Newcomers: Let's make sure Saidit is better than Reddit. This shouldn't be a place to waste time, but to have productive and intelligent discussions.

I won't stop anyone from making a shitposting sub. They have every right to do it. But I also have every right to think it's pointless, and to express my opinion on that. All content is not created equal.

My main driver for posting this is seeing several reddit alternatives (and online alternatives in general) go down the tubes. They tend to devolve into outrage porn and edgy meme posting very, very quickly. I just want Saidit to avoid the same fate.

That's what communities are for and why they should be able to operate independently. If a sub wants to shit post then let them, if a sub wants to have serious discussion then let them.

Something I think is probably hurting this site during this reddit exodus is not being able to create a community for two weeks.

I think it's a decent idea to prevent spam, but yeah during this exodus specifically it's a problem.
