What killed this site? Trump or Biden's policies? I hardly ever get replies and I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if this site is just really dead?

submitted by [deleted] from self.politics

It seems only picture posts get the most votes that have little to no discussions and I tried but give up as this site and the web in general has gone down the crapper. ALL the answering sites are just stupid posts now rewording the same things.

It's all smartphones now and Twitter like replies. I really hoped Trump was going to fix it as part of his MAGA but he ignored our critical infrastructure and instead played patty cake with the MSM press and lost. He should've known it was futile to play mind games with the puppet masters or did he and lead us along as part of a grander agenda? 😕

I also had hope Biden would fix things as everywhere you went he was being made to look good like a country bumpkin sort of figure that understood the needs of the lower class but instead he has turned against us on a dime in literally 24 hours.

Some of those accounts post the same link to 6 or 9 subs in a row. New doesn't look too bad at the moment, though.

Every time a place like this opens up it eventually gets invaded by commies and leftists trying to bring it down. They are literally trying to take over the world and no one is allowed an opinion that doesn't agree with theirs.

Also Biden didn't turn against you. He didn't turn at all. This is who he is who he's always been. You were warned and you didn't listen because you swallowed the propaganda. The left is now communist and they are selling this country over to China.

In the beginning he had all these infrastructure plans. https://www.forbes.com/sites/normananderson/2020/11/13/the-biden-infrastructure-plan-a-300-billion-stimulus-a-3-trillion-ten-year-initiative-or-both/?sh=5699a473d42b which he seemed to have put on the back burner for executive orders instead.

Well everywhere I looked it was Trump people calling you names if you questioned Trump and they acted as if he was the Messiah. The bible makes it clear there is only ONE Messia and it ain't Trump boy!

Trump doesn't have reliable people. Republicans are just an alliance of unrelated not-completely-evil people at this point, they don't have a unifying program. Democrats are openly evil at this point, promise political persecution and to revoke constitutional rights. Biden has offered nothing but to be obedient.

Admins have removed things when pressured by external forces, the pyramid of subjectivity says admins can ban whomever they want.

I've figured out recently that Republicans do not have any form of organization. Rush Limbaugh is late to the show and is talking about the big tech tyranny on his Stack Of Stuff. It's actually very good when he does wake up he WAKES UP!! The sleeping dragons awake!

This is how braindead millennials and Gen Z communicates: With emojis and 40-char tweets. Millennials are the stupidest generation in human history and Z is likely to be worse.

This is Earth now.

Can't wait to see when pictures are the only form of communications and we go back around the circle to cave paintings. God seems to want us to live in caves.

it gets flooded with fake news posts from shills so actual discussion gets lost in new

the web in general has gone down the crapper.

Sure seems to have. Kind of a reflection of our society at large.

As for the replies, note that new is flooded with far more posts than the number of people using saidit can respond to, and new commenting sites are springing up everyday.

I never see any (comment sites) but new posts seem to gain insane amounts of upvotes despite very little content.

Engagement numbers I've seen have a tiny fraction of viewers commenting, with a larger number only voting, and the vast majority watching or reading with no further interaction. That would vary a lot depending on the site and other factors, but more votes than comments is pretty normal.
