It's easy to call someone a snowflake when they don't feel welcomed on SaidIt and want to go back to Reddit, but we would be completely missing the point if we don't at least try to understand where they are coming from.
Let's face it. There seems to be quite a bit of opposition for BLM, trans rights, masks, Jews, status quo, and many times, common sense over here. And I wouldn't say there's anything "wrong with this", but it's definitely a thing. And those of us who don't like the cabal and value free speech over anything else, aren't usually that sensitive when it comes to opinions of others. We've largely learned to deflect the propaganda and shilling as second nature, and we aren't "offended" when opposing viewpoints are presented, because we just ignore that and don't take it seriously.
However, seems like many users on this site could do with more empathy and respect. We don't need to agree with the opinions of anyone really, but we should be showing respect towards even the most brainwashed or the most enlightened individual.
Do you want SaidIt to be a place where more than just a handful of open individuals gather mostly to shitpost about how ridiculous Reddit and sheepies are, or would you rather see SaidIt as a sanctuary for free speech where free speech is seen as a valuable instrument and tool that's to be respected. It seems like we all take free speech here for granted. And many of us are the reason why free speech "seems" to be going away on some platforms like Reddit because we didn't realize that with great power, comes great responsibility.
I get it, we are all woke autists here that have to stand up for ourselves because of how fucked everything is around us and nothing but the self can truly be depended on. Can't we just be respectful autists instead of edgy and angry autists?
