I wish saidit was more popular

submitted by [deleted] from (self.whatever)

My account got suspended from reddit because I called someone a stupid cunt. But here's the thing, first off they were being a stupid cunt. Secondly, I deleted the comment immediately after posting it so as not to deal with butthurtness. Somehow still, the comment resulted in an account suspension two days later. Like what?

Overall, I'm just sick and tired of reddit and their rules. You can't post to any sub without reading 30 pages of "rules" and intricate instructions for making a post. You can't say certain things without being accused of wrongspeak or what the fuck ever. But I like reddit for one reason: I like reading discussions about current events. (Just sort by controversial and there's always something interesting going on)

I wish saidit was more popular so that we could get more diversity (trigger word for some of you I know) of thought. I don't buy into team sports politics, I genuinely want to vomit when I read 90% of liberal or conservative takes on anything thats happening in the world. What I want to see is actual discussion. So I come to saidit and there's more foaming at the mouth, literally no different than the liberal shit, just a different flavor.

Why can't you stupid fucks see the bigger picture and understand that we are being manipulated regardless of which old man you pick at the voting booth? Are there people on this site that aren't orgasming to pictures of Trump? And look if you love that stupid sack of shit, I'd fight for your right to support him and say whatever you want to say. But it'd be cool if there were also other opinions too. Maybe I just don't know where to look.

And even if something in my rant here triggered or offended you, at least I was able to say it all without getting banned..

Frankly I've never in my life had a hero or admired a celebrity so I've never followed any old man in politics or voted for a personality.

I always vote tactically to benefit my own interests or create the society I want to live in. Of course politicans lie so you might not get the policies you were promised but that is why I always investigate the actual individuals I'm voting for as well as the party so I know if the people at the top screw up I still have someone half sensible I helped get onto a position to buffer that.

Last general election we had a Labour candidate who was a woke yes-woman paracuted in from the nearest urban sprawl or a tory Nigerian dad who's ideal way to run the country was as a strict religions Nigerian household. So of course I voted for the latter. Then he's ended up in the business department of government and has been pushing for small businesses to get grants and cheep loans then pushing for lockdown to be lifted. The government was a shit show but he was a good choice.

Thanks for the comment!

So do you want the country to be run like a strict religious Nigerian household? Or is it just that he was the lesser of two evils for you?

    You'll get more points of view here than on reddit, guaranteed. It might not meet your preference but it is still way better than reddit, but of course we don't have the volume here to provide a lot of discussion on more niche areas.

    Me too. Spread the word if you want it to grow.

    Part of the difficulty with reddit alternatives is you often just get the opinions that are banned on reddit, so it become its own echo-chamber of sorts that is just an inverse of the reddit echo-chamber. I agree having more types of thinking is good, and thankfully saidit is far from a hivemind as others have pointed out. As the breadth of things reddit bans increases, saidit's userbase will grow.

    Freedom of speech, thought and expression is a fundamental basic of a truly progressive civilization. The jewish supremacists cannot permit such a standard for reasons we are not permitted to openly discuss. I really don't know what comes of this but there is a subtle undercurrent of awareness of this issue and it's growing.

        Jailbait was the most popular sub by far. Why do you think there aren't any jailbait subs on any of the alternative platforms?

        Sometimes I wonder if all of these alternatives aren't just containment sites for the free thinkers and jailbait isn't allowed because it would attract the masses and expose them to free thought.

        Interesting comment.. thanks for that! I remember the earlier days of reddit vaguely but wasn't really a part of it because I was just a kid and not interested at the time.

        The consensus among a lot of replies to this post is basically that with diversity and popularity comes an inevitable shift to heavy moderation and censorship. But is that inevitable, or is it just something that admins have chosen to do on several websites? Is it possible for a website to be popular and for the leadership of that website to refuse to engage in censorship? Idk.

        Either way, I'm learning to appreciate saidit for what it is.

        Nor could it stay that way and keep making money.

        Reddit does not make money. That is the excuse (((they))) brainwashed you with to hide the fact that they pay a lot of money to have reddit as a propaganda platform. People continue to trust reddit because of that excuse. If they realized it exists to shape their opinions, contain thier criticism, and consume thier free time they would be far more skeptical about the content.

        All of these other sites, including SAIDIT do not have the volume to get the amazing insights you can find occasionally on reddit. Been using the platform for over a decade, it literally helped me after coming home injured from Baghdad. Now, I hardly recognize it do to the wokeness.

        Why..

        This doesn't make any sense. We still have the largest army on the planet and a large consumer base as well. If they need more money they'll print what they need..

        No one will unseat it from the outside.

        How it will be undone is for despots to destroy it from within. I'd say this is happening at record pacing since Clinton.

        I'm particular, Obama, Trump and Biden have been particularly aggressive about destroying the country. And yes, Trump was bad, that he recognized and called out secret courts claiming he'd release info that they gather Ed even on himself so we could see what they collect and never did it, or allow mailbox voting was country crushing. Let alone vax mandates etc. Trump groomed the country for Biden. Bidden is the phallus without batteries the masterminds have waited for long time.

