I woke up to the top post on our old subreddit being some shitty Twitter screenshot from some dude who doesn't know how to spell who was sharing blatantly false information in another top post the other day. The third top post is another shitty Twitter screenshot from some rando who doesn't know how to spell.
While the sentiment of those tweets (questioning covid) is fine. It's just another example of the degradation of the content shared on the old subreddit. I hope this one can flourish and blossom into what /r/conspiracy used to be.
Thanks for making this, if nothing else, as a backup for when the hammer eventually comes down.
Wow didn't expect so much traction on this post haha, but appreciate the karma. Seems a lot of you are criticizing the "overnight" part of the post. Yeah I agree that it's been in decline for years (especially this year). My first thought this morning though was, "There's basically nothing useful on this subreddit anymore." At least during it's decline, you could still find nuggets of wisdom sorted by new or whatever, but the front page was covered with dumb tweets, baby wipes, and straight bullshit today. With the vaccine coming, seems like bots, propaganda, etc are all in overdrive right now. And I will say, I don't like Trump, BUT I don't like Biden either. I like to think my spirit is that of a true conspiracy theorist -- if you're in the White House, you're compromised. If there's one thing Trump accomplished, it's that he made a lot of the conspiracy theorists out there become partisan.

Hopefully you'll get to learn about all the voting fraud going on, since from what I've heard from the people in these threads that the they banned any mention of it over on r/conspiracy.
That's not true at all unless it's changed in the last 24 hours. There's been a ton of threads and posts about it over the past few weeks.
Oh, well I wasn't there so I have no idea what it was actually like.
