Hey guys, this one's a doozy! I thought this story was worthy of being told. I already feel better having written it all out.
But if long-winded diatribes aren't your cup of tea, I won't be offended if you skip this one. ngl though, it's got some juicy bits. I'd love to know how all of this jives with the experiences and observations of many of you out there.
The calls to have me removed from my position soon reached a fever pitch. To the deluded drones at TMOR, I was an existential threat to humanity. After all, they were sure I was a Russian and vaccine disinfo agent. With the amount of times I had seen TMOR users claim to have sent impassioned pleas to the reddit admins to have me banned, I was honestly surprised I wasn’t removed just to shut them up.
Ultimately, that seemed to be their goal, and it worked. Despite discussing some controversial topics, I followed the rules of reddit. In almost 10 years, I hadn’t had a single comment or thread removed by the admins. My record on reddit was pristine. They couldn’t get me on rule violations, and they couldn’t harass and threaten me until I quit. Instead, they opted to turn public sentiment against me.
By this time, many of the veteran r/conspiracy mods started to grow distant from reddit. It left the remaining few of us to do the majority of the work. There were times when I felt like I was essentially running the forum almost on my own, with maybe one or two other mods. I continued arranging AMAs, which can be found here.
I revitalized a “featured documentary” tradition and regularly updated the archives with the chosen films.
I spearheaded a new “Round Table” discussion feature that generated some of the most interesting threads in the history of r/conspiracy.
In my final year as mod, I also publicly documented the content the admins themselves were removing on r/conspiracy, metrics that only are accessible by the moderators of any given subreddit. For a year I extensively recorded these increasingly spurious removals in monthly “transparency threads.” I doubt the admins were pleased as I publicly documented their slamming shut of the Overton window.
These transparency reports received far less attention than they should have, as they were extremely informative. They showed that r/conspiracy was being deliberately sabotaged.
I spent much of my mod efforts on the comment sections, the true front line of r/conspiracy. I aggressively moderated the forum sliding trolls. As we became more and more inundated with this rule-breaking activity, I was forced to respond accordingly by often banning repeat offenders on sight if their history contained multiple previous rule infractions on our sub.
Sometimes entire threads would be swarmed with these artificial accounts, flooding the conversation with these violations. I did recognize the irony in “censoring” these comments to preserve the “freedom” of speech on our forum. The alternative was to allow this blatant manipulation to suffocate the conversation completely.
Because of our commitment to transparency, we publicly released the logs of our moderation actions, something unheard of for any other large sub on reddit. As a result, the narrative managers highlighted my actions in banning the numerous shills in an effort to portray me as a conspiracy “tyrant.”
While I fended off a veritable army of digital trolls, I remained committed to calling out the increasingly unhinged pro-vaccine support on reddit. The brigades during this time against anyone calling out vaccine propaganda were unprecedented in their severity.
By the end of 2019, I was ready for the big one. When videos started making their rounds allegedly showing Chinese people falling down in the street due to some “unknown” illness, their significance became immediately apparent. This was classic propaganda. This was the same pandemic theater we’d been calling out for years.
Keep in mind, after a decade of observing patterns on r/conspiracy, my ability in that respect was ferociously fine-tuned. It was immediately apparent that the users and threads promoting FUD regarding this “new” virus were extremely inorganic. Even more disturbing, I noticed the same pattern across the vast majority of alternative media outlets in the early stages of “coronavirus.” While the MSM and world authorities were downplaying the event, alternate media sites were abuzz with conspiracies, and the Wuhan lab origin was at the top of the list.
I saw the false dichotomy narrative being put in play. A story was being crafted for the mainstream, namely the virus had emerged naturally from a wet market in Wuhan. And a story was being crafted for the conspiracy theorists (a red herring) that the virus had instead been manipulated and emerged from a lab in Wuhan. They use the same playbook every time. Stay tuned, they may used it again if they try to stage an “alien” hoax to cover for when our own exotic technology is eventually disclosed.
