Are any of those sites worth a shit?

[–]StalwartJames[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (11 children)

Yes, I checked and found some interesting stuff.

Which ones are good?

I haven't checked them all out yet. Gab is pretty good. Steemit is interesting. I liked how Hubski looked. Diaspora was intrigueing. I've made an account with Snapzu and they seem pretty cool.

Fortunately if you don't like any of them the list isn't comprehensive; there are others to check out.

I just deleted Gab because I had an opportunity where I was thinking I should maybe quiet down on politics a bit, just in case. I strongly regret it and will get back on there pretty soon. It had it’s trolls but if you know why you’re there and interact with the people you know are going to be similar to you, it’s an awesome social outlet for what many of us are unlikely to get IRL daily life.

I just want a site that has the most comparable amount of users and new content as reddit. This site for instance is fine but seems like its nothing but tumbleweeds at time mixed in with some incels and openly racist users.

Meanwhile on reddit, I am on a 3 day ban for inciting violence by making the comment "kill it with fire" on a picture of a person that had mutilated their face with plastic surgery.

    Funny thing about my reddit ban is that they didn't even remove my comment. It is currently still up almost 3 days later. If they were so concerned about my comment calling for violence (which is patently ridiculous.) they have done nothing mitigate the "threat" itself and instead did meaningless 3 day suspension that only I was notified about. The "threat" itself is still up and currently gaining upvotes. If it were an actual threat reddit as company would be even MORE liable than if they had never addressed it at all. The whole thing is absurd.

    I agree about about the whole transjenga thing. It is absurd beyond comprehension and is only going to get worse.

    There are a group of paid posters who post disruptive and disgusting things on this site all the time, and the admin won't do anything about it.

    Just so everyone knows, the above is a paid poster trying to radicalise users of this site. Click the "block user" button above and disengage.

    /u/Chipit is a long-time poster who consistently and regularly posts dissident political content, quite unlike what paid posters are employed to do. He's a great example of what this site needs more of. The group of paid posters that plague this site consider him a threat, which is all you need to know.

    Yes. Attempting to radicalise users of this site.

    Which is exactly what paid posters are employed to do.
