What is the difference between saidit and Reddit? I'm horrible with navigating and understanding technology, but I'm noticing the changes in the audience of Reddit. So I subscribed here because it's smaller, easier to navigate and no more nonsense comments. I'm liking it so far. But what is going to keep saidit from going down the same road? Is the only difference in the moderation being more rational and transparent?

The admins of reddit are actively working to promote pro-government content, they are giving way too much credit to being politically correct and It's overall a SJW cesspool. There's very few places that somewhat tolerate talking about right wing politics and there is a lot of anti-conspiracy propaganda.

Voat is somewhat better in terms of freedom but I'm sure there is a lot of propaganda to paint the site as "alt right" and super anti-semitic. Also, Voat has almost gone bankrupt quite a few times and it will probably be shut down sooner or later, we don't have that problem here on saidit because we need very little money to keep the site up.

Our site would be more centrist. We will do our best to keep moderation as rational as possible and to fight back against the PR firms because we will eventually be attacked much harder in the future.

Is there a way to block users here? (Just automatically mute posts from a particular user?)

SaidIt the same blocking functionality as reddit. Not sure if it hides posts.
