Any quality posts are welcome.
On saidit you can see multiple sides of a conflict, unlike reddit.
And different scientific viewpoints, unlike reddit.

Discussions are usually trolls and shills.
So if you can ignore those, or can laugh about them, this is a good place.

Normally

On saidit you can see multiple sides of a conflict, unlike reddit.

When there is a comment by one of the three users who disagree with the fascists.

And different scientific viewpoints, unlike reddit.

You mean: anti-science, unlike the real world

Discussions are usually trolls and shills.

This an anti-Saidit comment. The only shills here are the South Asian spammers selling bone conducting earphones. Absolutely no other user here is paid to be here or is here as part of their job. Those who claim this have incredibly inflated notions of themselves (that the only ones disagreeing with them must be paid to do so). Saidit is not profitable for shills, whereas Reddit is FAMOUS for the international shills (don't get me started on that). One of the very few good qualities of Saidit is that it's shill-free (with the exception of spammers). I'd also argue that there is more trolling on Reddit by the kiddos who'd rather do pun jokes than discuss the topics. (I can't believe I have to defend Saidit. I need a shrink.)

So if you can ignore those, or can laugh about them, this is a good place.

You'll learn /u/AngelaMagic who the sincere users are, as there are only 30 or 40 regular users, if that, and most of them aren't normally trolling.

That's exactly what a shill would say. It's proven and common knowlege that governments operate bot farms and pay shills to spout whatever nonsense would seem to confuse and dismay anyone with half a brain.

Thank you for proving my point, IDIOT.

(Completely missing the obvious point that you insult yourself when you claim there are shills at a website of only 20 active morons, you ridiculously pathetic muppet.)

It's also true and common knowledge that companies put up billboards to advertise their products.

Paying shills to try to influence the political views of Saidit users would be like sticking up a billboard in Antarctica.

Occam's razor - the alternative is that they are people wasting an inordinate amount of time spouting inane drivel to no one who cares. To imagine that someone would be such a pathetic loser that they would do that for free seems way more unrealistic.

Indeed, I forgot spammers as a category.

Here is a finer breakdown: The Gentleperson's Guide To Forum Spies

[–]cunninglingus 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

An interesting list, well-written. I've learned about some of that here at Saidit. There aren't any spies here, none that I've seen or would expect to see. But various users trolled some of the threads.

I got permbanned on Reddit without insulting or threatening anyone but I simply said that a transwoman is not a woman.

[–]Adventurous_Ad6212 2 insightful - 8 fun2 insightful - 7 fun3 insightful - 8 fun -  (0 children)

I got banned for fighting for trans empowerment. People didn’t like me saying we need to secure the exsistance of the queer race and a future for trans babies

Reddit doesn't like objective facts.

[–]AngelaMagic[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Trans women are women

[–]CheeseWizard 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

That's the beauty, you can say that, or you can say they are not. On Reddit you can only say one of these things, which is why it is disappointing.
Example: Suing people for misgendering is ridiculous, in a world in which trans are still beaten to death, fighting speech and microaggressions you made up is a slap to the face of who needs help the most, and only a first world country would bring something as out of touch.

[–]ceck 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Reddit seems to be full of people who are needlessly unpleasant to me. I try not to pay attention to them. Edit: Reddit was pretty decent ten years ago but it has gone steadily downhill since Aaron Schwartz died.

I am not familiar with Discord. I did some voice-chat TRPG gaming on Discord for the "Cyberpunk RED" version of Cyberpunk 2020. Also I have done voice chat with people I know on Discord once or twice. As far as I can tell, Discord is not a discussion forum, it is mostly a voice chat service.

Saidit seems to be an ordinary discussion forum of the sort reddit used to be ten years ago.

[–]ActuallyNot 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (15 children)

Extreme racism and transphobia aren't just accepted here, they're the norm. As is climate science denial, supporting the invasion and annexation of neighbouring countries, so long as it's Russia.

It's a lot more like 4chan 10 years ago than Reddit 10 years ago. But with fewer people posting.

So to engage here, you need to block everyone except half a dozen reasonable people, or have an interest in what motivates people to support or do genuine evil, in the sense of spending effort to make someone else's life worse.

