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...
Q is a conspiracy though, so it does belong here
I'm not saying that it doesnt, just that that's where I would draw the line if people didn't want it here.
Clearly I'm not anti Q. I'm not really even pro Q. Its just another topic about skepticism in our everyday lives like all the other conspiracies.
So once q posts are banned, what's the next topic you would ban
Once again, I wouldn't ban anything. Q stuff is a little different since there's already a dot win for it. I imagine the community here will either reject it or keep it with voting.
And by Q stuff, I don't mean deepstate shenanigans and all of whats currently going on. That can live in both places. I just mean that we wouldn't sticky Q drops or encourage Q memes.
Because you don't like them?
Q proselytizing is probably a joykill, but most conspiracy theories sound outrageous at first. Banning a certain denomination is a mistake for any conspiracy forum. What's more: many conspiracy contribution are fun to read even if you are not into it. For yours truly, Q is a prime example. Best-thought-out shit ever, kudos to the folks who have come up with that. Flat-earthers might cause optics problems for the casual normie, but me, for example, can coexist with flat-earthers, too.
