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.

In general, yes but there's definitely leftist condescension and gaslighting in response to wrong-think.

Absolutely not. There are two centrists on Saidit these days, and literally every other user is far right. There is no condescension or gaslighting. I often get hostile responses and sometimes respond in the same way. Those are normal responses to hostility. The other centrist is incredibly nice to everyone. Sometimes I'm also nice, before I've had my morning coffee.

To Zapped's point: I'm here to see how Saiditors are responding to far right propaganda. There are several subreddits that also reveal similar information, but I've come to know many Saiditors - though virtually - and I am curious about your specific reactions. I also like to argue, but don't take it personally.

I'm afraid I'm going to disagree with this.
