I am, or at least I was, addicted to browsing new on r/conspiracy. Most of it was junk but I'd always find some good content.
For the past month or so every single post is junk. No good content to be found there anymore. My theory is that the bots that have been relentlessly brigading the sub have driven away all the quality posters.
All good things must come to an end but I'm sad that we are losing one of the few places we could find news that counters the mainstream narrative.
The problem for me is rampant censorship on reddit. Sometimes you aren't even aware it's happening. For example if you submit a bitchite link, the submission will simply be shadow banned.
That might be a big part of it. Most of the good content I'd find on there was bitchute or rumble videos.
You can share bitchute links as comments, just not submissions.
you can't do that anymore. That ended a while ago.
I realized something was seriously amiss with the sub when my posts regarding the spikes in cases and deaths following the rollout of vaccines in various SE Asian countries like Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam were removed within seconds.
I posted images screencapped from Johns Hopkins CSSE COVID-19 dashboard like this one:

in June last year and reveddit showed me that they were removed my mod or automod, but it was clearly an automod.
So why would r/conspiracy have an automod that knew to remove images drawn from JH CSSE dashboard? I have to guess that that data was particularly damning to the COVID narrative and reddit admins had set up some kind of filter.
Reddit is fake.
told ya. the mods relinquished it to the shills after I left. rule violations and abuse abound.
Yeah, it's bad.
Take your downvotes as badge of honor my good sir, I think a lot of us think you're a shill. So excuse them, I did upvote you though
Site needs to be renamed to 'Leftit'. In so many ways.
I'm not giving up my fight on that site yet. u/#pepedance
Like being part of a dying company that you didn't build. Attend meetings, eat all the cookies and ask obvious questions to make them have to explain themselves as if they are thick.
Bring a roll of toilet paper home with you before you leave.

I like it here, and I like saidit.net here we have axo, prolific mod and poster, and said it has magnora7, who was also excellent on r/con in years past.
I would never go back to Reddit at this point
M7 has really driven saidit into the ground. That teenage tranny admin created massive amounts of drama, and I believe accelerated the downward trend. All those unfair bannings and other bullshit led to many leaving, including me, and a flood of retarded trolls has practically taken over the site. Seems like d3 left recently too?

Pretty awful most of the time. Sad, because it had a lot of great users, and still has a few. Was about a year ago when that Loki88/Iron Left 'troll' started posting complaints about how the site was run. Interesting how he could see where saidit was going with the policies he complained about. He was kind of over the top with demanding prison for m7 and d3, but now that most of the good users have left it looks like he was right.
2015 (spring/summerish) was when Pao went on her sub banning spree. I made my voat account on June 12.
Well, we will all miss r/conspiracy ; or, at least, what it once was.
I hit up /new every day. Fuck with and troll the shills and up vote the good posts. We must do our part.
Are you a fan of ping pong? I like the game very much https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKZlxi0uRKA
I'm still trying to stick with it, but it has brigades coming from off site subredditdrama sites now. They go out of their way to be yuck to people with a different opion.
There are people here too harassing users and breaking rules, being toxic etc. There is even vote manipulation being done to harass users, all because they are sad fucks with no life... maybe they are organizing it from reddit, who knows.
The last time I was on subredditdrama people were whining that it wasn't as good as it used to be. Then the replies were that they created another site because they were constantly caught brigading.
I can't remember what it was called, but it's all 80's migraine glitter colors. Now they can still brigade, but since it's from off site, it's not technically a brigade.
That's a whole lot of effort to make sure you don't have to stop your bad behavior!
