Since Saidit has been good to us all and provided us a new home, we want to bring attention to their Patreon so we can help chip in for the server costs and any upgrades they might need to keep this place going.

Was it just for that? There is a reason I'm here and not on Ruqqus or Voat, they're pretty extreme.

Ruqqus isn't any more extreme than saidit. If anything, I kind of think ruqqus is a tiny bit closer to the mainstream side of things culturally speaking. Voat was co-opted a long time ago by the same government people who co-opted american militias in the 80's-90's and pretended to be racist fags.

I'd have to disagree. I avoid Ruqqus and Voat because they're havens for extremists and racists. The content is offensive to me. I don't want to read right wing radical's posts.

Ummm... yeah. That's the sort of stupid shit I don't want to read tbh.

Best stay off the internet then. Its a dirty world out there.

You need to surround yourself with a better class of online people if you think that true. Hardly a day goes by I don't have kind and well meaning exchanges with good and decent friends I've met online. I've exchanged birthday and Christmas presents with them, had--hell, have them talk me through tough times when nobody else was there.

You're really missing out if you think the entire internet is a cesspit like voat and ruqqus.

In the dirt you sometimes find gems and gold nuggets, but you also sometimes find squirrel poop.

According to the site management, yeah. Patreon booted them for being rayciss. Their hosting company booted them as well for the same reason. They've resorted to selling coins like reddit.

    You keep making accounts to spam it, you must care deeply.
