I just opened this account on saidit because of the censorship wave on reddit. As far as I am concerned, reddit can't die fast enough.

I have been using voat for a couple years but it has been so buggy, slow and slow to grow it's just sad. I'm hoping saidit takes off.

Voat is dead, unless they reopen the ability to register a new account or let guests view the content without registering.

Voat became a nasty place to visit, some time last year. The inmates took over the asylum with no adults paying attention.

Voat became a nasty place to visit when Atko left imo.

Voat is dead unless they can get rid of their user base.

Whats wrong with voat? Havnt been there

The straight up racist extremists have displaced the original user base. I was on there back when it was called whoaverse, totally different crowd now.

Eh, it seemed like voat's "immune system" to leftist takeover was similar to the chans. At first...

But instead of tongue-in-cheek nastiness chasing away NPCs/Sheep/Lemmings, whatever you call them, it made actually nasty people think they'd found good company. Then the hivemind cycle kicked up all over again, but with different triggers.

It was a good place in 2016, but now it's just one more link aggregate in a mass grave of places that had good discussion.

who cares about raycism, nothing wrong with it

[–]TheNorwegian7th 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

A lot of people care about racism and quite a lot of those people find it wrong. I find unsubstantiated arguments retarded and that's Voats racism in a nutshell.

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

only sjws, virtue signalers, npcs and censors care about raycissm

[–]TheNorwegian7th 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Only poo people would use your debate techniques.

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

imagine being this triggered over digital words

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

Don't really browse voat.

Good riddance

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

Reddit silences dissent further? Imagine my shock.

They're getting ready for the run-up to the next election to censor conservatives. Soon there will be no alternative voices at all, just a legion of Borg-like idiots agreeing with each how Bad the Orange Man is. They can't bear the prospect of 4 more years under Trump.

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

i'm surprised how many of my posts and comments they deleted. screw 'em

[–][deleted] 9 insightful - 3 fun9 insightful - 2 fun10 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

The SJW commies are having a great time over there, it seems.

[–]RatherSmallPotato 8 insightful - 2 fun8 insightful - 1 fun9 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

I also notice they seem to be cracking down on alt accounts/if you have many accounts on a single obvious IP/Device.

[–]Dr-Cheeser 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

Really? How do you know? I use many accounts and haven't noticed anything.

[–]SuperConductiveRabbi 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

This seems to be a bug, not intentional. It's happening even in mundane subreddits to non-political accounts.

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

Reddit is really nothing more than a shell of what it used to be. All of the controversial subs were removed in the interest of "cleaning" up, but it's also one of the most easily accessible cringeworthy porn sites on the Internet. Even the things like tech subs are full of garbage that isn't useful. Still some great art stuff there, but that's about it.

Voat...I still have an account on Voat. (edit: but I don't do much there anymore. Who can, with the way the place works, broken 2 out of 3 times you try to access it.) A user put forth the idea that the current situation there is basically the admin saying there's something wrong, without saying it. Regardless, it's just to broken and suspect at this point to take seriously. With only registered users allowed, the flavor of the site has become more and more toxic since new users don't seem to be arriving anymore.

More proof reddit is for cuckolds

[–]Linuxuser 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

It got boring bc nobody cool posts anymore.

[–]Leaf 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

What do u mean by cool post?

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

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

reddit genuinly permabanned me lmao I'm done with that SJW shithole. I'm not getting a VPN over that dead platform.

I had a comment disappear for a bit, and noticed an unusual lack of activity happening on a subreddit I browse on new; perhaps this is related. The comment is now appearing, but didn't get the usual automatic upvote along with several related comments.

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

This isn't new.

[–]kokolokoNightcrawler 1 insightful - 3 fun1 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 3 fun -  (5 children)

You mean the way Saidit ghosts Ice_Poseidon 2?

[–][deleted] 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

Ice poseidon isn't ghosted. The mods over there voluntarily turned on the option to hide their sub from s/all

[–]kokolokoNightcrawler 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Why is there even a function written to be called if not censorship in mind...

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

It's not censorship. If you're sub is 90% of the website's content then it doesn't make sense to leave it on a/all. Also they don't even get their users from saidit so it doesn't matter.

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

I don't think you get my point. Forget about IP2 for a second, why is there an option to hide content display from a supposed free speech forum, if not for down the line censorship... Isn't the whole point or r/all to show the most popular posts, not content just few people wanna see in the way they wanna see it. Fuck all that curating of content...thats exactly how Yewtube and Retardit went down the pipe

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

true

They must save American freedom with censorship.
