" has engaged in this year. I won't be the only disillusioned liberal filling out a ballot this year.

Welcome to the dark side fellow traveller. I am also a liberal refugee from wokeness.

I suspect you got banned for saying you've 'walked away', not for serving up facts. They find that way more triggering.

I've managed to have some decent interactions with the woke. A lot of them genuinely don't know they've been bullshitted over things like deaths by cops, and get quite shocked when it turns out black citizens are less likely to get shot per arrest.

Yes, and now the ACLU will defend the "rights" of a man in a dress who thinks he's a woman even when those "rights" would harm actual women.

He killed two people and ran home to mommy. Life sentence, no parole.

[–]Questionable 10 insightful - 3 fun10 insightful - 2 fun11 insightful - 3 fun -  (6 children)

"He killed two people and ran home to mommy. "

No, he promptly walked himself over to the nearest police and took responsibility for his actions. Not that you would know this, since you seem to be making up stories in your own head cannon.

I watched the attack on the night it happened. For your information Kyle was not the attacker. As it played out, I mistook Kyle for a member of ANIFA, and thought his attackers were right wing extremist. And in spite of my bias, I still saw it as a justified shooting, with good trigger discipline. He shot only his intended targets and used minimum shots. Not bad for a man of his age. In fact, he showed incredible restraint.

Have you even bothered to watch the footage? Or do you just enjoy dropping deuces in forums? Now if you don't mind. Go flush yourself.

He ran home to mommy, where he was arrested. He crossed state lines with a weapon, and as a juvenile. Don't know why everyone makes him out a hero instead of the sniveling little pussy he is. Hope he likes night visits from his cell mate.

[–]AnarchySpeach 7 insightful - 3 fun7 insightful - 2 fun8 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

Don't know why everyone makes him out a hero

Because under any other circumstances his case wouldn't have been politicized and accused of murder. He was assaulted, threatened by a man with a handgun, and as he attempted to retreat to police he was attacked.

People think of him as a hero because he is doing the job police would normally do: stopping people from burning down buildings.

How can you see him as anything other than the victim here?
