OP will be accused of being my alt and then targeted and harassed by TMOR et al. for even writing this post. Shows you just how far reddit has fallen, including /r/conspiracy.
I spent a decade devoted to that community, and I was extremely passionate about it.
The decline of the sub since my absence has been as dramatic as it was predictable. There's a reason they came for me...I banned them and their alts.
I was the only mod holding the discourse together, and it was a full time job to do so. They've swarmed the sub since my ousting.
I'm willing to wager that internal reddit comms will show admins planned my ousting in advance. Would love to have a whistleblower come forward with how that all went down.
I'd say it's ludicrous they could remove and suspend the head mod of a 1 million+ sub for "inciting violence" without even citing an example, but they literally did the same thing to the POTUS on twitter 24 hours later, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Here's what /r/conspiracy loses without me (I don't think the remaining mods are motivated to continue these):
monthly transparency reports documenting removals from admins
featured Round Table discussions
featured Documentaries
AMA arrangements
a mod who also produces OC
a tireless defender of conspiracy theories and theorists.
The bad actors always said I was "impartial" and more lenient towards conspiracy theorists in my moderation.
no fucking duh.
When the rest of that shithole reddit turned into an anti-conspiracy echo chamber, what ELSE was I supposed to do? Let /r/conspiracy fall to the same fate?
Towards the end I started to feel like I was the only one preventing the sub from being comsumed by the rest of reddit, and it's looking like I might be right.
The only positive is that my removal actually may have saved the sub...a Senator literally cited "reddit conspiracies" as being responsible for the unrest on the 6th...if reddit inc didn't do SOMETHING (ie removing a "problematic" head mod of /r/conspiracy) it would've looked really bad. It was either quarantine/ban the sub, or remove me, and since I was so vocal about the election fraud and a CLEAR thorn in their side, it was probably a no-brainer for the admins.
Maybe the funniest thing is watching TMOR etc frantically keep looking for my "alts" and accusing every other account of being one LOL.
Trust me, the irony isn't lost on me as I watch the supposedly rabid anti-conspiracy theorists turn into that IASIP Charlie meme.
Hopefully, once the propaganda dust settles, my sincere and passionate efforts over the years towards that place will be better understood.
They really don't like you, lol.
Know that some of us both recognize and respect your efforts, and we have for years. Keep fighting the good fight.
You kept that subreddit real and prevented it from overrun by MSM endorsed conspiracies like Russia collusion that had no basis.
The majority of Reddit, whose masses are brainwashed with TDS, will not thank you and will cheer your expulsion.
But we the people that have seen through the propaganda thank you for what you’ve done. But on the Internet we’re a small minority in these dark times. The Globalist propaganda is strong and has been building to where it is now for over a century.
So thank you. Let’s continue to grow something good here.
Thank you for all of those great years. That place rocked 2012-2016ish.
OP is right. Conspiracy has been a pablum filled snooze fest since they gave you the boot.
Also: The claim that I banned "thousands of people" for "breaking no rule" is just fucking stupid.
The vast majority of the bans I issued were literal alt accounts of the same users again and again...they admitted this. There were dozens of users using dozens of accounts...the notion that each ban I issued was an individual special snowflake is monumentally retarded.
Also, every user I banned broke the rules.
They HATE Rule 2...it prevents them from shitting on /r/conspiracy and the conspiracy theorist community.
Anyone saying they "broke no rule" before their ban is an idiot or lying. They all broke the rules, and they all were given a chance to appeal their bans.
I cited the rule breaking comments for EVERY banned user.
The shills will never admit this. They want you to think I banned indiscriminately.
They can attempt to fabricate their pathetic version of "history", but the proof is in the pudding.
you literally signed up for this account just to post this comment? Good lord you people are obsessed with me.
You and your mod alts broke rule 2 constantly, though. This self-pitying bullshit is meant to distract from how you bear the most responsibility for that sub becoming what it is. I've been active on it for a long time, long enough to remember what it used to be, and you more than anyone stifled discussion and free speech in pursuit of a single narrative. I guess it's appropriate that you posted this today, when all you sold out for collapsed. You may fool the acolytes who followed you here, but you won't fool those of us who have been paying attention for years.
I couldn't agree more. Axo was the last thing keeping that shit hole of a sub on life support.

Yup they sure did
Unfortunately I only had 800 karma to begin with and have already lost 50 on that thread. Dumb asses
You're a narcissist.
Ok, this is hilarious.
Except for one or two users, they all agree that the sub is better off without you.
lol yes totes real "users" beep boop!
You posted this 10 minutes after it was posted on Reddit. Looks like someone's having trouble moving on...
/r/conspiracy/new is one of the many sources I've been constantly refreshing because it's a massive day for potential happenings. Calm your tits.
Lol. Tough day you for you, bud. My condolences.
I dunno, the last few months have been among the most riveting and fascinating events I've ever lived through. No matter the outcome I'm many times more informed about EVERYTHING that I was in early November. This has been a massive red pill for me and I thought I'd seen it all.
You're good at staying in character, I'll give you that much. Sorry it didn't work out for you.
I hope you now realize that many of people you promoted were nothing but liars and grifters.
Why would it be easy to move on?
Because all he's done is bitch about Reddit and how terrible it is, and he's clearly still obsessed. Sad.
Yet here you are, breaking the mold with your bitching.. Looks like someone's having trouble moving on.. you're clearly still obsessed with axo. sad.
I wasn't bitching, I was mocking. Try to keep up.
lol the top thread on topmindsofreddit all day yesterday was stuff I wrote on .win.
Who's obsessed? xD
You, with topmindsofreddit. But that's nothing new, is it?
