Let me guess, it will be filled with insane extremist propaganda within a month, then chided by the news for it. Then the people who started it are shocked and never saw that coming, and then they have to create rules that put limits on free speech in order to have reasonable discussions which is what they intended originally.

The rules will then get stronger and stronger as the platform grows in popularity, and then because of the strong ties to academia it will eventually become 100% woke in about 3 years and then become irrelevant

In your opinion, could this happen to Saidit?

Not really because I have zero interest in going woke, and we don't have to deal with pressure from academia and etc, and I don't work in an area where I can be pressured like that.

It can/does happen to some degree with every forum, and we did have to dial a few things in after launch to get the site where we wanted it, but now that we're 3 years in to it I think saidit is about as "woke" as we're going to get.
