Reddit (SJW/Corporate-Left), nor Voat (Libertarian/Alt-Right), nor Steemit (blogs for rewards). Not to be confused with the similar websites(SJW/Corporate-Left), nor(Libertarian/Alt-Right), nor(blogs for rewards).











SaidIt is an American Reddit-style news-aggregating ranking-forum website[11] started in 2017 for user members to post news, articles, videos, images, and stories. Registered members may vote on these submissions. The most popular items are presented in a perpetually updated "hot" list on the main page. Members who create "subreddits" or "subs" may moderate their topical categories. Within the "subs" members may contribute titled "posts" with text or a link (to a webpage, image, video, etc (now supporting SVGs, BitChute, PeerTube, and DTube )). Every "post" has a "comment" section where members may post comments and discuss things at length.[citation needed]

SaidIt has a self-declared "alt-moderate",[13] anti-extremist, nonpartisan bias and lean for uncensored anti-corruption news and content. For this reason SaidIt has become one of the safe havens for truth seekers, alt-historians, and conspirophiles in an increasingly globally thoughtpoliced state. The SaidIt community depends upon the administrator's radical transparency, users and moderators' open social behavior and forthrightness of each other. Unlike what some have described as the extremist left and right leaning intolerances dominating Reddit and Voat[citation needed] (and more extreme Raddle, Phuks.co, and Poal.co)[citation needed] forums with their issues of alleged censorship and shadowbanning, any such stain on SaidIt could be its death knell.[citation needed] To moderate this dilemma, SaidIt's core value, and basis for administration when necessary, is based on Paul Graham's Debate Pyramid, a disagreement hierarchy chart quantifying levels of discourse.[14][15][16][17][18] Free speech rights and all ideas, no matter how absurd or objectionable to the status quo, are maintained under this simple etiquette guide.

The SaidIt news aggregation platform aims to bring attention to under-reported or unreported news stories, whether intentionally suppressed or merely overlooked.[citation needed] In an interview with Ben Swann, Tin Foil Hat podcast host, Sam Tripoli, stated, "I've always been into conspiracy theories. I like to call them un-reported news."[19]

It's the censorship and intolerance of views that are really dangerous and disgusting, not so much the characteristics/values. The greatness of SaidIt thus far is that there is great value put on communicating clearly and respectfully, no matter what side of the fake fence we're sitting on. I think these are the main strengths of SaidIt: respect, clarity, and open-mindedness in an atmosphere of free speech.[20] ~ User:FormosaOolong

Origins

The seeds of discontent... "Reddit is fucked, I give up" (2017-08-29)[21]

Initially known as "Anti-Extremes" using the "AntiExtremes.com" domain, SaidIt began as an open source fork on GitHub under Reddit-AE, since changed to SaidIt.[22]

The first SaidIt post, "These people with watermelons ar" was on Sunday, 2017-09-10 at 00:23:51 UTC[23], but it looks like a test post with randomly generated comment snippets that make no sense from a lot of users not seen before.

The first official SaidIt post, "Welcome to AntiExtremes.com" was on Wednesday 2017-10-11, at 09:43:20 UTC.[24] As the title indicates, "SaidIt.net" began under a different name, as "AntiExtremes.com", because...

Description

Site

In the Reddit-style news aggregation format, the SaidIt forum has "subsaidit" categories in which "user" members may submit "posts" with a title (300 characters max) with a hyperlink or some extended text under which users may submit "comments".

Size and trends

User numbers

By April 4, 2018, SaidIt had surpassed 500 usernames created.[26] On January 12, 2019, SaidIt surpassed 3000 registered users - so over it's 15 month existence SaidIt averages 200 new users per month.[27] Early on March 19, 2019, SaidIt's /s/frontpage subsaidit indicated 4,584 subscribers. (Part of the sudden uptick was in part to Reddit's rampage of senseless censorship, including the popular subreddits "/r/piracy" and "/r/WPD (Watch People Die), Gore, and ImGoingToHellForThis" were banned among others.[28][29]

Saidit just hit the 4000 mark! www.saidit.net/s shows the most popular sub now has over 4000 users subscribed. ... That shows a pretty good rate of growth in the last couple months. At this rate the site will double in size about every 6 months![29] ~ magnora7, March 17, 2019

Four days later, "Saidit just hit 5000 user accounts!"[30] 7,500 was passed by April 25[31] and on May 3 it passed 8,000. On May 30, "We also just got our 10,000th user registration a few hours ago."[32]

