What, are they having issues with too many new users that don't fit in with the edgelord contest that most of the comments seem to be?

fallout from the nz/au censorship controversy?

Yeah, going back over there it seems like they are scared of who might be taking a look now that they are in the news again. That and they just banned a user from the gaming sub for posting a ton of loli fanart even though it didn't break rules and was gaming related.

They are having internal strife over how that's censorship but also icky.

amazing. at the time when reddit is banning scores of subs, voat is lifting the drawbridge. saidit will grow even more.

I think they just re-opened it. They were having some server problems, probably from being overloaded by new users. But even just that few hours of them being closed probably brought many newcomers to saidit

You'd figure with their new secret investor that they could keep the lights on. I can't imagine trying to solo admin and code that place though, glad there's two of us.

Yeah, it sounds nuts tbh. I am glad there is two of us also.
