I wanted to find a place where UI and UX encourages discussion, not memes and shitposting. alternativeto.net helped me.

I'd like to remind everyone there is a "block user" and a "block sub" button under every post and every comment. Please use them! You can unblock users by clicking the "blocked" tab on the preferences page, or unblock subs by going to that sub directly and hitting "unblock sub" under any post there. by magnora7 in SaidIt

Exactly. I would advise not to block anybody. Blocking people makes a person getting into his own echo chamber, which should not be how we use the Internet. Instead, we should report users to the moderators if they spread spam or break the rules of a sub.
(dammit, I've repeated it 3 times in this post, I feel like a spammer now -.- )

Is SaidIt just a platform for nutjobs and conservatives or is it something more? by [deleted] in AskSaidIt

Reddit has gone corporate and closed source. It's a flashy shin website full of memes and other bullshit. That's why I left it.
I chose Saidit because of UI, which encourages discussions instead of shitposting, and Saidit is an open source software, not acknowledged part of any corporation.
I think that most saidittors are conservative and probably were banned from reddit, so there may be overrepresentation of them here. However remember that this portal is what it's users create it. Feel encouraged to post articles and text posts :)

Look at the spam in e.g. s/technology. There are bots, I'm reporting their spam and guess what - they still exist.

Does using Invidous solve that tracking problem?

Exactly, keep posting, be consistent in it and be patient.

Exactly, finally people can do what they want, if they want children they make them, if not - they don't.
