Rules: Do we need them? Maybe just the basics:
No calls to or threats of physical violence?
No doxxing (actual doxxing like posting home addresses not just discussing social media etc)?
No spam, no pornography (unless specifically conspiracy-related ie Hunter Biden)?
Mods: u/trinadin is coming back on board, but it would be nice to have one more conspiracy-oriented mod and one more design/CSS oriented mod. I don't think we need any more than that. I've already had several folks reach out and maybe this thread would be a good opportunity to throw your hat in the ring.
Priority will be given to those with .win modding experience and/or those NOT on reddit (I'm starting to spend more of my time here anyway).
CSS: We need an update...in the beginning I almost waited to launch this until the CSS looked better, but time was of the essence so we went with what we have now. It was always meant to be only temporary! Let's beef it up. Design isn't really my thing, but I appreciate and recognize how important it is to look sleek, ESPECIALLY when you're presenting controversial and conspiratorial content.
On another note, it seems crucial to limit downvoting to accounts with a certain karma threshold. What should that threshold be? Link and comment karma? What subreddits use this, and what are their thresholds? Is it even possible to implement here?
Other than these drive-by downvoters, this place has been RAD so far.
And something tells me this is only the beginning...
It would be nice to have some community standards around how we treat each other. I shouldn't have to put up with shit like this just because someone can't handle an adult discussion about statistics.
Edit: I wasn't clear where these were quoted from, but they're from this site. The author is major contributer here: https://conspiracies.win/u/deinstantiator/
You don't deserve death threats, but most of your posts/comments are pro-vaccine, anti-this site, and a few are blatant attempts to emotionally manipulate other users. Why did you think that would be popular on a conspiracy community?
I don't care if my opinions are popular, I'm here to discuss conspiracies. I don't see anything wrong with the first two quotes, particularly in the context of the post I made them on. And the latter was literally in response to all the death wishes...
What exactly is your point? That I'm not a stereotypical conspiracy theorist?
My point was when you're being emotionally manipulative and authoritarian (do this thing or else you are a grandma murderer), you should be a little slower to throw out the victim card.
Those first two comments are in response to a post titled
Which included the text

I don't think I was being emotionally manipulative, I think I was directly responding to the content of OP's post.
Thanks for your effort, anon.
Fit in or gtfo.
Supportive messages.
is that from reddit? i thought reddit was all about a safe space banning threats of violence
Is what from reddit? I'm not on reddit, I was never a part of the conspiracy reddit.
Then you don't know how unhelpful your suggestions are. What you are proposing is exactly what made reddit shit. If you are going on like that, you must tolerate the accusation of being a weaponized crybaby, a plant sent by the left to destroy alt-communities like this budding one.
oh. it looks like exactly the type of thing i see there sorry.
you weren't specific in where you saw those posts
Oh sorry, will edit to clarify.
Slippery slope. It helps to get used to insults and death threats. Ever heard of sticks and stones and their contrast to words? Don't just grow up, man up!
Wow I really touched a nerve, huh? You just commented like 10 times on this single thread.
Wow that’s completely unacceptable, even if you think someone is a shill, if you’re going to bother replying to them atleast prove them wrong not right. I disagree with a lot of what you’ve posted but you seem to be posting mostly in good faith. We don’t need animalistic threats to prove a point.
Edit: actually, reading the convo, you’re both acting like idiots, you’re clearly not debating in good faith with that guy.
You really think that my comments are anywhere remotely comparable to his?
This is a major poster here, btw, a real stand-up member of the community. https://conspiracies.win/u/deinstantiator/
I can't see anything wrong with those posts.
His first couple responses are perfectly reasonable and you ignore them completely to bitch about the site and bait him into an over response. Luckily this isn’t Reddit however so no one can slink off to an admin and accuse another of hate speech.
Your own data refers to “total flu and pneumonia deaths” but your comment refers to all cause mortality. I think you should find a better link or attempt to actively lay out the data and it’s source in some kind of graphic. Like he said your shitty link and napkin math is proof of nothing.
Dude, check the link. It is TOTAL DEATHS ALL CAUSES. I know the link says "flu" in it, but if you actually click on it and check the data it is TOTAL DEATHS ALL CAUSES.
I did not ignore him, I responded to his claims, and when I asked for further clarification... then came the death threats.
I like how quickly you changed your mind and decided death wishes like this are an appropriate response.
Icing on the cake is that you were too lazy to even click the link before accusing me of misrepresenting the data.
I'm really impressed with this community so far.
