Saidit is its own worst enemy - a combination of mean and stupid - which keeps Saidit very small and ultra right-wing

Every free speech platform becomes right wing relative to society because those in power are pushing progressivism. With thier power they have pushed society to the far left relative to rationality. Where truth is allowed to be spoken and debated it wins.

The powerful use intersectionality to divide and conquer. They use CRT to subvert thier greatest rival. And they push LGBT+ to normalize hedonism and bring back pedophilia. They can not be reasoned with, but the useful idiots can.

As far as scaring off users, my experience is that everyone uses insults but to leftists it is far more emotional because they are used to echo chambers that only attack the right. The right is used to it being attacked.

Not only that, the left has many walled gardens to run to where they are coddled and congratulated for repeating the party line. The right has far fewer places to go, and anywhere they go they encounter paid agitators.

Even if no users ever ran, they would eventually be converted and this website would be "right wing" anyway. The red pill is inevitable.

reddit, in its founding.. was an awesome place for everyone

those in power are pushing progressivism.

but then aaron schwartz died.

that was the day i saw censorship take over

it was instant

They can not be reasoned with, but the useful idiots can.

unfortunately 90%, a majority of whom are GOOD but only good by following the NORM .. STAYED ON REDDIT

more are being pushed away now, but most still afraid to be seen as outside the NORM

Things were far less political back then. That was before ShareBlue, before Acorn, before the tools they have now to propagandize. There are people on here paid to create controversy, to pretend to be right wing and be vile, trained to neutralize platforms that allow free speech. What Reddit was back then is not necessarily something saidit can be today.

Thanks for contributing the first comment. For what it's worth, much of what you write here is arguably the opposite. For example:

Every free speech platform becomes right wing relative to society because those in power are pushing [RIGHT WING PROPAGANDA]. With thier power they have pushed society to the far [RIGHT] relative to rationality. Where truth is allowed to be spoken and debated it wins.

The powerful use intersectionality to divide and conquer. They use CRT to subvert thier greatest rival. And they push [FASCISM] to normalize hedonism and bring back pedophilia. They can not be reasoned with, but the useful idiots can.

As far as scaring off users, my experience is that everyone uses insults but to [REPUBLICANS AND FASCISTS] it is far more emotional because they are used to echo chambers that only attack the right. The right is used to it being attacked.

Not only that, the [MAGATARDS HAVE] many walled gardens to run to where they are coddled and congratulated for repeating the party line. The [LEFT HAVE] far fewer places to go, and anywhere they go they encounter paid agitators.

Even if no users ever ran, they would eventually be converted and this website would be "right wing" anyway. The red pill is inevitable.

Wow, it took you this long just to come up with this contrarian nonsense?!

Literally no one is dumb enough to think Reddit, Google, mainstream media, Twitter, Facebook, etc are right wing. The fact that those in power are pushing leftist ideologies is indisputable. It is amazing that you have the shameless audacity to make such an idiotic statement.

    The websites you mention are helpful, but not the most powerful

    They literally are. By any rational measure, and by a huge margin.

      Both the government and the media are controlled by the same people. That doesn't mean total control, all the time. The exceptions do not disprove the rule.

      The rules are that BLM riots across the country are allowed to destroy cities, kill people, ruin small businesses and countless lives, destroy cities and no one gets prosecuted and they are venerated by the media. The media and government act as one. Google manipulates search results, Twitter censors trending hash tags, Facebook shadowbans alternative news.

      The FBI gives immunity to state department employees who destroyed evidence to an active investigation under the guise of getting cooperation and the media never talks about the blatant corruption of both departments. Social media platforms do thier part to censor it too.

      Meanwhile a kangaroo court is held to overthrow a sitting president, complete with falsified data from the FBI. The following election is full of fraud and the people who protest it are called insurectionists and thrown in jail.

      Gay flags are painted on city streets as literal terrorists take over parts of Portland, in an actual insurrection, where they have a murder every week with zero prosecution and once again full support from government and media.

      The people in power have an agenda. That agenda is called progressivism. All the weak minded fools have been brainwashed into thinking it was all thier own idea as they carry out the will of the elite.

      That's because I knew you might be defensive.

      Not only does that not explain the absurd claims it is an ad hominem. There is nothing "defensive" or emotional about my response. It is your insane contradiction that is defensive.

      "The powerful" you mention are especially the GOP

      The GOP are not powerful, conservative, or anti woke. Most of them are part of the swamp. They are controlled by the powerful, and certainly have about as much sway as the DNC but the false dichotomy that is the two party system is a scam.

      leading to extreme income inequality.

      Welfare is NOT a solution to income inequality. It is a political football thrown around to occupy the peons and have them fight each other over it. Neither party will ever do anything to reduce wealth inequality. They literally have fools begging to give more power to the wealthy with a promise that they will redistribute it back to them.

      The democrats and Republicans are on the same team, and it's not yours.

        I don't think you can say every. Only the ones that get traction get bought out. If they bought every alternative they would get gamed by people spamming new sites and selling them.

        This is really fucking interesting. When i'm sharing stuff in some messenger groups, i'm in

        it quite often looks to me like: "far"-right and "far"-left subgroups often somewhat coincidentally "fight" for the same thing.

        And i wouldn't take this seriously if it didn't happen again and again. Continuously, so to say. For a fact.

        Maybe these labels just are bullshit themselves...