        Why? Everything you need is here. There’s community, we all know each other. There’s feedback. Is it tens of comments to thousands? No, but you’ll get fresh comments on your perspective or article you post. And there’s the same all ass hats as Reddit.

        It’s just a smaller community, and as soon as they start to get big, they will start mass banning people like Reddit.

        Let it stay small.

        I've just been banned for pretty much the same thing. I knew I was going to be banned but had reached the point of fuck it, and thought I would at least enjoy the brief pleasure of telling a few of them the were cunts before being fired off. Banned for harrassment for calling them scratched-record cunts. Fuck, that's just friendly banter for me.

        That was my third account. Each time I go back because there are things that you can't find elsewhere but as hard as I try to stick with non-political subs the shit pops up every fucking time. This time it was a science sub of all places. Saying that the Russian public backing Putin were just like MAGA, that it was a mental disease. These troons are fucked in the head. The only people with an obsession with Trump is them. We've all moved on and there they are, lying in bed every night jerking themselves into a stupor about Trump.

        I sense incoming libtard trying to "turn the tables" on conservatives by throwing back thier insults even if it doesn't quite make sense.

        Are there people on this site that aren't orgasming to pictures of Trump?

        Confirmed.

        If you think Trump is a diety for the other side you need to get off of social media and get some fresh air. You are not living in reality.

        [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

        I definitely don't qualify as a "liberal." And Trump kind of is a deity to conservatives if we're talking about your every day US conservative. There are exceptions of course but that's the reality for a lot of people. I don't need social media in order to reach that conclusion, lol.

        [–]Canbot 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (6 children)

        That is where your perception of conservatives comes from. I guarantee you don't hang out with any IRL. You are simply too simple to realize that everything you think you know about them actually comes from social media or other leftists in your life.

        [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

        The amount of assumptions you're making about me is just odd. I'm not a "leftist" or a liberal. I have several conservative friends and family members. And I do understand that not every single conservative person worships Trump. It's an exaggeration, but it is a real thing that is happening within the country. Ultimately both "sides" are not all the same, there's a lot of variation within them just as much as there is between them, but both sides think they know all there is to know about the other. It's all stereotypes. So I get why you're frustrated about what I'm saying, and maybe I shouldn't have generalized as much as I did. It's just hard to find people that aren't playing team sports with politics these days.

        [–]Canbot 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

        I'm not a "leftist" or a liberal.

        The propaganda which comes out of you says otherwise. You may not consider yourself that while still being that. Just because you are not as radical left as the people who surround you does not mean your politics are not on the left. And you clearly have a radical understanding of conservatives.

        With that said, I don't know what you politics are outside of the leftist stuff you said here. But if you don't think what you have said here is leftist then I don't expect the rest to be any better.

        The vast majority of Trump supporters are really just individualists and anti authoritarians. Trump is the only politician with any chance of gaining office who is not part of the corrupt system. They defend him from slander and for that they are called cultists.

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

        I'm asking because I genuinely want an answer, I'm not trying to be hostile: Is it "leftist" to dislike Trump? I don't know what else I said in my post that could give that impression. There are people from many parts of the political spectrum that don't like him- namely FOR corruption and authoritarianism. From my perspective, people who support him deny that he's ever done anything wrong and refuse to even look into any claims because it's automatically considered fake news. Whereas if they catch a whiff of corruption from any other politician, they assume it's true. That just doesn't make sense to me. And it's that sort of thing that feels culty within his fanbase.

        I don't know what you'd consider me politically, I don't agree with most liberal or conservative takes. I guess libertarian would be the closest thing to describe me. I'm not a fan of any current politicians. All I see is hypocrisy and lies on both sides.

        From my perspective, people who support him deny that he's ever done anything wrong and refuse to even look into any claims because it's automatically considered fake news

        Fair enough, but you did not get that perspective from conversations IRL correct?

        On line there is a LOT of propaganda and everyone is exhausted from the unending torrent of lies and spin coming from trolls who don't care if you prove them wrong because there are no consequences or memory of thier lies. And even if Trump is a ruthless buisnesman who fucked people over it may not be relevant to the topic but is still used as an ad hominem.

        Not saying this makes your criticism invalid, but a little context is in order.

        Taking "they blew off my criticism" and turning it into "hur der trumpets" is the leftist mentality I am seeing.

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

        I got that perspective from my experience online and offline, but I also acknowledge that not every Trump voter was like that.

        I guess when I'm thinking of the term leftist, I'm thinking of political beliefs, not conversational habits. There's ignorant people who spout fallacies on both sides. In fact both sides mirror each other so much it's maddening. I'm in a purple state so I've met people from a variety of political affiliations and it seems like most people who are passionate about one side or the other are the same in many ways.

        I appreciate the conversation, by the way. I might have started off on the wrong foot and come off as overly hostile.

        I agree with the horseshoe theory, but I don't think we have extremists on this site.

        We might have more in common than it seems. Personally I like arguing with leftists, at least intelligent ones. So if you know any, send them my way.

        Perhaps you can invite people on other sites, or people you know IRL, to saidit for a conversation.
