i hope you're acting in good faith. sometimes the best way to promote something is yelling 'ban x' when actually 3 people on the internet heard about x. since a major platform wants to ban x, x instantly becomes that much more important and thus that much more popular and indeed, powerful. this is actually one way to grow saidit.

I hope saidit grows, but I also worry that when it’s popular it will be corrupted in the same way Reddit has been.

i think one has to look closer into why reddit became what it is today. i don't think getting big is the entire reason behind its corruption.

edit: there are other possible pahts saidit could take. gab is quite big and is, as intended, a conservative circlejerk, even more so than reddit is a progressive circlejerk, if i'm not mistaken. 9gag has turned into one giant recycle bin.

The more Saidit grows, the bigger a thorn it will become in the commie-socialist foot, and the more effort will be exerted to corrode it from within, and/or attack its hosting.
