This tells the whole story, it's long but just in case you're interested:
What I've learned after 15 years of analyzing reddit's propaganda machine
I was head mod on voat's conspiracy sub too.
Is this the best place for conspiracy-based conversations or are there other sites you recommend?
AFAIK.
I'll bite. Venezuela?
It's almost like the conspiracy sub should speculate about conspiracy theories...
facepalm
yo! you're a legend!!! welcome, so glad you're here :)
The Mod's job is to protect the integrity of their community to the best of their ability. Guilty as charged.
got shit canned.
In the most savage and legendary way possible...I was "shit canned" after a sitting Senator called me out on the floor of Congress, and reddit freaked and banned me within hours. Literal MSM headlines ran with the title "Reddit bans /r/conspiracy mod after Congress complains."
Do you think that senator was offended by my "censorship" of TMOR crybabies? lol.
That directive came straight from the IC.
That's right: I was taken out by literal glowies.
That's a badge of honor I'll take to the grave.
haha you're a TMOR?
I'm not the only mod cleaning up your spam. Can you just stop? No one is trying to take away your voice, we just want you to stop spamming nonsense.
shooting down one of your woe is me whiny fucking posts.
You mean when I warned everyone that there was a concerted campaign to get me removed by the reddit admins because I called out the vaccine propaganda on reddit for a decade and knew what COVID was immediately and was actively warning everyone?
Or when I showed the thousands of instances of threats and harassment allowed to flourish because reddit is solely meant to propagate cult-like psychosis?
One of those?
It's the same tired bullshit from reddit. These faggots spam every thread with "HURR DURR DEBOONKED" nonsense to elicit temp bans, then they create new accounts immediately to cry "muh censorship!"
It's how they decided to craft the narrative around me on reddit. They brigaded my account incessantly and when I repeatedly banned the same dozen or so asshats, they used the resulting metrics to portray me as a "tyrant" who banned "anyone who disagreed" when in reality I was simply taking out the trash. They couldn't abide by that.
OP here created his account yesterday and is literally following this script. It's dumb.
Remember when I did a monthly "transparency report" where I documented every comment and thread removed by the admins?
Before: Head mod regularly reported admin removals.
After: Entire mod team hides even their own removals.
My gift is an uncanny ability to identify shills. That's why they had to get rid of me, I wear Roddy's sunglasses.
bruh you're spamming go back to reddit with this nonsense.
Sure, but I'm not wrong.
Hey! Pretty good, tbh. I have much more time these days to spend on the stuff that actually matters in life. I tried my best to warn everyone about vaccines and the coming dystopia. At least my conscience is clear. You?
reddit shills are here
no, that's pretty much all on point. reddit is THE honeypot.
I think this is what the kids call "mad sus"
I did back in December. He declined for fairly valid reasons (he suspects this is a honeypot). I respect his decision. He will always be welcome here.
my childish tantrums.
Hey I've had my fair share of those too! You rock btw.
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!
np! I found it by scrolling back a few pages on "new" so it definitely is visible! Good engagement too.
