Yeah. I recall D3rr lamenting that the successes of new far right websites 3 or 4 years ago - after they were banned by Reddit - drew users away from Saidit. Magnora and D3rr had seen before that Saidit's usefulness as a place for Redidtors who were sick of mod abuse at Reddit. Magnora said back then that he did not expect Saidit to become far right, as he witnessed that happening 3 years ago. He had that discussion on Reddit. One response from a Redditor to Magnora 3+ years ago, when he invited them to Saidit, the Reddit alternative, was: "those schizo dumbasses"? Saidit can do much better to improve its reputation, especially if assholes can be dealt with. But I don't know if that will ever happen. I think there are only 3 or 4 users here who are somewhat left of center, only 2 of which are here almost daily or every other day. I agree with your post because I've witnessed the many reasons Saiditors leave Saidit, and the #1 cause is that there are some incredibly dumb and mean responses from some of the users, and the #2 cause might be the lack of activity, discussion and upvoting. One would perhaps think that political opinion drives users away, and perhaps it does, but everyone here seems to like to argue about politics, even if they get emotional or angry about it. So I don't see that as a primary problem. Saiditors are often identifying 'us' as a far right conspiracy website and telling anyone who is not like that to 'go back to Reddit'. This is of course another dumb aspect of Saidit. I think it's good for 'us' to take stock in what's happening here periodically and I thus appreciate you 'asking Saidit' fort their views.