In January I issued the most sincere warning of my entire history on r/conspiracy. I specifically noted that coronavirus fear porn was not organic and was targeted at both the narrative consumer and the conspiracy theorists. My warning was specifically directed at the conspiracy theorists not to be swept up with fear by the coming event. Here’s the thread, which I consider to be a crowning achievement of my digital legacy.
I felt compelled to shout this out back in January, 2020: “The staging of viral pandemics has the frightening ability to fool the brainwashed and the conspiracy researchers, if we aren't careful.” How did I know? I’d been documenting it on reddit for years and years. Here’s a list of many of these observations and warnings going back almost a decade.
r/conspiracy was still a force to be reckoned with at the time, and my coronavirus warning thread received a great deal of support. It resonated. Although some threads were pushing fear porn, these were almost entirely artificially boosted, as the genuine r/conspiracy community smelled a rat. Over the next few months I went in hard pushing back against coronavirus fear porn. I even revived some of my numerological speculation concerning COVID, a subject I had largely neglected over recent years.
If the global media and multiple world governments tell all of humanity that a virus may kill you if you step outside, what percentage of the population would automatically get so worked up in abject terror that they would literally cause themselves to be hospitalized with manifested symptoms, especially when they’re already being poisoned by Big Pharma? Spoiler: a lot.
Note: pathogens are absolutely being manipulated and released on accident and through biowarfare. Mother Nature does not tolerate these “frankenviruses” and quickly mutates them beyond recognition. Anything “artificial” released from Wuhan or elsewhere in 2019 is no longer a threat today. This is another reason why the “lab leak” theory initially was so fervently denied to the point of rabid deplatforming and censorship.
A “lab leak” origin may sound just as spooky as a naturally-evolved pathogen, but in reality it just means the “COVID’s here forever!” narrative falls flat on its face. Sadly, that won’t stop various rogue governments and news agencies from getting a little more fear porn mileage from the COVID gravy train.
This is not the time and place to discuss the details of what actually is causing deaths attributed to “COVID-19.” But it’s striking when considering the parallels to previous epidemics like Spanish flu and polio. The swine flu fiasco in particular was a practice round, and the yearly “flu season” is part of the regular propaganda process to maintain the fraud. Respected scientist Peter Doshi exposed the flu deception years ago, asking, “Are U.S. Flu Death Figures More PR Than Science?”
Medical errors are by some estimates the third most common cause of death per year in the US, with as many as 250,000 killed annually.
Add inflated “influenza/pneumonia” deaths to scores of medical murders, and you have hundreds of thousands of “deaths” that can be labeled whatever you want, especially if you are staging a pandemic. The inventor of the PCR Test, Kary Mullis, warned everyone that his tool was not for diagnosing disease. Mullis knew the “Fauci’s” were all frauds, and he was conveniently silenced just months before they would use his own test to usher in the global scam. Just read what the Rockefeller’s planned in their 2010 “Lock Step” or ask the folks who ran Event 201, a simulated coronavirus pandemic exercise that was held in October, 2019.
After the so-called swine flu epidemic, it emerged that the vast majority of alleged “swine flu” patients tested negative for H1N1. Legendary reporter Sharyl Attkisson (with whom I coordinated an AMA for r/conspiracy) essentially lost her job at CBS for reporting on this very fact.
The swine flu “epidemic” was a hoax. And yet...I found myself arguing with both the shills and the genuine conspiracy theorists alike over the swine flu narrative. There are apparently lots of people who are absolutely positive they had swine flu, even without a “positive” diagnosis. They can’t be convinced otherwise, even when faced with all of the evidence to the contrary.
There was no H1N1 epidemic. These people got sick like they always do, and their symptoms were amplified by social and media hysteria. And this was in the era before smartphones truly took off! Imagine the effectiveness of similar pandemic propaganda campaign in the era of social media…
The stage was set for a plandemic, and the public was perfectly primed with pro-vaccine propaganda to usher in the next phase of global subjugation. But the 2020 election had to happen first. Remember, to the narrative managers I’m the fascist pro-vax Russian-agent Trump-sycophant “top mind” of the largest “mainstream” conspiracy forum left on the web.