User numbers and rankings

SaidIt.net comes up at #1 when Google searching for "SaidIt" or "Said It" since the start of May, 2019 and likely much earlier.[33]

January 3, 2020 indicated 23,709 subscribers constituted the /s/SaidIt community,[34] and Alexa Internet's ranking stated SaidIt.net had risen "in global internet traffic and engagement over the past 90 days" from #97,093 to #48,375, and became #15,754 in the United States, #8,983 in the United Kingdom, and #15,424 in Canada.[35]

The SimilarWeb statistics are even better, stating that SaidIt.net is #39,613 globally, #10,473 in the USA which is 55.35% of traffic while Canada is 7.28%, UK 4.93%, Saudi Arabia 4.65%, Australia 2.61% - as of January 12, 2020.[36]

April 17, 2020 indicated 29,211 subscribers constituted the /s/SaidIt community.[37] Alexa Internet's ranking indicates that SaidIt.net plateaued for a while at #45,974 up slightly from 90 days prior at #44,359 for global traffic, while #14,742 in the United States, #15,952 in India, and #4,939 in Nigeria - yet oddly no mention of the UK, Canada, nor Australia.[38] SimilarWeb states SaidIt.net is #36,894 globally, #4,272 for News and Media, #9,925 in the USA which is 57.93% of traffic while Canada is 6.94%, UK 3.74%, Australia 3.44%, and Netherlands 2.55%.[39]

We're ranked #9,621 in the US today and #43,950 globally. Saidit just keeps growing and growing!" [40] ~ magnora7, June 9, 2020

Not sure how you'd define "active member" exactly, but if we were to count all the usernames that have posted a comment or thread in the last month, I'd guess it's about 5,000 different members. I don't really have good metrics to measure that though, so that's just a guess. We get about 650 posts a day and 2200 comments a day, or so." [41] ~ magnora7, June 10, 2020

August 17, 2020 indicated 37,746 subscribers constituted the /s/SaidIt community.[42] Alexa Internet's ranking indicates that SaidIt.net plateaued seemingly artificially after crossing into the top #40,000 in global internet traffic (July 23 to August 17+ stuck between 38 and 38.5k), up since June 27 at #45,996, while #11,440 in the United States, #39,810 in India, and #9,683 in Morocco - yet oddly no mention of the UK, Canada, nor Australia.[43] SimilarWeb states SaidIt.net is #22,013 globally, #2,726 for News and Media, #7,305 in the USA which is 59.47% of traffic while UK is 7.78%, Canada 7.51%, Australia 3.46%, and Sweden 1.84%.[44]

Subsaidits

main article: SaidIt Subs Ending 2018

A SaidIt Subs Ending 2018 tabled list was compiled on January 2, 2019*. This rough tally* of all of the public Saidit subs has approximately 249 total subs, with 55 zero-post subs, 128 subs with between 1 and 19 posts, and 66 active subs with 20 or more posts. (* There were under two dozen new subs in December that were unfortunately overlooked.) This chart was created for posterity's sake, for statistical analysis and curiosity, as well as to develop a potential classification colour scheme for creating CSS coded "flair" elements on SaidIt.[49]

Content and presentation

SaidIt has a self-declared "alt-moderate",[13] anti-extremist, nonpartisan bias and lean for uncensored anti-corruption news and content aggregated socially. The SaidIt community depends upon the open transparency and forthrightness of the moderators and each other. Unlike what some have described as a snowflake SJW dominated Reddit[citation needed] and a racist Alt-Right leaning Voat[citation needed] and their issues of alleged censorship and shadowbanning, any such stain on SaidIt could be its death knell.[citation needed]

Freedom from censorship

"The internet considers censorship to be damage, and routes around it.", John Gilmore (activist), co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Cygnus Solutions - quoted by magnora7 2019-07-02 03:26:27am EST.[51][52]

Free speech

magnora7, founder and co-administrator, prefers that SaidIt's content bias be considered free speech news[citation needed] for anti-corruption[citation needed], anti-collusion[citation needed], and truth-seeking[53] rather than potentially pejorative labels or terms weaponized by the CIA and corporate media such as truthers, conspiracy theorists, and tinfoilhattery, whether remotely applicable or not. The full spectrum dominance of the globalist's corporatocracy is no small topic and exposing it is intentionally not easily definable to the "normie" public with one unbiased phrase. Some of SaidIt's alternative leaning free speech content may also be considered anti-establishment, counter-propaganda, and or alternative history / historical revisionism.[citation needed] Any topic is permitted no matter how taboo, and few things may get you censored or banned on SaidIt, such as debasing the discourse (name calling), selling drugs, weapons, or stolen goods, posting pornography (impossible to regulate), or artificially amplifying your voice with votes (with multiple fake accounts).

