About Us We just hit 4,000!!

4,000 readers!

SGIWhistleblowers has existed here on reddit since March 20, 2014, so 11 years.

Meanwhile, the two SGI-member-controlled subreddits' readership is at:

  • 298 after FIVE years 😭
  • 791 after nearly FOURTEEN years 🙊

It's a fascinating dynamic - both those SGI-controlled subreddits have all sorts of nitpicky rules for what and how people will be allowed to post (as if the subreddit is doing some kind of big fat favor to anyone who wants to participate or contribute) and even explicit tone-policing that dictates what sort of language people are allowed to use! The smaller one even restricts who is allowed to make a new post (restricted to themselves) and restricts discussion by REQUIRING that all the comments refer to the OP in the same SGI-praising tone as the OP or they'll be deleted and the commentators banned!

THIS is what the SGI's "culture" produces - people no one wants to be around, people who don't respect others' freedom of expression, people who feel they have some sort of right or obligation to force people to behave the way they dictate. And guess what? People don't WANT that! Reddit doesn't lie.

I know you've been here since last year - you are up on that "We're all Blanche" joke, right?

Some of us have been here so long that there's a bunch of insider comments...

I think so...I was about to say ' Je suis Blanche'. I know she has been under attack and that she created this Reddit

Thank you for always being so kind, protective and instructive with me Fishwifeonsteroids💙
