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

[–]Pis-dur 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

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 :)

Hopefully more and more people will slowly switch out of this evil tool. I did it few years ago and I found out I maintain stronger relations with my closest friends. When I was on Facebook we were chatting and we could see everything happening in each others life, so didn't need so much interaction. Nowadays I see that we see each other more often, due to this we have better relations, help each other more often, etc.
