Why I like saidit. It doesn't have downvotes, and that is pro free-speech. When you have downvotes that discourages people from speaking up. We don't need downvotes. If someone says something dumb here, then it just won't rise up, and that's enough. There doesn't need to be double punishment.

There is no site worse than Reddit. Reddit doesn't even represent reality, it's worse than being imprisoned in a liberal arts private college run only for trannies and their allies, why do you like it at all?

I don't anymore. I didn't used to be like that, it has only gotten that way in recent years. It might change again after the US elections. But I'd hate to see Saidit going just as extreme in the opposite direction. Saidit actually has a chance of being a good reputable conservative site. Lets not let it descend into a KKK circlejerk.

Are moderators unable to curate at all? Not quite sure how saidit works just yet.

I don't know either. With Saidit being so small right now, you'd think the mods could control things a bit better and create an expectation for what the site should be like. Now is the time.

It really gets to be a fine line when it comes to censorship, but yes I agree that I don't want constant "i hate jews" type crap in my sub. At the same time, I'm here because reddit banned all feminist communities that refused to jump on the "men can be women" bandwagon. At the same time, there's a difference between saying that I don't think biological men should be considered women just because they say they're women, and saying "i hate all transpeople" or "all transpeople are evil because they're trans". I think reddit similarly is blocking any discussions that discuss their definition of "oppressed" groups as bad actors, even when said discussions are about individuals acting badly or ideologies as a whole.
