It is due to this that I have made the decision to join saidit! I imagine I'm not the only one Reddit is driving away

[–]Sup3r 23 insightful - 2 fun23 insightful - 1 fun24 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Same here

[–]PaigeAP 18 insightful - 2 fun18 insightful - 1 fun19 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

I did too.

Little by little, one by one everybody will leave Reddit just how everybody left Digg.

I assume most people will leave once Reddit does an IPO(Initial Public Offering).

[–]Raivyn 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

People left Digg because reddit was a direct competitor and it made sense. I'm not aware of a site that is large enough to compete with reddit right now. We'll definitely get people trickle in but I doubt it'd be a mass exodus like Digg was.

[–]LancerCaptain_Rooney 6 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

I just “trickled in”. This site is dope.

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

Population wise, the present saidit to reddit ratio is about the same as I remember the reddit to digg ratio being before the mass exodus started. I don't know if there are any public numbers to look at to verify that though.

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

I think this is the beginning of the 2010 exodus, comparatively speaking.

[–]whomwhohasquestions 13 insightful - 2 fun13 insightful - 1 fun14 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Me too, I''m here from reddit.

[–]guineadigs 6 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Me too! I also joined the official backup forum over at Raddle.

[–]cyberdick 6 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

I too am here from there! :)

[–]weaboo 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Same. I'm trying to sign up everywhere I can think of. Don't want another snahp it-megalinks situation

[–]AHDementor 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Hello!

[–]Nirromyug 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I'm from Reddit as well!!✌️

[–]kasix 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Same reasons for me as well! Can't stand reddit bending knee to big corporations.

[–]cowboybebop 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

MeToo -- Am I doing this right?

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

hash tag #me too!

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

Yep, me too!

[–]PaigeAP 30 insightful - 2 fun30 insightful - 1 fun31 insightful - 2 fun -  (12 children)

Not surprised after they banned WPD it's only a matter of time until they ban other controversial subreddits.

This is going to be the next great Reddit purge, probably still not going to ban r/The Donald.

I'm glad SaidIt exists.

[–]Thraex 15 insightful - 2 fun15 insightful - 1 fun16 insightful - 2 fun -  (6 children)

Reddits gonna end up only allowing the wholesome subs. Funny watching them cut their legs off

[–]Troll 8 insightful - 6 fun8 insightful - 5 fun9 insightful - 6 fun -  (2 children)

I hope all their employees Become homeless

[–]Johnytheanarchist 7 insightful - 5 fun7 insightful - 4 fun8 insightful - 5 fun -  (1 child)

That’s a bit much now, lets just destroy the thing they put countless amount of work into and be happy with that

[–]Troll 3 insightful - 5 fun3 insightful - 4 fun4 insightful - 5 fun -  (0 children)

I thought I was being easy on them.

[–]Hezkezl 7 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Reddit's gonna be a great place when every single sub eventually turns into /r/funny... (subs that have nothing to do with their name and get mocked constantly for failing so hard)

[–]FictionalSalad 6 insightful - 4 fun6 insightful - 3 fun7 insightful - 4 fun -  (0 children)

The internet really needs a central advice animal/kitten meme repository, and I think that's it great that Reddit is heading that way.

[–]BackwardsCompatible 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Honestly it'll just be all the same stuff on all the subs. I don't mean like reposts, there just won't be actual diversity. It'll be all the same "wholesome" and "safe space" type content resulting in a single echo chamber across the entire site.

[–]GENUINE 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

I never checked the Donald Trump subreddit enough to gauge its vibe, what were the biggest issues with it that would merit a ban?

[–]PaigeAP 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

I've neve went there but from what I've heard it was a hate filled sub and 2 days ago they were gloryfing the terrorist the killed people in the New Zealand Mosque.

[–]GENUINE 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

I did hear a little about that, it surprises me that the admins didn't do anything about it.

I really hope this place doesn't end up the same way.

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

judging from your comment... saidit is doomed.

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

probably not a purge quite on the scale of the DIGG one... there are a lot of people on reddit these days who aren't comfortable with free speech.

[–]OneEcchiBoi 29 insightful - 1 fun29 insightful - 0 fun30 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Honestly their censorship is why I joined here. I'm tired of it.

[–]gristle 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Yes! Are there other places that you've joined as an alternative?

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

Tildes.net is pretty good, but it's invite only for now. It was made by ex reddit admin Deimorz.

[–]Framen 22 insightful - 2 fun22 insightful - 1 fun23 insightful - 2 fun -  (6 children)

Just made an account here after hearing the news, hi guys

There are dozens of us!

[–]Skuly 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Give it a few weeks for the word to get out and there be a lot more.

[–]ChannerT 16 insightful - 1 fun16 insightful - 0 fun17 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Things on reddit are going downhill very rapidly. Hopefully we can establish a nice piracy home elsewhere.

