I don't know if that is the best approach, this mindset of competition. It might be better to just focus on doing as much good here as possible and ignore Reddit. As long as there is a mindset to crush someone else, they still have relevance in your mind. Nobody would feel they need to crush My Space -- because they are irrelevant. I have only been using saidit for a few days and I am already starting to forget about Reddit. This place gives me so many good vibes about older days. It feels snappier, it doesn't want an e-mail from you, no phone number, and it reminds me of the good people who built the Internet who we lost along the way.

Either way, I do like the spirit, though. I rather have that than people just mindlessly migrating from one platform to the next, every time the SJWs and the pearlclutchers and the killjoys take over the next place. Better some healthy competition than no energy at all.

What's keeping me from using this platform is all the blatant racism getting upvoted on this sub. I get that it's supposed to have no censorship, but if your userbase is a bunch of weirdos I'm out.

Then it seems that votes bother you more than reading racist statements. I don't know how much sympathy I have for that.

I also don't know what you believe is racist. If you think about statements about differences in population averages, I will have to disappoint you. I am going by what I believe the facts are saying and they show population differences. We know that individuals vary, I do not know why people expect averages to be the same.

That does not mean we need to mistreat anyone. If we can respect the differences between individuals, we can also respect the differences between groups. Many people who know of these differences are too cowardly to state them openly. The left thinks that as soon as we acknowledge population differences, that will be justification for putting people into concentration camps, but I believe that humanity needs to get to the point that group differences are accepted the same way individual differences are accepted. I thought that they like diversity so much. These differences come with human diversity. You cannot have one without the other. We cannot all be diverse and then all the same in every way we care about.

Sorry, but that is not how reality works. That is not reality for gender differences and it is not reality with ethnic differences.

If you are talking about people shouting nigger all other the place, the novelty of it wears off quickly. They might have gotten censored for too long so they are a little too excited that they can say this without repercussion here. If some have to hear cracker from time to time, I am sure you can deal with nigger here and there.
