Until enough people decide that keeping their kids brains safe from exploitation and themselves out of the dopamine-hit revolving door, it's just going to keep going.

Are subscriber numbers artificially pumped up? by [deleted] in SaidIt

Maybe auto-unsub accounts that don't look at or post to a sub over a certain length of time. 1 month? 3 months? or..?

Reposting here a wonderful LGBTQIA+WTF flag that I edited. by [deleted] in RightWingLGBT

I like all the changes to the original gay/lesbian pride rainbow flag, because they mark what isn't us and never really was. The "queer" and "left" ideologies keep trying to make us "better" by reinventing and then erasing who we are in the name of "diversity". Let's keep our original flag, just for us. They will never be able to stand it.

Quite often when I try to load anything from this article's site, it comes up "403 Forbidden". The only site I ever get this one - and again, not every time. Weird.

AskSaidit: Do you use browser zoom/magnification to view saidit? And if so, what percentage? by magnora7 in AskSaidIt

I read Saidit on a 12.5" 1366x768 laptop monitor sometimes, and sometimes on a 24" IP monitor. I think it looks fine on both, but I will say that all over the net (and in App Suites, and more) I am constantly rolling my browser zoom up and down via CNTL+MouseWheel and have been for a few years now whenever something seems too small. I rolled the 12.5" monitor to 140% and that seemed way too big to me.

Also, I'm not sure how Saidit looks "outdated"? Again, I enjoy the interface. It's simple, doesn't run over the top of the user, and gets the job done.