Taboo topics

Naturally, in this free speech forum, any topic, no matter how taboo, may be critically analysed and civilly discussed. The Debate Pyramid, a disagreement hierarchy chart, quantifies, qualifies, and regulates the civil discourse.[14][15][16][17][18]

"The box that comes up when you click 'report' on something is now relevant to the saidit rules and has a working link to the content rules for anyone to read. It now has an option to report "Dragging down discussion on the Pyramid of Debate". It just flags things for the mods and admins to look at, so don't hold back if you feel something doesn't fit in."

In addition to the non-controversial non-censored conventional topics easily found anywhere else, (such as Reddit, Voat, Wikipedia, Facebook, etc), SaidIt bravely defies the corporatocracy and their mind controlled masses to discuss such things as the Alt-Right, SJWs, and the left-right Hegelian dialectic, 5G, 9/11, 1984, activism, Agenda 21/Agenda 2030, ag-gag, agorism, alternative food, alternative health, alternative medicine, alternative media, alternative solutions, alternative technologies, anarchism, artificial intelligence, assassinations, atheism, authority, banksters, Big Pharma, bioengineering, BIS, black-ops, bread and circuses, censorship, charity fraud, CIA, the climate change scam, the Clinton Foundation, conspiratainment, conspirophiles, conspirituality, conspiretards, corporate crime, the corporatocracy, corrupt rigged justice system, covert operations, cryptocurrencies, cultural engineering, "cultural Marxism", cyber war, debt slavery, decentralization, the deep state, directed-energy weapons (DEWs), division and distraction, DIY, economic fallacies, esotericism, eugenics, false flags, the Federal Reserve, financial crime, the Five Eyes, foreign relations, freedom myths, full spectrum dominance, genocides, geoengineering (chemtrails), globalism, GMOs, the Green Party, hierarchy, hoaxes, Holocausts, esoteric Hollywood propaganda, hypnosis, the Illuminati, illusionism, infiltration, In-Q-Tel, intelligence agencies, the Internet Party, Laurel Canyon, Libertarians and the Libertarian Party, limited hangouts, Ludditism, Machiavellianism, Marxism, The Matrix, missing trillions, Mossad, military industrial complex, mind control, minimalism, "national interests", Natural Law, the New World Order, NGOs, NSA, occupy, off-grid living, open source solutions, Operation Mockingbird, organized crime, the Overton window, Palestine, the peace movement (or lack of it), the pedophocracy, the Phoenix Program, piracy, the Pirate Party, police corruption, the police state, police violence, presidential puppet crime families, prison industrial complex, privacy, authentic progressivism, propaganda, protests legit or engineered, psy-ops, radiation, red pill, scientism, secret agencies, secret space programs, secret weapons, security, sharing economy, sheepdogs, shills, The Singularity, social engineering, special operations, spy craft, state crime, state oppression, state terrorism, surveillance state, sustainability, the technocracy, The_Donald, totalitarianism, transparency, Trivium method, Truthers, US Israel relations, the Vatican, voluntarism, voting is a rigged joke, wage slavery, Wall Street, war crimes, War is a Racket, the Washington Consensus, Western Empire, whistleblowers, worker cooperatives, world history, and Zionism.[54]

Banned from Reddit

As intentionally insane social engineering of manufactured Western culture includes thought policing and hyper-politically corrected content, censorship runs rampant across the entire corporate social media landscape. Many subsaidits have identical or similar community or topical titles to older subreddits, censored or not. Banned Reddit feeds and communities continues to mount up and migrated. Most of them are welcome to find refuge on SaidIt. Some even get banned from SaidIt for going too far. The ongoing lists of banishment are at SaidIt.net/s/SaidIt/wiki/BannedFromReddit, including:

Banned From Reddit, Not On SaidIt, Yet

Banned From Reddit, Now On SaidIt

Banned From Reddit AND SaidIt

SaidIt Banned From SaidIt

This list is not even close to covering all the censorship on Reddit nor accurate regarding mirrored feeds. But it's a start of some kind of history to log some of the events for quick and easy reference.

