Says the 3 month old account.

Why did you join SaidIt socks?

Let trolls troll. It keeps things interesting.

I can't remember, but I've discussed in several threads why I've remained at Saidit (for the time being). I think my first posts were about politics, and that discussion continues, and it's been important to see how right-wing news media and gossip propagate on a site like Saidit. It's important to look at the points of view of many on Saidit I don't agree with, even if it's necessary to have a 'thick skin' about some of the responses I get. I could join Gab, Parler, and/or The_Donald, but what I've seen at those sites is far more toxic than what I see on Saidit. The other reason is that I have the same interests in politics for the 99% instead of the 1% as many people here, and I wonder why they don't see how the misinformation and disinformaation they get from a range of news media and social media sources (right or left wing, but often anti-fact, and anti-science) actually helps the 1% at the expense of the 99%. I get more information on this periodically.
