    Thank you, I see what you did there.

    My reddit account of 11+ years is closed. #deddit

    Do you have any insight on what reddit was like 11 years ago?

    It was pretty cool. I found interesting topics and interesting ideas. After a couple of years, Digg went to shit and the normies came over from Digg and reddit started going to shit. Reddit has become painfully left wing. /r/politics is a left wing shitshow. I say that as a libertarian. Reddit now has Tencent (China) as an investor and is actively trying to stamp out ideas that are not left. These people are hopelessly trapped in their bubble, but I'm finding alternate sites to go to. Saidit is a breath of fresh air. Voat.co was kind of a shitshow as well. On a rare occasion I would find something of value, but the majority of time it was shit.

    That's pretty sad, I heard that another old reddit user said that reddit used to be tolerant of differing views and if you said something contrary to the viewpoint of the sub, the worst that will happen is mass downvoting, instead of banning people, someone would try to prove you wrong, although I'm not sure if they were using reddit for 11 years. Also, I've heard that Digg was used before reddit, when did the switch happen?

    At least some popular posts are pro-Hong-Kong.

    I was just banned from /r/fitness for telling a MtF trans that there are no workouts that will make him look like a woman because he's a man. Bruh, I dunno why I feel bad for saying the truth.

    Thanks for welcoming me. :)

    Although I'll still will be using reddit for memes and satire, SaidIt will be a replacement for more serious topics.

    I also just joined a few days ago. Saidit.net isn't as populated as reddit but at least it's not a left wing echo chamber that censors everything

    [–]Tiwaking 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

    Welcome to Saidit!

    No, its not a left wing echo chamber. There are a few liberals here. There are a few conservatives here.

    In fact. There is a little bit of everything here.

    Welcome to Saidit!

    You will have to wait for 14 days to create a new Sub. You can ask someone nicely to make a Sub for you if you wish.

    [–]sus_[S] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

    Alright thanks, my suggestions is s/copypasta.

    [–]Tiwaking 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

    /u/RuckFeddit could you setup a copypasta sub please?

    [–]RuckFeddit 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

    I've used my powers of white privilege to create your sub.

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

    /u/sus_ There you go! The power of white privilege at its finest!

    welcome

    What are you unofficially glad about?

    [–]sus_[S] 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (3 children)

    I'm both officially and unofficially glad for joining this website.

    [–]Tom_Bombadil 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

    A logical impassibility. Cause it's official.

    [–]sus_[S] 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

    I guess it's just official then.

    [–]Tom_Bombadil 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    It's official!!!

    Me too, not sure what to make of some of the things I've read here, my knee jerk reaction is to disagree and wave it off as ramblings.

    But I'm glad to read it, consider it and give the OP's a fair chance at convincing me, at least they seem to be putting the effort in to say something. Comparing this to reddit, it's obvious now how much reddit filters what you see and what you see is 90% shite.