I really didn’t know what to expect in November, 2020. The unprecedented insanity of Russiagate and COVID was leaning me towards the possibility that Trump was indeed a thorn, and not a plant, but I remained unconvinced. The rabid reaction against Trump’s insistence that a vaccine would be available by the end of 2020, and his insistence upon certain widely available treatments strongly suggested to me he was attempting to “counter” the COVID coup.
They wanted COVID to last as long as possible, and the only way to wrap up the hoax sooner would be to have a vaccine developed as quickly as possible. Whether the vaccine itself is a placebo or actually another bioweapon is irrelevant to the fact that its mere availability will vastly reduce the overall sense of fear among the population. This fear is the essential ingredient in propping up the pandemic theater.
As the election loomed, it was beyond obvious the reddit admins were covering for Biden to an absurd degree. Remember, I had been documenting every removal made by the admins on r/conspiracy since December, 2019. I noticed a shift in admin behavior when they started removing content for “misgendering” and other generally innocuous “offenses” for the first time. If someone on r/conspiracy wanted to call Caitlyn Jenner a “man,” it would not be a violation of our rules. And yet, we were beholden to the mandate of reddit, inc. Users that engaged in such “misgendering” on r/conspiracy began to be disciplined by the admins.
Around the same time, the admins also began removing threads and comments overly critical of Biden, even content that was very clearly satirical. When the entirety of reddit had been a festering Trump hatefest for four straight years, this hypocrisy made the plan glaringly obvious: it was to be Biden.
They also bent over backwards to cover for Hunter Biden.
Despite the growing list of topics we were forbidden from discussing, the vast majority of these unmentionables didn’t appear to violate the reddit user agreement. This contributed to a markedly schizophrenic atmosphere on r/conspiracy and reddit in general. I also finally had my first comment removed by “Anti-Evil Operations,” the Orwellian moniker bizarrely chosen by the admin team to document when they purge content from the site.
My comment that apparently warranted admin intervention used the metaphor “shoot the messenger” to describe the insane persecution a whistleblower was experiencing. The admins claimed it was a “call to violence” with zero regard to the context of the statement, an all-too-familiar tactic of the rogue technocracy. It occurred to me that if they started to censor me for nothing then my time on reddit was growing short.
Even with Big Tech covering for Biden, I had a hard time seeing how they would pull it off. This was clearly the kind of candidate you picked if you wanted to lose. It was well known in conspiracy circles that Biden himself was a pedophile and his entire family was compromised by foreign and Deep State actors. To actually “beat” Trump with a senile racist pedophile in the SJW era would require an election theft on such a magnitude that it would stagger the imagination.
You would have to stage a pandemic about a year before the election. You would have to initially downplay the pandemic and then ramp up the rhetoric to 11 to panic the population. You would then use the “emergency” to gaslight and discredit the current POTUS by claiming he was “mismanaging” something that was almost entirely fabricated.
You would censor anyone who suggested medical treatments that have traditionally always helped counteract the effects of Big Pharma’s products, the very poisons being masqueraded as “pandemics.” You would have to use the panic to circumvent multiple state constitutions to allow election laws to be modified without going through the legal process via state legislatures.
You would have to allow an unprecedented number of mail-in votes. You would have to allow counting to continue for days so the fraud can be “fortified” in the states that weren’t up to snuff on election night. They would, and they did.
Despite having dedicated myself to r/conspiracy for over a decade, and despite my only prior “infraction” being laughable, I was issued a 7-day suspension by the reddit admins on November 2, 2020. The suspension came one day before the election, and completely cut me off from the community of now nearly 1.5 million subscribers of which I was at the helm.
No valid reason was ever given for this suspension, which came down one day before Big Tech and the Mockingbird Media orchestrated the most egregious election conspiracy in modern times. If this doesn’t at the very least raise an eyebrow or two, I don’t know what else will.
The night of the election Trump essentially told us they were stealing it. The next morning it was stupidly obvious what was happening. The ballots were flowing in for Biden. This was our moment to shine. The biggest conspiracy in a generation was literally unfolding in front of us, and we were the conspiracy theorists on the front lines! As an officer, I could shut up and watch from the rear in safety. But I could also charge, light brigade style, onto the front lines of the digital information war. I didn’t have to think twice.
