Nice appeal for propaganda for grooming more protestors!

If saidit was more genuine, it would move away from politics and have more neutral content. Stuff that is actually interesting and not combative. This is how you guys are seen for what you are.

Reddit was like this when it was founded. It took years and years to build.

Be the change you want to see. I think normie content is a good idea too, and I'll post it whenever I find it. You do the same, and invite your normie friends to Saidit as well.

It doesn't have to take years and years. Whatever is fascinating to the human mind can be posted, but politics and cheap drama is not; so this place is more like a waste of time, bandwidth and intellect.

I'll start with a general post to get something going:

Maybe 10% of the content I've posted about/interacted with on SaidIt was about politics/politically related. You choose what content you interact with and what gets to the front-page by the quality of the content you submit, not political affiliation lol. I've had plenty of great interactions and discussions with the users on this site. Many of my posts have reached the front page, and were non-political documentaries, videos, music or jokes, and the majority of them lead to great discussions or light-hearted jokes.

"You are what you eat". If all you think about and see is politics (and have a victim-mentality to boot), then that's going to be your reality. SaidIt is nothing like Reddit or Voat when it comes to politics; both sites are very extremist when it comes to politics imo, just swinging on the different side of the spectrum. You can still have actual conversations here or play devil's advocate, no matter your political beliefs. Real, OG/regular users on SaidIt don't resort to name-calling; it's always the new accounts that pop in for a day and leave that attempt to make things toxic.

Funny. Some people only see what they project out onto the world. There's a mix of people here
