I guess what Im trying to say is: If you see a situation which seems unfair, then complain. If you see a situation which IS unfair: Fight.

Well, I was trying to do something more constructive with this post than just complaining: I specifically meant to ask people to promote SaidIt in a way that gives more accurate expectations.

I do think there's unfairness here, but making SaidIt into what I think it says it is, or the kind of community I'd like... well, that seems a bit much for a random user. And I don't think I'm going to get the mods admins to care if they already don't -- maybe they will, that would be great, but I'm reminded of a video I saw a while ago.

(CW following) The youtuber in this video talked about experiencing abuse at the hands of a family member, and telling another family member about the abuse, only to have that person defend the person who'd done the abuse. The youtuber talked about how they came to believe that people only do that kind of abuse if it seemed safe for them in the first place. People know about wrong things, and about getting away with wrong things. They wouldn't have done it if they thought they wouldn't get away with it, or if they really thought it was wrong, in the first place.

After a certain point the SaidIt admins either address it or they don't; I think there are probably better ways to get the kind of community I want than continuing to interact if I don't like their decision. Hopefully I've made my point and if this is indeed an issue for others, my post will remain here as a help to anyone dealing with a similar issue.