Voting

Reddit features a dual up/down-vote inspired by the Slashdot voting system. Partly in tribute to Aaron Swartz,[15][55] SaidIt's co-admins, "d3rr" and "magnora7", modified the open source Reddit-fork code[22] to offer two positive voting options, "insightful" and/or "funny", to promote civil positivity over negativity.[26]

"An insightful vote gives 2 karma points, and a funny vote gives 1 point, so it's now possible to give a comment or OP 3 points in total, which will affect its "hot" ranking on /s/all."

Nine months later these were modified to "interesting" and/or "fun".[56]

By default the "front page" of SaidIt lands on "hot", the first category of posts beside "new", "insightful", "funny", "top", and a special one just for new "comments". The "insightful" and "funny" and "top" categories are ranked according to their vote points and also have sorting parameters to view posts from:

past hour

past 24 hours

past week

past month

past year

The "hot" category is determined by a special algorithm, custom modified for SaidIt to be 4x less sensitive than the default Reddit code.[57] While the open source code is public and you may look at the "hot" algorithm directly, [4][58] this article explains "How Reddit ranking algorithms work".[59]

Posted content (but not post titles), comments, and wiki pages utilize Markdown code, of a Reddit-variant slightly different than Markdown used on other sites like GitHub, to simply display content, links, bullets, tables, etc. It's not powerfully loaded with tools like MediaWiki, but is seamlessly integrated throughout the site and is more than adequate for most basic information sharing and hyperlinking.

For some of the more common issues, tips, tricks, and Markdown code formatting usages when sharing comment or wiki content, be sure to familiarize yourself with the much improved SaidIt.net/wiki/commenting. For another "complete list" of all formatting usages, you may read the Reddit Markdown Primer, or Comment Formatting, or visit RedditSecrets.com/reddit-formatting-help/.

Unlocked threads

Saidit threads never automatically lock.

After 6 months Reddit threads automatically lock preventing further votes or comments. "Saidit threads never automatically lock, regardless of how old they are."[60]

Opt-out subs

The opt-in sub subscription policy of Reddit has been rejected by SaidIt for a default all-in opt-out sub subscription policy for new users.[15]

"New users are auto-subscribed to all existing subs when the account is created because we have an opt-out subscription system, rather than Reddit's opt-in system."[60]

This is in part new thinking and because initially SaidIt had so few users that it was a convenience.[citation needed] For some reason they wish to soon abolish this all-in opt-out default in favour of a default admin-recommended list of selections (arrived at by a community discussion vote with all the limitations that may entail), further encouraging the chaotic centralized pooling in "popular" subs.[citation needed] If anything, the young SaidIt site has a perfect opportunity to embrace and expand upon their new approach to sub organization, despite the change to new users accustomed to Reddit's limitations.

RSS Feeds

SaidIt features 3 RSS feeds:[61][62]

https://saidit.net/.rss = what's hot

https://saidit.net/new/.rss = what posts are new

https://saidit.net/comments/.rss = what comments are new

Further still, specific content can be focused on. Examples:

A specific subsaidit feed: https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/.rss

A specific post feed: https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/bon/rss_for_saidit_a_good_idea/.rss

And even a specific comment's feed: https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/bon/rss_for_saidit_a_good_idea/ndh/.rss

It is possible to harvest a sort of SaidIt searchable archive, not in the classic Reddit-style format, but with these RSS threads on "New Posts" and "New Comments" to catch most of the content generated, though folks may edit and change their comments. The "Hot" thread also collects some voting and popularity statistics with the content. These feeds are searchable in online dedicated feed aggregators such as Feedly or Google News, Feeder (software) the RSS feed reader app for Android, a or in desktop apps like the dedicated RSSOwl or more diverse Thunderbird for email and feeds. Currently the SaidIt search function only applies to posted titles while the searches on DuckDuckGo and Google are abysmal. These RSS feeds may raise some privacy issues, but they are minor compared to concerns with decentralization.[citation needed]

Night mode

The administrators developed a night mode option,[63] made a little button,[64] then had a vote[citation needed] for an overwhelming response to make dark theme the default setting on SaidIt.