The conspiracy theorist has traditionally backed the underdog. In many cases, it’s the underdog who is being conspired against. On the morning after the election, when the steal began in earnest, Trump officially became the underdog. That doesn’t mean he wasn’t a plant as is often claimed. But even if he were playing that role, it’s still our obligation to call out a blatantly fraudulent election when we see it, no matter who the “good and bad” guys actually are.
I watched with increased frustration over the following week as r/conspiracy plunged into chaos in my absence. To be blunt, I was the only mod who was consistently cleaning up the “meta” attacks against our community that had previously swamped the comment sections before our rule changes.
These tactics came back with a vengeance when I was gone. In some respects, that week was a preview of what r/conspiracy would eventually become after my eventual banishment. I was well aware that the 7-day suspension typically preceded a permanent ban for the “troublesome” users on reddit. I had seen it happen many times before.
After the election, the admins immediately contacted the r/conspiracy mod team with the instruction that questioning the election results would be forbidden site-wide.
Without me around to push back at such insanity, the remaining mod team complied and temporarily forbade this content on our forum. I essentially watched a practice coup of r/conspiracy unfold before my eyes. This was their plan for the future of the sub. It was time to initiate my contingency plan.
I’m not mincing words here. The fact that the reddit admins suspended me for a week on the day before the election theft is extremely compelling circumstantial evidence that reddit was complicit in the 2020 election conspiracy. In addition, I was specifically targeted so I couldn’t facilitate sounding the alarm in its immediate aftermath.
Temporarily barred from my own community, I immediately got to work. When r/the_donald was eliminated by reddit years earlier, their community moved off-site to the “.win” domain. Today it can be found at “patriots.win.” Several other censored reddit communities also migrated to .win over the years, such as consumeproduct.win and greatawakening.win. I was regularly asked if r/conspiracy would ever make a space there “just in case.”
After my election suspension, it was time. I contacted the .win admins on November 4. Within a few days, “conspiracies.win” was in the works. At the time I thought I was making a backup for r/conspiracy. It ended up being a backup for me and a refuge for other r/conspiracy veterans sacrificed by the reddit thought police.
When I finally returned to r/conspiracy one week later, I started cleaning house. The gaslighting from accounts that were attacking anyone daring to question the election’s integrity was off the charts. The personal attacks were off the charts. And the rule violations were off the charts.
And still, my commitment to defending our right to discuss the unfolding election conspiracy on a conspiracy forum was mischaracterized as fanatical support for Trump. What was actually occurring was my realization that we were living through perhaps the most comprehensive political conspiracy in modern US history. As the head mod of a substantial conspiracy forum, it would be unconscionable for me to sit on my hands and kowtow to the digital Stasi.
I began to pin the public election fraud hearings that were occurring on a regular basis. I made sure the election conspiracy discussion was being regularly featured on r/conspiracy. Was I responsible for trying to focus r/conspiracy’s attention on the election fraud? Guilty as charged. If didn’t do it, the conversation would’ve been almost completely absent on the forum.
Even if election fraud had little or zero merit, we had every right to discuss it. The fact that this right was immediately curtailed emitted the most fetid stench imaginable. The rest of the mod team already showed their true colors by submitting to the admins’ ridiculous demands in my brief absence after the election. They assuredly would continue the same trend.
When election night surveillance footage of indisputable fraud from Georgia was released, I officially launched conspiracies.win. I submitted that footage as the new forum’s inaugural thread. I soon announced conspiracies.win to the broader r/conspiracy community, and the refugees began pouring in. The initial announcement attracted some degree of attention, including a nod from Google whistleblower Zach Vorhies who enthusiastically cheered on the reddit exodus.
The rest of the r/conspiracy mod team wasn’t on board. They seemed to think I was trying to “replace” r/conspiracy by moving it to a potential honeypot. In fairness, there has long been speculation that the .win domain is precisely such a honeypot.
All I knew is that I reached out to them and they were unilaterally giving me complete control over conspiracies.win. It really felt like a fresh start and a seriously viable alternate to reddit’s degeneracy. If there were ulterior motives in “allowing” me to establish a backup .win shortly before my ban then I’ve yet to see them manifest.
