What’s the potential avenue for censorship? Who is in charge of content removal? Are there symbolic rules that will get people banned (racism, etc)? What sort of content is not allowed and why (r/jailbait was technically legal)

well the mods are listed on the side...I made sure to enable public mod logs in the settings.
As for rules, that will get sorted out once we fill up the team a bit more.
It all should be very free speech oriented.
Hey mate, some cunt took my Putin_Loves_cats username. Any chance of getting it back? Can confirm I am the real [OG] PLC over on Voat.
Yeah do that and I'll ban them...had to ban a few other impersonators too.
Thanks, and message sent! Glad y'all made this but I feel like I'm in the Harry Potter scene when we all have to verify we are really who we are to each other, lol.
What's up there putes?
Balto, It's been a while. I'm doing good how about you?
All considering, I'm still above ground so I can't complain much.
To whomever will end up moderating, here are some things to consider when figuring out how to moderate and what can be done to make discussion more seamless:
What has been most frustrating on the reddit conspiracy threads are the obvious r/politics, r/news, r/worldnews, r/tmor, etc. users that flood comment chains with their obvious gaslighting. On top of that, I don't even know how many interesting posts were never seen as a result of instant downvoting.
The shills were able to absolutely infiltrate r/conservative which is evident by the sheer number of shills who were able to take over "flaired" posts, which were intended to be conservatives only. So we know they are willing to put in the effort to infiltrate. I believe it's begun to some extent on TheDonald.win. Especially in the current time, we are looking to see if action is begging it's first steps but it is critically important to ensure those calls aren't coming from fake / shill accounts.
It would be nice for the sidebar to be a way to accumulate information about topics, almost in a way that is similar to building a legal case or an writing an adjudication philosophy paper. It's annoying to reiterate yourself week after week, month after month, to newbies or doubters so we tend to get lazy and dismiss legitimate questions. However, the dismissal of of legitimate questions asked by shill users is a huge time saver. Nothing is worse than writing up a lengthy explanation with supporting evidence for the shill to just dismiss it and begin the name calling, or busting out the "yikes", "lol", "lmao", etc.
I'm always a fan of a good discussion of ancient civilizations, the possibility of alien contact, advanced technology, etc., but it doesn't take priority when serious business is going down in real time. I'm pretty sick of seeing the same shill posts about "when is conspiracy going back to normal" or "since when has conspiracy been taken over by the alt-right" while receiving awards and massive upvotes.
It would be nice to know if the user I'm about to converse with on a political matter is a fan of "equality of opportunity" or "equality of outcome" along with "freedom > security" or "common good" > "good for me". That is, if someone is a diehard leftist there is pretty much zero chance of finding common ground and I'd like to be able to just avoid those conversations altogether, unless they want to a have a philosophical discussion about the value of the quoted phrases just listed.
I could go on but this is a good starting point. I'm open to discussing these in more detail if anyone wants to.
This is great stuff, we should have a sticky and flesh all of this out soon.
Let me know if I can help out
