Zapped

I think the main strength is that all opinions are welcomed to be expressed and any reasoning or evidence to back up those opinions can be given without ridicule by the group. I've only seen some individual acts of dismissiveness here. Maybe that's because this site attracts users who are more independent-minded in nature.

I enjoy the banter, the humour, the chat, the conspiracies and the guys on chat who make my day. It's a decent hideaway from the censorship ridden shithole that the internet has become. Saidit is a welcome retreat into freedom of speech, although it's often a tad on the dry side in terms of topics and discussion. It just needs a dose of memery here and there.

It's the people. Love you nigs.

It is nice to be know that you won't get banned for some dumb shit.

I like the community here and the fact that we have many different viewpoints but (mostly) still get along. I post here because I know I'm not going to be censored or shadowbanned like other major platforms. I also like the fact that there are no downvotes.

Gravi

I like the fact that I can say nigger, say how much I dislike certain races, spit hate on the JOOS and free speech more or less.

Nobody gonna ban me for ma opinions!

I come to this site to get a more rounded view of issues going on. A lot of post you see here you would never see in the MSM or social media. Like everything I read though, I take it all with a gain of salt and verify/check everything before I repeat it.

Defiantly the best part of this site is the freedom to say whatever you like with out fear of a ban. People should have the right to shit on others, call them names and judge and for those others, to tell them all to fuck off. I was called all kinds of names and teased growing up and it made me a better person for it. Now I handle shit heads like its no ones business.

Saidit has to do something about people who are deliberate attacking the site in an attempt to disrupt it. For now I think a team of janitors could help clean up a lot of the obvious spam/bots. There should also be a clear charter/rules of what makes an acceptable post. It's tricky because you don't want to stifle people but at the same time you can't let bad actors overrun the site.

Perhaps even a verification system where you have to be a member for over a month + and have a certain amounts of credit/karma before your posts can reach the front page/all. Nothing too crazy but enough that a bot couldn't easily make it.

Free speech encouraged. No free speech made fun of.

What's going on with the weird comments in this post? Are we being attacked by bots?

I like being able to say what I think without being censored.

Cheers, love you guys and have enjoyed reading this thread. Thanks for being here. I appreciate you all.

My favorite thing about saidit is the free speech too. In a time of censorship, I'm glad we have info that can be hard or impossible to find on MSM.

I like that it looks and functions like old reddit before the stupid UX upgrade.

Why do you visit?

Because I mod a subreddit called s/debatealtright that fled from reddit and set up shop here. I would not be here if DAR wasn't here.

Why do you contribute to the site?

I don't contribute much. Mainly because there's very little traffic and there's no good way to share webm's and pictures. Which is insane considering it's 2024 and the tech and server space to host video and images isn't complicated or expensive.

Where do you think Saidit's strengths lie

I thought that it was free speech but it seems that I found similar restrictions to speech here. My subreddit was block from access to the main feed for year because are content was not considered good for promoting the site. Free speech is just a platitude the people offer you to come to their site. Seems like free speech only means you can say everything except for discussions about Jews and if you talk about any other topics like white genocide or killer vaccines you better not connect it to jews.

how do you think they can be leveraged for a better experience?

Saidit needs to first decide what free speech really means, then it needs to figure out a way to allow video and images because that's how people under 50 communicate online. You're a dinosaur if you don't host video and image or make it easy to link video and images.

I expressed some of my highlights in my poem When Bots can Post.

Saidit is more center-right. Reddit is far far far, no, extreme left. I hate that.

But even more than that, the reason I like Saidit is the silly rules on reddit that they remove posts for the most obscure type of rules. I absolutely hate that.

In-the-clouds

Free speech is valuable. Twitter and YouTube suspended my accounts but I have never been suspended here. When the big sites lifted the suspension, I was shadow-banned, so people no longer saw my content or wrote any comments. I felt like my posts there were isolated in a bubble. Here, though it is a much smaller website, the interaction is better. People take notice. Anyone can be heard and not drowned out in a sea of chatter. And how big does an audience actually need to be in order to be of value? If you could reach just one person with life-changing truth, isn't it worth it?

I came here when CringeAnarchy got banned on Reddit. That sub is dead here now as well, but i stuck around. I enjoy the personalities of the misfits and miscreants that congregate here. I've found in my life that the weirdos will always find a way to create community with one another, whether online or IRL.

Contrary to what no_u is saying elsewhere, I think a strength of this place is that most of the people here know that "far right" doesn't mean anything anymore, so it's lost its magical power to cow us into conformity.

For me, I'm what the Americans would call a political moderate. I used to be a card carrying leftist, and a Canadian leftist at that. But when my former home started getting crazy with the animosity towards identity groups, I noped outta there. As the saying goes, i didn't leave the left. The left left me. I suspect that a good number of others here feel the same way.

Anyhow, thanks Saidit. I appreciate the lot of you!

Saidit supports free speech better than other sites out there. It is not a liberal democrat controlled site that is woke and will censor the other political views.

NastyWetSmear

I am purely here for Sneako's regular posts demanding an Incel revolution and asking me what I would do if a man of a certain height did something to my wife/girlfriend. If I don't see one of those posts each month I start to question if I've finally been ensnared in some Matrix-esque alternate reality that doesn't have the functioning AI to generate the nonsense that only a human brain can produce.

I joined for s/TumblrInAction, which I had found just a few months before it was banned on Reddit. This was a good place to observe the collapse of the gender ideology narrative, while such discussions were getting censored to more and more outrageous extents on social media. Never looked at Reddit the same again after that. There are other interesting subs too, but I definitely don't buy into everything posted here lol.

Saidit appears to be living on borrowed time though, without adequate resources for maintenance. It would be nice to find a more robust Reddit-like free speech platform.

JoeyJoeJoe

I love that there's the occasional random meme or news story, like reddit, without the looming thought police. There are more than a few racist & homophobic dickheads, but even they make a valid point from time to time. It's a necessary counterweight to the extreme left woke bias of the mainstream & big tech. Thanks for existing.

MagicMike

Can talk about the realities of Scientific Racism without some leftist nut job troon canceling the thread and the poster.

For ex, Ohio is going to pay lazy low IQ KNEE GROWS to go to school, to harass and bully people with above room temperature IQ: “Ohio state lawmakers are proposing bipartisan legislation that would reward students for going to school to not just fight "chronic absenteeism," but also give students an incentive for showing up.”

Good topic and no troon mods.

I like it because it's a site where everyone can express their opinion! I like it because it's simple, it still uses the irc and rss feeds....the dream would be the possibility of replying to a comment with an email, making it similar to usenet

homosexual_blacklist

Yeah GREAT site... nah go fuck yourself.