As I continued sharing election fraud content, the attacks and threats against me reached heights that challenged the peak of Russiagate mania. During the months after the election, a significant chunk of the threads on the front page of r/topmindsofreddit were specifically directed at me. I had now become a singular “threat to democracy” to the narrative managers. The disconnect was striking: the admins were removing comments on r/conspiracy that “misgendered” public figures, and yet they were permitting all manners of harassment and against us.
Over the years, I reported this behavior to the admins countless times. It would only increase in severity. Many of these threats were very graphic and included detailed messages directed at me and my family. Almost nothing was ever done. Entire communities on reddit were dedicated to harassing us. At first they denied it. When it became abundunatly clear they were getting away with it, they finally started admitting it. These are the same individuals that complain that I was a “tyrant” that banned hundreds of “genuine” users from r/conspiracy, only to later gloat that I had banned dozens of their own alt accounts.
I continued sharing information about the various aspects of the election conspiracy, which were piling in as quickly as the ballots late on election night. Whenever live election hearings were held, I made sure to pin them at the top of the sub. These threads were routinely brigaded by the TMORs and their ilk.
Multiple aspects of the election were appearing to be fraudulent. Soon my pattern recognition senses began tingling in earnest, and this time concerning the “Italygate” aspect of the conspiracy. While I felt the details of Italygate to be unreasonably fanciful, namely that rogue US and Italian officials had “stolen” the election through cyber warfare, I couldn’t help but notice the response to Italygate threads had all of the hallmarks of those same topics that hit just a little too close to home.
This suggested that some aspect of Italygate had merit and therefore needed to be silenced or discredited in a blatantly coordinated fashion. This became even more obvious when I pinned an Italygate thread at the top and r/conspiracy.
What happened next was one of the strangest things I’ve ever witnessed on reddit. The thread wasn’t just brigaded, it was obliterated. This digital assault lasted for many days. Users were writing only in Italian, bizarre comments from apparent bots were showing up days later...something strange was happening to that thread.
For the record, I posted very little, if at all about the upcoming “march” to the Capitol. It smelled suspicious. I was more focused at the time by the more feasible approach to the fraud, namely the Constitutional remedy of allowing the state legislatures to analyze the election and determine themselves if any fraud had occurred and if they had the right electors after all.
I was prepared for Senators and Congressmen alike to request a simple overview of the election for a couple of weeks before certification. This was the furthest cry from “stealing an election” imaginable, despite the chorus of unhinged claims to the contrary. Instead, I watched in abject disappointment at perhaps the stupidest and sloppiest false flag in US history. They let several hundred protesters and provocateurs into the Capitol, shot one of them, and then said, “That was scary! Whelp, we can’t review the election now!”
I would think this might qualify as the single dumbest moment in US political history, but this is in a world that accepted the official narratives of the JFK assassination and 9/11. It’s also a world that was literally convinced to shut down and psychologically damage a generation of children over a fake pandemic.
On the evening of the “insurrection,” I pinned that night’s Congressional hearing at the top of r/conspiracy. I watched live as a Senator specifically called out reddit conspiracies as contributing to the “coup” attempt. Multiple comments noted that r/conspiracy would likely be banned. It ended up being just me that got the boot, but ultimately this move would prove to be a devastating blow for the overall health of r/conspiracy, a wound that continues to fester and one that may eventually prove fatal.
On the morning of January 7, mere hours after the phrase “reddit conspiracies” was evoked in Congress, I issued my final warning to the sub, in an eerily prophetic post predicting an impending “Night of the Digital Long Knives.” I warned everyone that an unprecedented censorship purge was coming, and to prepare accordingly. Within minutes, I was issued a permanent suspension from reddit.
Although they claimed it was for “multiple” violations, they failed to cite anything tangible. Like the phrase “shoot the messenger” I can only imagine they stretched the interpretation of “Night of the Digital Long Knives” enough to claim it was a “call to violence” which it most certainly wasn’t.