Mobile modes

SaidIt features 3 mobile page view formats for small & narrow screens:[15]

m.SaidIt.net - LARGE display

- LARGE display SaidIt.net/.compact - old minimal Reddit-style [65]

- old minimal Reddit-style SaidIt.net/s/SaidIt/.mobile?keep_extension=true - CAUTION: depreciated janky code. This is Reddit's first mobile bare-bones style in the old opensource code. This format is for oldskool geex and fans of interwebs history[66]

"Zen mode is in some apps [to] hide all the shit so you can concentrate."[66]

IRC chat

SaidIt features a live IRC chat box on the upper right of most pages that may also be viewed on a dedicated page via "chat in new tab" with additional chat features.[60][15] (Reddit adopted a chat around the same time.[67]) SaidIt uses an open source self-hosted IRC client, The Lounge (software).[68]

SaidIt.net Discord Chat avatar icon.

A "SaidIt.net Discord Chat" was created and announced by User:JasonCarswell[69] with an open invite https://discord.gg/XFUTv6X to join. Whether anyone actually uses it remains to be seen. There is potential that it may be bridged and linked to "The Lounge" IRC chat on SaidIt with something like MatterMost, but this may be a technical PITA (pain in the ass).

Gifting/sharing economy

"Saidit has no ads, but is supported entirely by user donations."[70] Read more at this page.[60]

"Saidit.net is paid for through the power of the community and crowdsourcing. We don't run advertisements, and the crowd is what drives the content, not the advertisers. We've done our homework to make smart and economically sustainable choices for hosting and licensing, and currently as a result it only costs a lean $47/mo to run the site. ... A smart growth design will hopefully keep saidit up and running for years to come at minimal cost for the community. If you'd like to help us with server costs for running SaidIt.net, we are proud to accept the cryptocurrencies listed below. Please be careful to use the correct address for the correct coin, as a mistake may cause the coins to be lost. If there's a particular cryptocurrency you wish we supported, let us know and we will try to add it.

On March 27, 2019, magnora7 announced:

"I'm happy to announce saidit is financially solvent for the first time since it began 16 months ago. The donations through patreon and cryptocurrencies are matching our total expenditures, so there is no more out-of-pocket loss for myself to run the site. It's actually community-funded, for real! This has been the dream since the beginning, and it's exciting to see it come to fruition like this. Thank you donors!"

Apps

After months of working out the kinks,[71] SaidIt released their own custom polished Android app on December 19, 2018.[72] Saidit announced an F-Droid release of their Android app on January 9, 2019. Similar to the Google Play app store, F-droid hosts only open-source apps. "This gives Android users a different way to download SaidIt's app, and another way to verify they only get code that is open-source."[73] SaidIt .net's official app is a forked port of the open source client, QuantumBadger's RedReader.[74]

The SaidIt Android app is available to download at F-Droid or GooglePlay, and the open-source code is available at RedReader on GitHub.

Features include:

Free and Open Source - no ads/tracking.

This app has the NonFreeNet Antifeature. " This Antifeature is applied to apps that promote or depend entirely on a non-Free network service. "

" Swipe posts and comments left and right to perform customizable actions.

Advanced cache management - automatically stores past versions of posts and comments.

Support for multiple accounts.

Two-column tablet mode.

Image precaching (optional).

Built in image viewer, and GIF player.

Support for imgur albums and gifv files.

Compression.

Night mode (i.e. a dark theme).

Translations for some languages.

The SaidIt Android app only displays the points. An interesting/insightful vote earns 2 points, a fun/funny vote earns 1 point, and both votes earns 3 points.[2]

Wikis

SaidIt General Information page with a Master Wiki List. Find all the active wikis on thepage with a Master Wiki List.

"Every sub has a wiki, and now editing it is easier than before."

Listed on the the main central SaidIt General Information and Welcome page, along with a new FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions), is the WIKI LIST, growing as new content is added. (For example the outdated features wish lists of ideas below is now developed on the SaidIt open wiki pages.)

The wiki is not powerfully loaded with tools like MediaWiki has, but the simple Markdown code used throughout the rest of the site and seamlessly integrated interface is more than adequate for most basic hyperlinked documents.

For some of the more common issues, tips, tricks, and Markdown code formatting usages when sharing comment or wiki content, be sure to familiarize yourself with the much improved SaidIt.net/wiki/commenting. For another "complete list" of all formatting usages, you may read the Reddit Markdown Primer, or Comment Formatting, or visit RedditSecrets.com/reddit-formatting-help/.

