Yeah, unfortunately the site as a whole got taken over by some of the worst parts of the internet almost as soon as Saidit opened. That’s what you get when you market yourself as a free speech platform—people always want to push the limits, be as offensive as possible, see what they can get away with.
The WOTB Saidit is pretty much at parity with what you’d see at r/WayOfTheBern, though. Most of the mods have moved over, and they’re running their Saidit the same way they ran their sub: i.e., You can express whatever opinion you like, but if you prove to be a horrible troll repeatedly, you’ll have to pay the turtle tax.
Their Saidit is currently being brigaded by idiots who don’t know what the turtle tax is, which is why it may look pretty shitty right now.
Anyway I’m hoping they all give lemmy a shot, as I think the Fediverse with its inherent protections against corporate tyranny is right in line with WOTB’s philosophy.

Thanks for setting this up!
You’re welcome! Thanks for giving lemmy a chance.
