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.

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.