Media formats and expandos

Image expandos may be infinitely resized in posts and comments.[31]

Email

SaidIt has a functional email server, enabled in March of 2019. Registering with an email address is not required but is handy for password retrieval should SaidIt passwords be forgotten.

Future plans

Currently in development: A SaidIt iPhone app variant of Beam for Reddit on iOS.[75][76]

"A little sneak peek at our development roadmap in the short-term" :

Add a user preference option to set the user's home page to /s/subscribed instead of /home (10x more requested than all other features) Add a copy of "unsubscribe from all" button from user preferences, to the top of the sub management list /subs/mine RedReader: try to use saidit.net not oauth.saidit.net if requests using the subdomain, for more complete/unified traffic stats on [Alexa Internet], etc. (currently saidit app traffic is not counted by [Alexa Internet], and it makes up about half of saidit's traffic) Image resize in expando: allow expanding off page to view images very zoomed in Backend Operating System upgrade for longevity Make it so IRC chat allows for external connections

Features wish lists

SaidIt is perpetually improving it's functionality and ergonomics for better user experiences and a better tomorrow. The to-do wishlist of features that may potentially be developed are recorded on SaidIt.net/s/IdeasForSaidIt/wiki/, otherwise lost in time.

SaidIt features wish lists (discontinued) These lists are no longer updated but remain archived here as they were on 2019-03-03 when copy/pasted to SaidIt.net/s/IdeasForSaidIt/wiki/ to continue development. SaidIt wish list Organization: improved search to include comments

metatags and better classification of subs, posts, and comments

opt-in expanded notifications, beyond default-responses-only notify for all comments/responses in threads I've participated in notify for all comments/responses in post I've participated in notify for all posts in my subs notify for all posts in selected subs

better page sorting options (ie. hierarchy branch, newest comments, oldest comments, etc)

better history viewing beside just "next" (ie. "previous | next | pages: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ..., last | view 50 | view 100 | view ###)

ability for a poster to edit/rename/move a post (with a permanent redirecting link left behind)

ability for a poster to categorize a single post under multiple subs ability for another to request the poster to categorize a single post under other subs

SaidIt DecentralizeAllThings CSS Flair 2019-01-27. Themes: improved site-wide dark theme CSS customizable themes, and sub themes universal site-wide flair universal site-wide flair would be overwritten by sub flair theme and flair templates collected and saved on a wiki for quick easy common access and editing make all flair link to a common list of all items with that flair make multiple flair tags possible - like metatags or categories make all flair searchable - like metatags or categories

SVG and GIF images in addition to JPG and PNG

user only CSS themes applies to user overviews, messages, etc option for user to override all sub themes or only subs with universal default theme

banner images randomized from a selection gallery with the acceptance of the new SaidIt logo, anyone can make their own images with it with the new SaidIt logo, or without it, folks might submit their banner designs for voting and/or approval InfoGalactic may be a place to submit images to potentially be adopted into the SaidIt selected banner gallery

Posts: a secondary image or link source would be great so that you can specifically illustrate better than the default link could Voting: Saidit, what if we showed who voted on everything? (2019-02-01+)

to fix : when you vote for your own comment as funny, the funny number goes down

more than just two emoticon-voting classification options (Insightful/Interesting & Funny/Fun)

a "viewed/unviewed" or "read/unread" neutral non-vote marker so a person can keep tabs of what they've seen before or not Voting algorithm: It ranks "hot" & "top" feeds & sorts subsaidits. Is this algorithm public?

Can less hot feeds be calculated, perhaps weekly, monthly, and/or interactively, rather than just "Hot Today"?

[5] "The SaidIt voting algorithm ranks "hot" & "top" feeds & sorts subsaidits. Is this algorithm public? Can less hot feeds be calculated, perhaps weekly, monthly, and/or interactively, rather than just "Hot Today"? I miss many good posts, have trouble keeping up, & find some bloom later. Comments?" (2019-02-10) Subs: sub modes default all-in opt-out admin-recommended selections reset to none custom new sub auto-subscribe : on/off (default on) new sub notification/message : on/off

more subs per week (current max = 1) an increase from 1 to 2 or more or an increase every X amount of time, perhaps to a reasonable maximum or an increase every X points earned, perhaps to a reasonable maximum

multi-sub-cross-posting would be nice one post that could be shared (ie. be listed under "collusion", "conspiracy", "crime", and "USGovernment")

synonymous subs would be nice (ie. a post in "America" or "US" would automatically be relocated to the "USA" sub) this would require permissions when one mod wants to redirect to another mod's sub

"I had an idea for yet ANOTHER project today. If the folks on SaidIt could crowdsource draft weekly scripts of a high enough caliber about the news, etc. And if someone could provide a good voice and perhaps sound engineering - I could animate an old-style newsman at a desk with a screen over his shoulder with sourced imagery. "SAIDIT WEEKLY UPDATE" After a few episodes all the kinks should be worked out, including some automation, and with submissions with footage it should be pretty easy to smash out."

