I've been on .win for a while now, but haven't really posted here before because r/conspiracy was at least somewhat tolerable for a little while after u/axolotl_peyotl was unceremoniously booted for talking about the election conspiracy.
However, it's since started getting intolerable. The mods have basically just stopped getting rid of users who are there to troll (even when they admit it), break rule 2 by just bitching about the subreddit constantly, not to mention the brigadiers who have been brigading even harder since nonewnormal was banned.
There are users there I have personally reported no less than 30 times over a period of weeks or months for breaking rule 2 and/or trolling and they're still fucking there. They won't get rid of the comments 99% of the time let alone actually ban the people who consistently break the rules. The only mod who I can see even tries is Amos and that's it, and I can't expect him to be able to do it all by himself.
What they do remove though are links to this sub (*win), but mostly leave the links to the nonewnormal win alone, which is bullshit. They don't mind NNN users coming to the win sites, but god forbid people want to check out a conspiracy forum that's not their own.
r/conspiracy has just been going downhill ever since you left Axo. Thanks for having the foresight to make this place, even if it's not getting the amount of users it deserves to. I'm still going to keep trying to refer people here who are tired of the bullshit and hope it makes it passed the dickheads who don't want people to have an alternative.
OP this means a great deal and was really timely. Thanks so much for sharing.
I loved /r/conspiracy and my time there was a joy, even as it started getting increasingly dark and burdensome.
In its prime the community there was one of the finest and most engaging/stimulating I'd ever encountered on the web. It was an honor to have brushed elbows with all the rapscallions, the luminaries and everyone in between.
We're at a pivotal point for humanity atm. We're being offered a precious opportunity to see just how bad things could be if we ever relinquish our freedom.
It was a relief to be banned. Honestly the admins did me such a massive favor, and not just for my mental health! There are only so many abusive messages per day for years that any sane person should be subjected to, and I prob was at the limit there.
Not only was the weight lifted, but ironically my efforts on the sub I think only really became apparent after I left. As OP mentions, Rule 2 and other violations exploded. I spent 90% of my moderator duties cleaning this up. When the shills cite the metrics of my "censorship" they conveniently leave out that I was removing rule violations and banning the same repeat offenders.
They knew I was the only mod who was bothering to clean up this behavior, and they used those metrics to portray me as an unhinged power-monger that "banned people who disagreed" which is absurd on its face.
I don't think the remaining team are bad ppl, they've just largely moved on with their lives (as we all do) and are simply uninterested in maintaining a civil level of discourse, which is admittedly a massive undertaking. Amos is the real deal, but one man is not enough against an army of shills and useful idiots, as noted by OP.
They went in too hard and too fast...the censorship, the COVID op, the naked fascism...they have awakened a sleeping beast in humanity and the perpetrators will very soon be trembling in awe at the power they've unleashed against them.
We were all undoubtedly meant to be born right now for this conflict, and even more importantly for when we craft a better way after the long overdue demise of this old and broken one.
It's an honor to be here right now with you OP and all of you reading this.
Let's go!
Those mods are corrupted or something.
They booted me off for too many redpills a few times and later I got back in and they booted me for posting a Henry Kissinger quote.
That sub is essentially controlled opposition where shills are protected by the mods.
I got perm suspended from the entire site for ban-evasion. Even though my other accounts never left the forums they were made for.
I would primarily use "wtfppl" on my tablet. Without thinking about it I logged into a dif acc on that tablet. In less than a minute I was given a site-wide ban with all my acc., about 8 of them.
My last submission was in r\conspiracy pointing out that 100% of US governors that attended and/or participated in the "US-China Collaboration Summit" from 2015 to 2019 all have their cities locked down. A very high percentage of governors that didn't go do not have their cities locked down.
Lol if Reddit is dead, we must move on. I’m glad to have found this site.
I was banned without reason.
They don't even care anymore.
I listed the factual evidence that 3 powermods were pedos.
"are you trying to get us banned??"
I heard about this. What is the evidence?
Don't Reddit my Win. Already seeing that cringe humor spilling over in the comments.
Need Voat back.
Fuck YES, even though it was a honeypot it was a honeypot that tolerated all even qfags and worst of all nigger faggots!
Voat . xyz
good ol' Voat

What, you don't go to a baseball forum and constantly shit on baseball? You must be a right wing Nazi terrorist.
Seriously, there are so many brigaders, trolls, shills, and bots on r/conspiracy that it stops all genuine discussion about conspiracies. The same thing has happened to pol on 4chan.
Right? There's people over there complaining now that there isn't enough about aliens or bigfoot (and when I check their profiles, they've of course contributed nothing to the sub other than bitching).
And I literally get downvoted for telling them to either make their own posts about aliens and bigfoot, or go to the alien and cryptid subs that have quite a lot of subs and are active. Which, to make another analogy, is like going to r/animals and bitching that there aren't enough posts about ferrets instead of checking out an actual subreddit dedicated to ferrets.
It can be slightly maddening.
IT actually is a good example of just how fucking lazy they are. They put a misleading tag after 15 hours of the disinfo being up and leave it there. Easily proven disinfo. Completely misinterpreted bullshit.
r/conspiracy has been one of the most AstroTurfed/ brigaded places on Reddit for last 5 years or so. When the Share Blue/ Correct the Record/ Media Matters people invaded Reddit in 2015, that sub seemed to be affected almost as much as r/politics was.
Cambridge Analytica. You forgot about them.
Yeah. I am sure there are plenty more that could be added to that list.
Big tech ruins everything, always pushing narratives. Now they finally automated it all.
all mods of reddit are completely taken over. there may be a good handful of good people left...but my GOD, that site has been taken over by marxists and full blown totalitarianism.
Be careful, spit too much truth and you'll get the ban from Axo too. EDIT: BANNED BY AXO! SURPRISE SURPRISE
Took 2 minutes for that account to be banned.
Well, he already banned me with a message of "low effort" so here's my next account. We'll see if it lasts more than 10 comments this time.
What a hypocrite every time he cries about censorship.
With their progress banning nnn and quarantining others, the trolls are coming for r/conspiracy which is loaded with nnn type posts. Ironically, this rona thing has attracted a large percentage of trolls that used to be aimless jerks, now they can finally tell other to go die and not get banned if it's in the name of covid prevention. That's interesting if they are blocking .win links but not the nnn one though, is it because .win is too much competition for them? However if they get quarantined, maybe they will change their attitude.
I still want to believe half or more of the brigadiers, trolls and jerks you speak of are a combination of paid operatives and artificial intelligence. At this point though, after most of my ‘thinking’ friends blindly accepted every shifting narrative and complied with all the talking heads’ requests surrounding the Chinese Communist Party Virus... I can accept that most people in the world population are semi-retarted.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean, I like to think they are ai bots and what not too, it makes me feel better that way. :-/
I have been banned from this site 4 times today now for asking questions about censorship. The irony isn't lot on me.
