I'm talking about how it used to be a few years ago. This forum is "dead" comparatively. There were shills that would come here and either argue in favor of state sponsored conspiracies (like flat earth, to make conspiracy theorists look idiotic), they'd completely deny all conspiracies and argue with people (like on r/conspiracy), or just come here to defend jews whenever they were mentioned (like TheImp and now DresdenFirebomber). It pushed a lot of people away, including me, who used to use this forum frequently. Instead, most of us went to other forums to talk about conspiracy related stuff.
The only reason you've seen an uptick in use lately is because JG5 began using it several months ago, which attracted TheImp/DresdenFirebomber, and JG5 would argue and mess with Dresden, who's a bad faith troll who always defends jews, and deflects toward "woman bad", natalism, and "Nazis bad". Then, you became a mod, which stirred up the historical animosities, attracting people back to see what was going on (like me). However, that "flourishing" is going to go away, because no genuine conspiracy user will want to frequent a conspiracy forum that's moderated by people who censor stuff on behalf of the people in power. It's antithetical to the purpose of a free speech forum, and the topic of conspiracies in general.

Hi Apex, I'm really not upset at you for nuking all my ConPro content over a misunderstanding, but your having said that suggests there may be an open question. You seem to think "censorship" is happening here but not at forums like ConPro. Now, I understand modern censorship to mean viewpoint suppression, while behavior suppression is the ordinary good purpose of forum rules across the board and is viewpoint-neutral. I've been auditing TINAE, and she is disciplining based essentially on viewpoint-neutral rules like disrespect and trolling (disruption). On the other hand, I got nuked because I helpfully answered a sincere question about what Jews existed who defended the oddities of the Talmud (I wasn't even defending it myself in that response). That seemed viewpoint-related and/or related to viewpoints I had previously taken in an attempt to sincerely interact with the forum's (unstated, evolving) purposes.
Nice botting. Getting 3 upvotes in a buried thread. Fuck off you disingenuous shill. I've been in and seen enough debates and conversations with you to know you're a subversive.
I don't bot, Apex, thanks. I do know people who have a habit of reading the entire comments feed as I do.
So you're censoring your own thoughts about censorship, I understand; and you're not interested in explaining your own actions. Anyway, I appreciate you taking time out from your censored fora and visiting us in these uncensored waters, and I always look for good things.
I'm really trying to learn here and it's been slighty rocky but it'll settle. I know I'm trying some new things and it might seem strange and I'm now trying to hear the community better and not my rigid technical brain system and I really think things will work out well here. Even the last few days I've seen very good things. Glad you stopped by to check, hopefully you see some other things worth sticking around to talk about.
I don't run on anyone's orders but Jesus Christ, and my husband.

Then, in reverence to Christ and God and the Holy Spirit, you should step down and abdicate this responsibility to a man. To do otherwise is to disagree with and sin against God, how He made men and women, the differences among us, the varied responsibilities and headship, and the proper divinely created hierarchy.
I don't think the forum is dead. I am already seeing positive growth and community discussion is flourishing and I am beaming!

What would you say censorship is?

A woman moderating a board isn't sin and is not breaking God's commands. Do you know much about women in the bible?
