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.

Yeah. I'm going to need other content than people's politics to stay sane here. I've long since gotten desensitized to racial slurs and scapegoating to the point that I don't feel indignant, but . . . bored.

I didn't have any of my normal stuff taken out by The Purge, so I have a bit of a buffer. But, yeah, my mission is to play court jester for a while to help people settle. That is my micro-political act of civil libertarianism, or . . . whatever.

Basically the same.

Which normal users have already been here for two weeks? Maybe a bunch of people can collaborate to make some fun subs.

(meanwhile I'm trying to figure out how to unsubscribe from some of the worse defaults. It's funny, I'm pretty grossed out by stuff here, but I can shrug and be like "oh well, that's what happens when you declare a witch hunt free island, you get a lot of witches" (rip ssc) whereas reddit was just... Either allow disgusting stuff or don't allow disgusting stuff, don't only disallow disgusting stuff that happens to not be politically aligned with you.

RIP SSC indeed.

God, these are dark times. If Scott can't make in this world, what hope is there for the rest of us?

so I've been looking through the list of all subs. There are a lot of non-political subs here, just most are dead, or filled with spam/unrelated content, or filled with weirdos who might also be spam.

but I'm slowly finding sort of normalish ones. There's s/aww, s/writing, s/fitness, s/art, s/cats...

After my 2-weeks are up, in addition to cloning my main project r/weirdcollapse, I think I might start s/forNormies. For now, my plan is to be the change I want to see in s/askSaidit and help some of you kind people in specific subs if asked.
