Can we advertise about getting more people on saidit?

People need to help get the word out tbh. I can't do it all on my own!

[–][deleted] 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

It honestly needs more text-driven posts. Texts with lots of links. That would generate more discussion from the lurkers, I feel.

[–]madcow-5 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Needs apolitical content too.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Hard to do these days.

[–]Wankers 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I'll try to provide. Gonna call out the obvious to see if the audience is worth it.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 6 fun2 insightful - 5 fun3 insightful - 6 fun -  (4 children)

I didn't know you wanted us to advertise. Do you want me bringing more people like me here? I get the feeling one of me is almost too much.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

Me too. :-)

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

You me and Fed I feel like make up the liberal section of Saidit.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I'd agree with that. Yall seem to be center-left, but not as far left as that sunflowers guy.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I used to be more liberal but they've been going in a direction I think is incredibly foolish. But conservatives can be downright heartless sometime.

I'm reading this whole series of books by Jaxon Reed, Agents of the Planetary Republic. I think it's youth fiction but they're entertaining. The thing is the good guys are Libertarians and the bad guys are socialists and democrats. Lots of political views snuck in. Lots of onomatopoeia too. That's... Different.

He makes some good points though, I agree with the Libertarian philosophy to an extent.

Funny how some dude named magnora can create this website but trump uses twitter, so called billionaire. Other scrubs make dot win sites to support him, guess his billions can't create a website LOL.

[–]madcow-5 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

That was a big disappointment with him. It was stupid for him to be so lazy on the tech side. One of the first things Obama did was revamp whitehouse.gov. Trump could have used that in some way as his official megaphone.

[–]jykylsin2034 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yeah saidit is more important than what some Zionist has to say on gab

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

How would we do that?

[–]magnora7 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

When there are threads of people like "hey I wish there was an alternative, I'm sick of this website" and then you comment "try out saidit.net" or something like that.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I'll do that.

[–]magnora7 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Cheers.

And if you can encourage others on saidit to do the same too, that would be helpful. We need more word of mouth.

[–][deleted] 7 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

This might be why Gab went down yesterday. I thought they where DDoS'd by the Communists, but perhaps it was an accidental DDoS by Trump supporters flocking to a safe haven.

I'd recommend that anyone still using Twitter or Parler make a Gab account ASAP. Twitter is going into a communist crack-down, and Parler might be erased from the face of the Internet at any moment.

[–]Wankers 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

All social media is garbage. They create voats. 4chan is the original but how do they pay for it you might wonder? Just some rich guy through 2 grand a month and never being known in comments.

Voat a bit different, he made millions with bitcoin.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yep - when it's possible to follow the money, this sometimes links to the Koch brothers, and to PACS. Opportunitsts have been making $ millions with extreme right wing websites, because they can, not because of "free speech". There should be an FCC law requiring them to reveal their funding.

[–]Nemacolin 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (12 children)

Why would I want to hear from him?

[–]magnora7 9 insightful - 3 fun9 insightful - 2 fun10 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

Yeah I am tired of empty talk from people who make a living misleading others. I have other things to do

[–][deleted] 6 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

After 4 years of the insane back and forth reporting of him on every news outlet and forum I too need a break from mad-dog politics.

[–]roguecanine 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

It's not about you in particular wanting to hear him, but about him being able to talk, so those who want had the ability to listen.

[–]Nemacolin 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

He can talk. I just will not both to listen.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

You don't have to follow him. I won't, I don't want to hear from him either, but he deserves a platform — even if he's kind of crazy.

[–]asterias 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Exactly.

I never followed him or any other politician, but all this cancel craze is nothing but the harbinger of worse things. Those Big Tech companies with their global reach will now justify censorship on a global scale and decide who will get a right to public speaking and who won't.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

The left likes to pretend like censorship only hurts right-wingers, but they've censored the Green Party too — and if literal Communists are being censored, then who is safe? No one is safe!

[–]Nemacolin 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

If he would like to buy or build a platform, cool. He has no right to be on anyone else's platform.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Gab is welcoming him with open arms, Nema.

[–]Nemacolin 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Yet oddly, he is upset he not longer has a free soapbox on other platforms.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I'm only upset that Gab keeps going down due to all the Trump supporters trying to use it all at once.

[–]Nemacolin 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Perhaps I was unclear. I was trying to say President Trump seems to be upset that the important platforms want nothing to do with him.

[–]LarrySwinger2 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

Alright, I'll be making an account. Are you guys on it? Maybe we can friend each other.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

It's down again, but my username is the same as my Saidit.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (9 children)

Trump lost the election. He's a loser, just like everyone who voted for him.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (8 children)

That's irrelevant.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

You got scammed hun.

[–]madcow-5 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

And you didn’t? You’ve literally had two presidential primaries stolen from you and handed to the behind closed doors DNC pick. This time, you’re winding up with a president who no one voted for in the primary. Kamala started as the DNC favorite and tanked the moment the public got any exposure to her. She was out in the first round.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yep, they rigged it against Bernie twice.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

Free speech isn't a scam, it's a right.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Trump doesn't care about free speech and will do NOTHING to protect speech against his power.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

That doesn't mean he shouldn't have free speech.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Free speech does not mean "speech without consequence". It means the government cannot penalize you. Private companies are under no obligation to provide anyone with a platform for speech.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Gab chooses to provide a platform for free speech, they're literally begging him to join.

[–]madcow-5 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

I kind of just want a new tech platform that doesn’t ban people for having a conservative view, but isn’t centered around conservative views, much less Trump as an individual.

This is why I enjoy saidit, I just wish there were more of us.

I’m tired of circle jerks. Especially the meme-centric worship of Trump, even though I voted for the guy.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Yeah, most free speech websites are heavily biased towards the right. Saidit is better than Gab, but most people here are right-wing.

[–]madcow-5 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

It's way better than voat and better than rukkus too. The main reason I'm here. It seems like this place has some potential to breach apolitical content since it's not a total one sided political circle-jerk.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Mhm

[–]sproketboy 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

He's on Parler now AFAIK.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

That's why the Commies are attacking it.

[–]madcow-5 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Seems to be down now.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

fuck, it is.