[–]happysmash27 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

/s/piracy is good.

[–]wizzwizz4 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

I don't know if the Reddit TOS allows that.

[–]Greedeater 11 insightful - 6 fun11 insightful - 5 fun12 insightful - 6 fun -  (1 child)

What are they gunna do, delete our accounts? Heh.

[–]wizzwizz4 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Issue a Takedown order. Then the canary will have to remove that.

And potentially sue Saidit out of existence. That too.

[–]JasonCarswell 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I've been procrastinating starting a DIYSaidItBots subsaidit here to discuss and teach noobs how to DIY their own bots. In my case I'm interested in sharing all my fave YouTube channels automatically. Most of the ones I follow are not frequent and put out higher quality posts. Obviously there's potential for abuse, and that could be ignored or dealt with.

By dealt with I mean maybe a rule would be made or something, like all bots must have their own sub (which has a limit of one new sub per week).

    That backup forum wasn't made by the WPD mod team but it's good to see the users starting up their own version of WPD in some way.

    [–]happysmash27 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    Raddle has been pretty cruel to me in the past, so I am urging a move to SaidIt instead.

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

    First, some background.

    Redditors aren't allowed to submit material that infringes someone else's copyrights. We (the Reddit admins) are required by law to process notices from people who say that material on Reddit violates their copyrights. The process is described in the DMCA section of the Reddit User Agreement. The law also requires us to issue bans in cases of repeat infringement. Sometimes a repeat infringement problem is limited to just one user and we ban just that person. Other times the problem pervades a whole community and we ban the community.

    I find this funny. This sounds like they are going the YouTube route, and yet they keep TD despite it being completely counter to the image they are trying to curate. They can't even censorship right! Very least, if you're going to go the "Big Brother" route, be consistent (I mean, don't go down that route at all, but if you're going down it, don't be stupidly inconsistent. Don't use 1984 as a guide book, people)

    Fucks sake, it's a clown circus except the clowns are crashing their cars into each other and infighting because they have no idea what narrative they are even trying to push anymore

    EDIT: Actually wait, them being inconsistent chuckleheads IS in line with YouTube's methods. Nevermind

    ... They did it! They have become worse than Facebook!

    [–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    never knew reddit had a piracy sub

    piracy websites always get taken down if in USA, they have to hide em in sweden or some shit

    [–]happysmash27 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    I'm urging them to move to SaidIt instead of Raddle. Raddle can be very harsh for those that accidentally go against the narrative…

    Shame we had to set sail...

    goodbye

    [–]NeZu 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    Really hoping to see this site take off if Reddit keeps going down the path they seem to be going.

    [–]rootcause27 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    I just joined here too, because I think it's only a matter of time before the piracy sub is banned. I only discovered Reddit not long before they started going down the Facebook path. I hated the new interface and am praying they don't force everyone on to it, if that happens, I'm out. I will have to find some other Australian political forums to chat in. So what is raddle? I had never heard of it until today.

    [–]cyberanakinvader 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

    I can't really imagine how far these will go should if the European Parliament approves Article 13.

    ''you are getting banned, you are getting banned, EVERYONE'S GETTING BANNED''

    [–]scarecrow 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

    Insightful and fun. I like these choices.

    [–]Aqua 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    I'm going to miss the gaming subreddits I frequented but I'm honestly getting sick of Reddit's bullshit these past few years. Anything remotely offensive, insensitive, or opposing opinions are immediately removed. It's crazy! Glad to see our same community flourishing here.

    REDDIT FOLKS UPVOTE THIS TO PROMOTE SAIDIT: https://old.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/b28d9q/rpiracy_has_received_a_notice_of_multiple/eir4w5p/

    /u/magnora7 Add a link to it if you can and won't be censored.

    What the actual fuck..

    Whelp, links from 2 years ago are still violating the dmca.... https://old.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/b28d9q/rpiracy_has_received_a_notice_of_multiple/eitku9s This is just bullshit

    One of the top moderators stickied a post telling people to move to some crazy-ass leftist site

    [–]AbdullahTrees 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

    You talking about voat? I went there, that site is a testimony to why anonymity is a dangerous tool that humans are unfit to wield. It's the second most cancerous site on the Internet, only second to 4chan and derivatives.

    [–]JoJo 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    No, Voat isn't leftist, and it isn't any more anonymous than reddit. 4chan is anonymous and it's one of the best sites on the internet.

    DOWN THE MEMORY HOLE IT GOES:

    Another issue with this is that as moderators, we do not have the ability to see when a user or Admin deletes content. While "admins*" show up as a moderator in our moderation logs, there are 0 actions listed. This means that Admins can remove content at their own discretion and leave behind no notice or log for moderators. We cannot take any precautionary or preventative measures if we do not know what was removed.