In The Lounge Chat, Vigte suggested, "What about a saidit podcast - every month or whatever, D3rr and Magnora interview someone from the community to shoot the shit. Even if it's like 15 minutes lol."[79]

Decentralization

SaidIt intends to embrace decentralization permanent web alternative solutions[citation needed] to increase resistance to authoritarian censorship from the corporatocracy and increase the power to the people with free and open access to information and counter-propaganda media.[citation needed] The topic is much discussed, often buried deep within conversations in the currently unsearchable comments.

Alternative solution options may include or reference these articles:

Administration

SaidIt's core value, and basis for administration when necessary, is based on the Debate Pyramid, a disagreement hierarchy chart quantifying levels of discourse from civilized to asshattery.[14][15][16][17][18] Free speech rights and all ideas, no matter how absurd or objectionable to the status quo, are maintained under this simple etiquette guide. Shitposting is frowned upon and will be addressed.[80]

To further keep it classy all pornography is forbidden. With ample online porn options it is unnecessary. This lessens the administration burden of verifying legal ages while discouraging anyone trying to sneak anything on the site to discredit it.[citation needed]

While any topic may be handled with care, sales of weapons, guns, drugs, and stolen goods or services are also forbidden on the SaidIt social media forum.[citation needed]

DDoS Attack

There have been several other attacks not listed here.

On June 1, 2019, around 11:17 EDT, SaidIt came back online after being down for about 7 hours. In the chat magnora7 and d3rr explained that, "Our DDoS software needed some tweaking but I think we might have it under control now finally," and "They're still attacking us at this very moment." "We knew it'd come someday, we were 95% prepared for it but just had to iron out the details now that it actually finally happened for real." Among the recently Banned from Reddit groups was the /s/OpieAndAnthony subsaidit formerly the /r/ona subreddit. "I think [the DDoS attack]'s from a group that doesn't like the Opie And Anthony people that migrated here - so they decided to DDoS all of SaidIt." More specifically, the far left individual or group "harass OnA because they accuse the OnA people of being too far right," meanwhile they're just apolitical, and the most annoying of the Opie And Anthony comedy fans are just a small handful of asstrolls who aren't funny themselves. "We were mostly ready for it, just didn't quite know how to do it. It went mostly well, TBH. Down longer than I wanted it to be, but at least it got resolved."[82][83] SaidIt.net now has a new IP.[84]

From June 10 to June 13, 2020, SaidIt was under such heavy DDoS attacks that it shut down for much of the 12th and 13th.[32]

Switzerland

SaidIt moved from the USA to a new server in Switzerland. "This will give our data even more security than it currently has, as there is no US or EU regulations in Switzerland, only Swiss ones, which are generally more protective. Which is why so many banks and data centers host their content in Switzerland."[85]

SaidIt "truther" projects

The SaidIt "truther projects" do not reflect the views of SaidIt, InfoGalactic, nor anyone, other than anyone who may express them along with their creator and main proponent, User:JasonCarswell. (SaidIt founder, magnora7, does not favour the "truther" term,[53] as it's been weaponized into a pejorative by the deep state and corporate media.) The projects are:

WikiNotate

WikiNotate (discontinued) User:wizzwizz4 and User:JasonCarswell discussed ways to do a decentralized Wikipedia overlay to share notes, extend the wiki functionality, represent other views beyond the limited mainstream corporate media propaganda, and to promote freedom of speech and ideas without censorship. wizzwizz4 started the open source WikiNotate project: https://github.com/wizzwizz4/wikinotate.[2] This project seems to be abandoned because: On March 15, 2019 they learned about Comment-Freely opensource software allowing commenting anywhere on the Internet, politically neutral, free to use by anyone in the same way WordPress blogging software can be used by anyone to create a diverse range of websites and services, via BitChute or completely independently of BitChute.