I’ll be honest. I spent a decade building that reddit account and earning my position as head mod of a community 1.5 million strong. But when I finally got the ax, I felt such an overwhelming sense of relief that I’m still on that high months later. A massive burden had been lifted. I knew it was coming too. One week earlier I copied all of my decent original research and content from reddit, with links included, onto conspiracies.win. I knew I needed to document my work before it was purged.
The MSM quickly reacted to my ban. Gizmodo and The Daily Dot featured slanderous hit pieces against me. At first I wondered if it was a stretch to connect my suspension from reddit with the complaint about “reddit conspiracies” in Congress mere hours earlier. But the media talking heads quite literally made the connection for me.
The headlines speak for themselves. The modestly-sized subreddit r/donaldtrump was also purged, an expected move because it was the last sizable Trump sub left on reddit. But it’s worth pointing out that my removal was clearly the more relevant and newsworthy event, as reddit conspiracies were being blamed for the “insurrection.” Here’s my response to this drivel posing as journalism.
Removing me was no small matter. Not only was I officially given the position by the admin team, I was a PR nightmare. I exposed the entire hypocrisy of reddit. My story is a microcosm of the cancerous state of social media and Big Tech. I was undeniable proof that destructive and violent behavior was being directly encouraged by the reddit admins, emboldened by the hivemind, and reinforced by the entire structure and functionality of reddit itself. The admins needed me gone, and they needed to do it at the most “distracting” time possible. They couldn’t have picked a better moment.
Within the next few days Trump was banned from social media, and thousands more were silenced. I realized quickly that my “plight” was already old news. It’s hard to bring attention to your unjust ban when half the internet that might’ve had your back got booted next.
As was entirely expected, the narrative managers pounced with rabid glee in the immediate aftermath of my ousting. At long last, the tyrant was gone! r/topmindsofreddit, r/subredditdrama, r/drama and many other subs erupted with rampant circle-jerks delighting in my “defeat.” The r/conspiracy mod team also failed in the aftermath of my removal. A well-meaning thread announcing my suspension was pinned for days, but it was allowed to be brigaded by the censorship celebration threads that had hit the front page of r/all rejoicing that the “conspiracy king” was vanquished at long last.
The plan finally came into focus: they had flooded r/conspiracy with rule breaking comments, compelling me to clean them up and ban the offenders. Since I was the only mod who consistently dealt with these violations, they could then use our publicly available stats against me to say I was a “tyrant” that banned “hundreds” of people for disagreeing with me.
The narrative managers got to work. Whenever anyone asked why I was actually banned, they swooped in with, “It doesn’t matter, he sucked!” There’s a blisteringly obvious parallel between “I’m glad Trump is gone, he’s a meanie!” and “I’m glad axo is gone, he’s a meanie!”
With no one left to push back, the narrative managers descended onto r/conspiracy with a vengeance and soon usurped the forum. With a largely indifferent and inactive mod team, r/conspiracy has been essentially thrown to the wolves. I was one of many thousands punished for the “crime” of being interested in discussing conspiracy theories instead of mocking them. I wasn’t special. They targeted me simply because I was an actual conspiracy theorist who just so happened to be placed in charge of a substantial conspiracy forum on a site otherwise devoted to propaganda.
The deleterious effect of my removal continues to spread. Rule-breaking “meta” comments fill the threads again, because no mod is willing to clean them up and face the coordinated backlash for merely protecting the community. In almost six months, there have been no more AMAs on r/conspiracy. Documentaries are no longer being featured, a fun and constructive process which takes the least bit of effort.
The regular Round Table discussions have also ceased, which is unfortunate because this feature was a fantastic chance for coordinated research. Perhaps it was a bit too effective, as these threads tended to avoid being drowned out and lost in the fray.
And finally, the monthly “transparency reports” that I painstakingly put together to document all of the admin “Anti-Evil” removals on our sub have stopped completely, which should come as no surprise at all.
At first I wondered: why didn’t more genuine r/conspiracy users speak up about what was happening? Didn’t anyone else see that rule breaking comments attacking the r/conspiracy community exploded immediately after I was gone? Didn’t anyone miss the featured documentary threads or the round tables? Didn’t anyone want to know what content the reddit admins were purging and what punishments were being doled out? I soon realized that it wasn’t that nobody cared, it’s just that practically everyone who did care was also purged during this time. No nuance to the narrative would be permitted.
