Also, for you, my courageous friend : https://infogalactic.com/info/Truther_Top_20s#Truther_Top_20_:_Truthers_.26_SaidIt_Users_On_InfoGalactic

Though, I should have asked first if you wanted to be included.

I'd be interesting in hearing how long it takes to be approved. I forget now.

Be cautious with IG. I've never had any significant problems in my few years there, but I've also not gotten much feedback. And I simply don't trust an eerie quiet. Or a non-responsive administrator.

cool, but im sure most saidit users/admins would make that list

re ig, thanks, good to know, at first i was like, why are they using saturn symbology in their logo? but then i decided i will accept that its a galaxy... i will try not to get doxed by them :-)

I don't know that anyone else has joined InfoGalactic, so unless they do they don't make the list. I just got so excited because to my knowledge I've be the only lone soul lefty and/or anarchist and/or truther on there for the couple/few years I've been there. And it's only been active since 2015 or so. I got so excited I started the list, a long list of two. I think I jumped the gun. Assuming folks don't mind it, it may be useful for communicating. But after reflection, putting names on lists gets some people nervous. Personally I don't give a fuuuuuck. I use my real name because I'm that open. Maybe it will bite me in the ass. I hope, in a very minor way, it gives people courage. If "they" want to find you they'll find you. I'm just making it easier.

Let me know if you think the list is as stupid as I do, or if you think it has any merit.

The logo is unique so far as I know, but I don't think it's particularly great. It's also poorly rendered. Those were my first thoughts. More pressing in my mind was how stupid I thought the name was. It's adequate but has issues. Galactic is about the size of the ego who came up with it. Further it sounds more like some sci-fi thing. It doesn't convey encyclopedia, free speech, nor alternative anything much less alt-right. Uncensorpedia or Speakfreedia or Opencyclopedia would have been better. Further, aside from the logo you wouldn't know it wasn't Wikipedia. A few minor surface changes and it would distinguish itself instead of being a cheap knockoff copy. Wikispooks went purple and I would use it more but it's painfully slow. RationalWiki is not rational but at least they've embraced colour too.