On March 16, 2019 they learned about Gab Dissenter, the Comment Section of the Internet - By the creators of Gab.ai - It is both a web application and an open source browser extension. Dissenter organizes conversations around individual URL's and creates a public square on them where anyone can leave a comment.[97]



Reaction

For the handfuls that have come across SaidIt, the reactions have been primarily positive with best wishes.[citation needed] With around 80-100 users and about as many guests (as of 2019-01-01) the IRC chat is off to a moderate start after a year and a couple months. The marketing is limited with magnora7 appearances on alternative media podcasts and promoting SaidIt on other censored forums.[citation needed]

The RogueWays YouTube channel hosts video chats among woke friends to review, breakdown, and discuss other truther channels and shows, including the magnora7 episode, "Chattin' Higherside S01E16: Magnora7" (2018-08-03).[magnora7 8]

Criticisms

SaidIt has inherited many of the systemic flaws that Reddit, Steemit, and countless other forums suffer from in regards to timely voting and exposure. Additional sub, post, and comment threads may certainly benefit from more than default responses-only notifications and/or more than just two emoticon-voting options, but these can't fix all of these issues.[49]

SaidIt has a reasonable two week delay before new users may create a sub, and there after users may only create one sub per week.[15] Whether this is a default setting or a policy reflecting old Reddit opt-in habits, as of January 2019 this is very problematic considering the limited options of subs to post under (there isn't even a "USA" or "American" sub) and the overwhelming number of undisciplined unorganized posts crowding common subs while others remain empty without expiry. Further complicating access to specific information the limited search engine can only search the titles of the posts relegating all content comments lost to time and vague recollections. Further still, SaidIt has no metatags nor multi-sub-cross-posting abilities (ie. symbolic links), though it does allow just one flair per post for descriptive but unsearchable purposes. Setting up CSS flairs is obscenely difficult and notoriously finicky.[49]

One may wonder how Reddit ever become popular with all this chaos, yet former Reddit users seem accustomed to the Reddit-like opt-in policy of only following a dozen subs - yet SaidIt is all-in opt-out by default due to new thinking as initially SaidIt had fewer users. For some reason they wish to soon abolish this all-in opt-out default in favour of a default admin-recommended list of selections (arrived at by a community discussion vote with all the limitations that may entail), further encouraging the chaotic centralized pooling in "popular" subs. If anything, the young SaidIt site has a perfect opportunity to to embrace and expand upon their new approach to sub organization, despite the change to new users accustomed to Reddit's limitations. The administrators fears of rampant sub mayhem may have some foundations in logic, yet there is already unorganized mayhem in the popular subs, and this fear seems unfounded. I suspect they also fear alienating new users familiar with Reddit and "how it may look" (like a ghost town) if there are an abundance of nearly empty subs, as if that's any measure for quality. They generally prefer a hands-off approach and let the auto restrictions dictate how subs are relegated rather than find a more moderated medium, or even expiry dates on empty subs to use them or lose them. But the admins aren't even interested in tidying up the subs (ie. removing old empty subs or fixing capitalization on proper nouns). Perhaps they're lazy/busy, trapped in a Reddit mindset, or the code is an insurmountable obstacle.[49]

SaidIt does not embed emoticons, thumbnails, media, nor images in the comments, but links are common. Depending on the sub moderator settings, very simplistic "wiki"s may exist, but really it's more akin to a shared comment text document in simple markdown code, without the voting stuff. There are no user profile pages.[49]

Controversies

Short version: None so far.[citation needed]

Long version: SaidIt has a self-declared bias and lean for uncensored anti-corruption news and content aggregated socially. The SaidIt community depends upon the open transparency and forthrightness of the moderators and each other. Unlike the snowflake SJW dominated Reddit and the racist Alt-Right Voat and their issues of alleged censorship and shadowbanning, any such stain on SaidIt could be its death knell. Despite building trust over time and in words and deeds, the skeptics of SaidIt will critically assess any accusations or allegations against SaidIt, the community, its members, and/or its management, on a case by case basis. Thus far there are no criticisms nor controversies to speak of.[citation needed]

On SaidIt there's no shortage of dramatic outbreaks with natural and artificial tensions among the mostly anonymous users. While one historically accurate summary claims to be "Saidits First Documented Drama - 大下雪", it most certainly is not the first.[citation needed]
