I've never been much of a thread poster on any forum/media board type of thing I've been on, just a commenter. But I try to comment and upvote as much as I can, but yeah, numbers here are unfortunately a bit low. It had a nice bit of activity the first 2 weeks it started but I don't know where everyone has gone now.
This place has tons of potential. There are very few places left with true free speech, a nice UI and (mostly) civil and intelligent folk. Not to mention, I like this place for it's diversity of views. Other alternative "free speech" sites tend to lean too hard towards an idea (GAW and Q, Poal and NatSoc, etc) which can make it difficult to have honest discussions. But here, despite the small numbers, I've seen all sorts of opinions and thoughts being exchanged - like it used to be on /r/conspiracy before all the shills and sheep.
So I don't know, perhaps this place needs more publicity? I want to make it work.
Its because this site is broken. You can't block users so you get turned off by shills. You have to wait until a mod bans them and then have to deal with the onslaught of fake complains about censorship from the ALTS.
It gets tiresome. I wonder if the block user function is purposely not working.
They really succeeded at splitting the community into crumbs when they started their operation against /r/conspiracy, didn't they?
/r/conspiracy is now filled with mainstream folks that are there to make fun of genuine conspiracy facts at this point so I've left there but we need more participation here.
A week or so ago I raised the minimum karma to vote to 200 points, hoping it would reduce some of the drive-by downvoting (it did)...but it also has reduced voting overall, which wasn't the intent.
I just changed the requirement to vote from 200 to 20 so hopefully that only stops the very new spam accounts and doesn't prevent the rest of folks from voting.
They did the same thing to the major Bitcoin forums back when Bitcoin was about competing with fiat currency.
I was there for that firsthand and this feels like the same playbook.
They are really good at it. The plan is to drive all of the dangerous free thinkers into different fragmented, small communities and then marginalize those communities with the mainstream to prevent their ideas from spreading.
I try to post older "high octane" discussions because anybody can link to the newest zerohedge article. It is valuable but can anyone say we're suprised at any current events? The last 2 years have basically been "conspiracy theorists" saying "I told you so!"

I just tried to block you and it didn’t work.
They made /r/conspiracy unbearable through banning and shill posting, and they make the alternatives suck just enough so they don’t get traction.

Very sad Pepe.
Very cute, too. Aww.

I'm here, but I'm not sure anyone else is?

Thanks. Looking forward to finding the right balance here as well as the rise of legitimate engagement.
Maybe conspiracies are too mainstream now
No, it’s dangerous so they are destroying it.

Divide, marginalize, and conquer.
Q anon trash and overhype set conspiracy theorists back 50 years.
Im not saying that high level gov officials and hollywood people arent satanic sex goblins, but Q made it into a joke.
I usually check this site a couple times a day.
I'm here. Sort by new to combat the shills.

I'm here!
If you want more posters then you have to link the site elsewhere so people bookmark it until they remember the URL. Or it needs digital marketing.
I’ve noticed all of the conspiracy forums are dead since they stole the US election.
Operation mockingbird probably reallocated their budget from shilling to other projects now that the coup was successful.
Edit: plus the upvote thing would have a huge effect too, but conspiracy forums are dead overall. I’m convinced state actors are targeting them.
election is over, and as there were quite a lot of political posts, the people mostly interested in those have no reason to stick around anymore?
I don't find this place that bad for being overly pro-Q. It seems to be a 50/50ish split on pro-Q/not pro-Q.
you should visit GAW to see what a Q-Cult looks like lmao
The only person using that language in this thread is you. Leave, you fake a$$ NPR Q buzzword shill asshat.
