The only thing that I would say is an obvious problem right now is that the subsaidit is on /s/all. This might be one of the reasons for why the two most 'Hot' threads right now are literally bemoaning 'anti-Semitism' or whatever, although some of our people are also easy to find on the default subs, including in the two threads I mentioned. Basically, these threads are full-blown fights between Leftists who want a 'safe space' that simply accepts their subset of contrarian Leftism which the globohomo mainstream Left on Reddit won't accept, and people who have been here longer, who are generally more Right-leaning because the Right was expelled from Reddit earlier:

https://saidit.net/s/AskSaidIt/comments/5ia6/whats_with_all_the_antijewish_stuff_on_this_site/ (the top commenter on this hilariously looks like one of our guys)

So, what's going on? Well, because those fools at Reddit are banning Leftist communities that deviate from the party line on some single particular issue (e.g. feminists who won't accept 'transwomen', queers who think trans are 'erasing' them and other such nonsense) even though they agree on all the rest, they're flooding here. You can see this simply by looking at 'Find New Subs', where a great deal of new subs are obviously the creations of these contrarian Leftists (for example, as of writing this, s/GCmemes is already at 56 members despite being here for 16 hours). In the last two days you also have /s/gc_woc (looks like a fusion of Gender Critical + intersectional, reverse racism [don't talk over wimminz o' colour, ebil wypipo wimminz!]), s/GenderCriticalUSA, s/FemaleDatingStrategy (whose sidebar is blatantly exclusive, stating anything that 'contradicts' their ideology is banned), s/RadicalFeministForum (whose moderator is apparently desperate to have it remain on s/all despite it obviously looking like an exclusive community).

By contrast, of obvious 'Right' communities I can only see a tiny s/Nationalism over the past two days. It's obvious that what is effectively a microcosm of the Great Replacement is rapidly occurring. If you go back further down the list, the same thing can be observed—radical feminist communities are particularly springing up like weeds, and there are a few other communities like s/BlackGirlDiaries (essentially a black femcel community, i.e. black females who view themselves as 'oppressed' because of their race and biological sex and their self-admitted ugliness [for some inexplicable reason, femcels seem to think that it is unfair that men 'don't value them', even though they believe themselves to be flagrantly unattractive and thus are hardly the kind who should be propagating their genes] simultaneously).

We can see how Reddit's purity spiraling or salami slicing is driving the same people who are essentially part of the problem (Leftists angry that they're being attacked by their own side, whose view is essentially 'we didn't leave the Left, they left us'), and who essentially want Reddit minus the mainstream globohomo strand that kicked them out. I think the big question for this site is just how these communities are going to coexist in peace, particularly on the s/all subs. Don't worry about the site becoming Voat (how could this happen when almost every recent new user is probably RadFem, detrans or LGBdroptheT?), worry about it becoming Raddle.