That’s how they control the record. I suspect that many of the continued “complaints” about me originate from bot accounts programmed to spring into action by mentions of my user name. Try to mention me on r/conspiracy today: you will still bring all of the rats out of the woodwork. They remain dedicated to making sure the “axo-as-tyrant” meme persists. But they’re slipping. Like with Trump’s absence, perhaps we all needed to see just how bad things would be without us.
They’re hoping the new generation won’t remember what r/conspiracy, reddit, and the internet in general used to be about. Well, the joke’s on them, because there are still enough of us that do remember, and we are more passionate now in our convictions than ever before. I have hope for the younger generations too.
Wow, you really put your heart into this! This is something I respect in the deepest way.
To be honest with you, I exchanged with you in the whatever backstage subreddit there was where potentially there were some ideas thrown in, do you remember the page? I was fed up with the ignorance of the people in the sub and I wrote a message to the moderators, since they can do something... (I don't suppose you remember, it is just important for the story from my perspective). I wrote basically that we should do something about the ignorance and inability to act in this sub and I was surprised that I got so many messages from the moderators. One was from you and you accepted me in the group and provided me with a link. There were others who provided a link to the group and they also informed me that shills can be found even there, as a warning. That's kinda what you expect from honest people these days - freely warning you about the potential dangers they deal with on a daily basis.
So I went in this place and I tried to expose some shills in the subreddit. I got some replies from the mods (mainly you) that were explaining that it is not sufficient for a valid evaluation of a user as a shill... I thought this was bs and after several tries I thought you were an asshole... (I am giving it to you frankly, I hope you appreciate it at the end). However, after some time, I realized that the users I have provided may be just confused and I remember, one of the users was following a lot of weed pages, so it would seem as a person I give a crap about more than he gives a crap about himself... Nevertheless, I saw you were right and people shouldn't be judged immediately by their solo replies but by checking their accounts. The point here, is that you thought me a lesson that I personally learnt from you. Honestly. I mean, even if you don't believe me, I am glad to share it here and be able to transform it in words.
Later, I remember you were very active on the voting cases and after that, there was an article to portray you as an anti-semitic, which was so pathetic on their side... I think more people clearly saw Israeli propaganda as the bad guy, when the topic was US elections.... :D That really backfired on them. :D Anyway, you didn't give up when they blocked your account or suspended it - doesn't really matter how their suppression of free speech acted out, but you created this place and is now more active and truthful than r/conspiracy. I can say that because my account is still not blocked there and I am kinda active from week to week...
The point is that your refusal to give up gave strength to this page to grow and become a source of free speech. I know there are some shills lingering here waiting for their pathetic, immoral paycheck but it is still better than r/conspiracy at this point. There, it is usual for a post to get immediately downvoted to 0 and remain forever at 0 even if you get upvoted - immediately gets to 0. Many posts observing the strange results confirm the same thing. So, I salute you for your action to make this place and be so active in revealing the truth.
I will be honest with you, even though I remain anonymous as you are but hey... it's 2021 already... Anonymity is the key to living free now... Honestly, you are a modern hero of the current age. You have felt the beatings and despite of them, you continue to work towards others, as every saint does in their lifetime. Now, I won't go far as to call you a saint as you have to commit to others for the rest of your life for that, but I see a person who is being an example to those who seek a way to express themselves in the times of censorship - you are the main, if not - one of the main voices of freedom and justice - a modern day hero. But don't rest on what you have done - you have the potential to do more than any of us. Use these choices and create a legacy that will remain for others, so they can remember free speech and justice. Your continuous work in that direction is will prove others that being a hero is within their reach - please continue to share your work with others, so they can learn. I can say that I didn't learn immediately from you, but I greatly appreciate the lessons you've given me even after I reacted negatively initially to them.
It literally boils down to "acting for yourself" or "acting for others". It is clear which choice leads to a global improvement. I am glad you have taken it in the past, so you can share your example. I hope you continue to do so, so we can continue to learn. Thank you!