[–]cunninglingus 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Agreed on all points, though my approach has not been to block anyone. I just try to remember the users I don't wish to respond to. Some of the worst users try to draw me into a debate that's nothing more than them trolling. /u/AngelaMagic , I'd say the same as ActuallyNot, though with the addition that you can write anything you want, as long as it's not promoting murder or linking to pornography (though mods rarely bother to notice these days). Secondly, there are occasional opportunities to see here what users think of their favorite right-wing topics, or propaganda, or misinformation. You'd have to be prepared to get responses that are really dumb and mean, which are often the norm, but Saidit is also a window onto the latest right-wing propaganda that one can discuss openly. (EG. /r/worldnews would ban anti-Israel comments, though /r/worldnewsvideo allows an honest approach to the genocide of Palestinians, and Saidit is somewhat mixed on this topic.) Feel free to return an insult if you wish. There is also a 'chat' channel on the right side where there are occasional discussions in the #subscribed channel. It's sometimes active in the evenings. I'm here to learn about the latest in right-wing brainwashing, and sometimes to argue about politics, though I am more of a centrist. I was banned for recommending that Tucker Carlson should be slowly tortured to death, and returned with a different username (ban evasion is also a bannable offense, but admins aren't very concerned). TL:DR I recommend Saidit as a place to occasionally learn what the right-wingers are up to, though you may want to avoid some of the hostility and stupidity that comes with the far right agenda of spreading lies. [edit: SMCAB is perhaps the worst user on Saidit; an example of why Redditors have called Saidit a place of 'schizo dumbasses'. SMCAB is as hostile as he is incredibly stupid; to be avoided.]

    It's funny how you actually hate everyone here and unironically use words like "transphobia" but still prefer this site over your like-minded allies over on Reddit. I haven't insulted you or anything, but feel free to block me, if you wish.

    [–]ActuallyNot 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

    What's Ironic about the word "transphobia"?


    You'll need to troll harder than merely insulting me if you want a block.

    [–]Mcheetah 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

    So objective reality is "trolling" now?

    Please, go back to Reddit. Seriously; get the fuck out of here.

    [–]ActuallyNot 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    No. Objective reality isn't trolling.

    Oh, diddums. Did the nasty members of the public comment in a public forum? You poor wee boy or girl: cope harder. Perhaps you should try writing on your bathroom wall instead, where your opinions will be safer?

    I notice you still don't say what's ironic about the word "transphobia".

      [–]Clown_Chan 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

      Saidit was never much popular or active in the first place.

      But then there was this massive permaban wave of right wing, incel and gender critical communities on Reddit and many users from those banned subs came here for a short while. It made Saidit much more active and alive than usual, many new subs were created. But then those former Reddit users created their own websites and forums, and migrated once again, leaving Saidit behind.

      And so Saidit become once again obscure and empty.

      Nothing wrong with asking. I just want opinions and thoughts

      [–]SMCAB 3 insightful - 5 fun3 insightful - 4 fun4 insightful - 5 fun -  (0 children)

      Okay. I guess it depends on how you see the world and what your butthurt level when you don't agree is.

      It depends on if you truly know what words mean.

      If you think racism and race realism are the same thing, you won't like it here, for example.

      If you see the world for how you wish it to be, instead of how it works, than you may not like it here.

      What I do know is, you can say pretty much whatever you want, and if words hurt your feelings, you may not like it here.

      If you're looking for pseudo intellectuals that don't workout and spend their time "googling" their answers to you from their benevolent overlords, we have a couple of those too.

      [–]ActuallyNot 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

      He means that the racism, anti-science, pro-putin, anti-woman, and anti-LGBT positions that are good enough for saidit, would disgust someone who's not used to it.

      (And should someone who is, but it's mostly trolls here, who get off on that kind of thing).

      [–]ActuallyNot 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

      There's no evidence for using racial slurs. The trolls here just do it so that they can do it again when they get called on it, which gives them the attention they are pathetically trolling for.

      try saying anything deemed racial or sexist even when simply relating what others said will get you banned on censor-nazi minded reddit

      say anything centrist on the lefty run political groups and you get banned

      I will say don't bother arguing with people who ask you to cite your sources on multiple points. Ask them to cite their sources instead. Users like ActuallyNot, Site_rly_sux, and cunninglingus are here just to troll and waste your time, and would never actually concede a point, no matter how brain-dead their position is.

      Saidit is a free speech alternative to the absolute extreme-left, echo-chamber hellhole that is Reddit. If you can't handle disagreement, a few edgelords dropping the N-word or casual racism, then you don't belong here and should go back to one of the other hyper-sanitized Safe Space Hugboxes of the internet. I don't agree with most of the racism or unironic sexism here, but being in my 30s, I remember when the internet was actually a free speech platform and calling someone a 'faggot' for being obnoxious wouldn't get you permabanned and have PayPal put you on their blacklist.

      So if you can handle an actual free speech platform, then you're welcome here. If you're one of those "everything is offensive to me" types, then leave now. The only thing I'm sick of is those trying to word-police others and insult/shame/dox/report/flag/censor them like they do on Reddit. Please leave that "Istaphobe reporting" shit back on Reddit.

      Maybe a few years ago it was, but it's effectively a dead site now. Of the very few active users, the majority are either progressive trolls or schizophrenic flat earth tier nut jobs. Also the remaining admin doesn't know how to deal with spam properly so if you're on a page for more than a minute or two you have to refresh before you can comment.

      Ehh, it's kinda dead here, I'm afraid. Also, many subs here are not active anymore. Heck, I don't even know if we even still have any mods or admin here, lol

      It's kinda obscure and abandoned site these days but still better than Preddit, I guess.

      Maybe you can try Twitter? Majority of the woketards evacuated from there and it became usable for normal people again.
