before settling on lemmy, i checked out “reddit alternatives” and one of them was saidit. i may make an account if it’s good, but i want to know if saidit.net is any good, what it’s like, etc.

    Years back when I checked it out it was full of people into conspiracy theories and general bigotry. Interestingly they weren’t specifically right-wing at the time and in fact when the site was originally started it was named something like antiextremes as a reference to not wanting to be left or right leaning.

    But you know, over time it just kind of filled up with the types of people that typically got banned on mainstream sites like Reddit. You’ll get an idea of how people in general are there by reading through the posts and comments there.
