You won't have any input into how things are managed on SaidIt, no matter how much you contribute.

You are better off decentralizing and creating your own Lemmy instances and networks for autonomous self-responsible communities.

I think that in the long run, there will need to be a Way of the Bern Lemmy.

I think there may have been a Way of the Bern Discord as well.

But yes, having a platform with more control is vastly preferable to the risk of Saidit going down or following the path of Reddit.

I presume Discord would ban the sub for "medical misinformation" or some BS like that. 100% woke, data selling software.

Please let me know if/when that WotB Lemmy happens and/or if you'd like to collaborate on establishing a decentralized network of Lemmy instances.

I'm done with SaidIt.

Then what happens to your <checks profile> 54 subs?

I think you are probably right, even if Reddit caves on API pricing. Eventually, they will go after subs that are counter-narrative like WotB. Particularly with 2024 looming. Particulary when they are trying to sell a dementia patient again.

While Saidit is fine now, the powers that be will try to do to it, what they did to Subscribe Star when the largest Patrons of Patreon were leaving en masse in solidarity with Sargon of Akkad's ban.

That sounds like a lot of work. Seems more prudent at this time to help pitch in for the current option, while we evaluate future and past options, for a time. Who knows, maybe Spez will relent, or not.

Freedom is a lot of work.

You know there's a culture war and governments increasing censorship laws like Canada's Bill C11.

A site like SaidIt is a single point of failure easily stomped. Distributed/decentralized alternatives are the only way to survive and avoid a 1984 future.

Never put your hope in Spez.

Let's just go back to PHPbb forums at this point lol.

Yes! Visit mine at https://rabbithole.wf. I will create a subforum for you and let you moderate it. I'm implementing the concept of Reddit on PhpBB for a better UX.

You won't have any input into how things are managed on SaidIt, no matter how much you contribute.

You also won't have any input into the formula for Pepsi, no matter how much you buy.

But if you like the product, and like how it currently is, you'd still like to have it available to you while it is how it currently is.

If you don't like how it currently is [or how it becomes later], there's always RC Cola.
But you won't have any input into the formula for RC Cola either.

I've never been satisfied with SaidIt. When I came here I was sold a pile of promises and lies that we could improve it. Without a management overhaul Saddit will slowly die, no matter what recent fresh breath of WotB may bring.

And yet, instead of doing what you are suggesting others do, you're still here, suggesting that others not do what you have done. And are doing.

Jason got a point. The owner needs to transfer his ownership since he's not active. The platform is very active and it could grow but it's lacking a lot of features that we users simply can't put as mere users, or admins.

Not anymore.

Signing off for a while.

Y'all don't know Jason, but he's half retarded.
