Jason is right, Saidit will never grow. At least in its current state.

It seems your main complaint is that we don't advertise enough.

Then help us spread the word! You don't have to be an admin to do that.

Changing management isn't going to suddenly create more advertising buzz... if anything the opposite, because I've been promoting this site endlessly, for free, for years now. You won't get a better deal than that. This site operates on $102/mo, all of which goes to server costs, so any growth has to come from word of mouth, from users like you.

Also saidit grew a lot today, we had 1280 comments in the last 24 hours, which is a higher number than I've seen in a long while.

Just imagine if the OP had put the same effort into recommending Saidit to his friends and acquaintances, as he did for this post.

Lol, who here has friends

I came here looking for friends

That would require actual friends instead of recurring alt accounts.

They'll think I'm a transphobe.

Besides, I messaged a ton of subreddits to migrate to saidit. They moved to Lemmy though.

That's good. Sorry for assuming you didn't.

I do think if the owner tried a bit more the website would grow way more than me a single user trying his best to get others here.

Out of all the migrations, we only got a single sub. That's a BIG defeat.

That's the whole point of the post. To make the owner realize we just lost our biggest growth opportunity.

Thank you. I feel your zeal. I think you might be making the same kind of assumptions that I did.

Try to look at the positives instead of the negatives. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

Have you read Foundation by Isaac Asimov? The scientist Seldon forms a thousand year plan to lift civilization out of the dark ages.

A sorry I don't really read books. I was born in generation tiktok so I can't read a page of a book for more than 20 seconds without getting bored.

If you liked me a youtube video discussing this I would watch it though.

A generation that doesn't read books lends support to my point. Here's a short Youtube summary of the book.

A generation that doesn't read books lends support to my point. Here's a short Youtube summary of the book.

I mean. I still gather knowledge, just not from books. The internet is big place and getting my knowledge from places other than books still is very good even compared to someone that gets his knowledge from outdated books.

I'll watch your videos, thanks.

I didn't mean it as a slight. Books never allowed us to instantly share knowledge across the Earth. Everything is a tradeoff. There's pluses and minuses to every technology. Being outdated isn't necessarily a negative either. Have you read 1984 by George Orwell?
