This will all end in tears, I just know it.

You should look into how most of the upvotes on reddit come from an air force base

I'm already noticing the dialogue to be much more constructive and genuine compared to r/conspiracy . Thank you for this, folks!

i only noticed a week or so ago that friendly mods had snagged this place, well played brothers!

that does anything but....I already went into detail about reddit CPAL'ing this place in 2007 when they got bought out by Naste...

Again, criminals who run the show are not stupid....they KNEW what they would do with reddit just like they KNEW that if they kept doing "that", being blatant shilling and hiding of the truth, that eventually people would find out, just like they found out that Eglin AFB routes the traffic through there...

Now being smart criminals, knowing that some day they would have to "burn reddit down" they set up a backup plan....that being voat....by making ALL THE HARD EARNED code free, it made it so "two college kids could come up witha swell idea" 8 years later....don't think they think that far ahead?think again...As we know ANYONE could grab the code and use it to launch a reddit like site....we ALL KNOW THAT WHAT MATTERS IS HEAD COUNT...and we also know reddit controls EVERYTHING....including what gets said there...EXPLAIN TO ME WHY REDDIT WOULD INTENTIONALLY ALLOW TRAFFIC TO BE DIVERTED HERE? PARTICULARLY THE "CONSPIRACY TRAFFIC"...

cpal'ing just creates perfect cover for covert shit just like this....particularly if you read the reasoning that was gven at the time...."gee golly, we just want our users to be able to make the site better"....BULLSHIT!

*wary

haha....thats funny

I've been so tired of putting up with trolls and being called a conspiratard just for questioning anything, I'm so glad that this is starting to take off.

I will be a bit more trusting when mod logs are added but this feels like a good start.

To that end, I am a bit concerned with the current push to add new moderators...

It's been awhile since I logged in here (last time it was still whoaverse), and I am a little behind on the topic. Who is pushing for adding new mods, and why? Hopefully someone will clue me in.

why don't you people stop worrying about the dynamics of this place and simply use it to change the world?

STOP posting links to CONSPIRACY related bs START AMASSING NUMBERS!

STOP talking about whats wrong and START DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT

use voat as reddit would not allow you to...

bring them to me and I will show you the way....

Hey All,

It's good to see some familiar names here. I have made the decision to leave reddit and check out this place. Is there a way I can see a list of who has subscribed to this subverse so far?

Some of you guys knew me by my old Debian inspired name of *sudo-tleilaxu", I am glad to go back to my old name that was unjustly banned on reddit.

I hope those of you who know me from reddit view me as a fair-minded person who always had the best interests of /v/Conspiracy in mind in the past. If down the line you want to consider an untainted name to help moderate this sub I am throwing my hat in. I have the time to help and my only agenda is to have the best Conspiracy sub possible within the established and agreed upon standards and rules. I would hope some of you already know that I am pretty hardcore about a hand-off moderating philosophy if you remember anything I have posted about it in the past. (EDIT - I have never been a moderator on reddit.)

Let me get a feel for this place a little bit, and if you have any questions or thoughts message me privately. I need to play with this place a little bit right now and get a feel for how things work, but so far so good in my opinion. Thumbs Up!

Again, could someone please explain the need for mods?

I think the site as a whole needs administrative mods, to basically deal with death threats and repeated racial attacks....but other than that, which is pretty rare, I see absolutely no reason for them...is this like indoctrination into accepting being policed?

I say we vote on if we have Mods at all...The very once in awhile freak show can be eliminated by an administrator of the site...

IF this place is real and the shils and agents have no support by being supported by guys who have he keys to all the locks and backdoors, well then they won;l get to far....

Mods are a sign of a Military run site...MANY, MANY php forums are "mod free"

isolate the node!

/u/AssuredlyAThrowAway made me visible on /r/conspiracy after I had been shadow banned. I think that shows good faith.

If shit goes awry and power is abused we call for the metaphorical heads of the mods.

this entire moderator thing is TOTAL bullshit....WE DON;T NEED MODS....PERIOD....barring someone posting somebodies address and real name and saying that there coming to get them...what?....more conditioning....what would someone write that would need moderation?...call someone "names" hahha,fucking please....over on the side bar where it say "moderators" it should be an empty box...

I think you are entirely correct, and I will start trying to be more active here.

I can vouch for all of the mods here with regards to their commitment to the free flow of information, and I hope some of them will become a bit more active as the community continues to grow.

I have three important points to make.

1. First of all I must say that I have noticed several individual taking part in advertising this website on trending and popular posts. That is foolish to say the very least and I referred to that behaviour whenever I saw that. It is of course important to get people over and let this community grow and flourish naturally. But by openly inviting all evil doers, who will most likely not be drawn here by mentioning this service in random conversations with people. Blatantly advertising to preying eyes is just not smart. Otherwise we just duplicate the exact same illness from one system to another one (and that in it's alpha ffs)

2. If bots really should crawl usernames and register accounts here, we should first line out a message to people coming here (must be perma stickied, dmg control ...). We can only address people openly, as we are not working as a secret cabal. Playing with open hands demands you to be smarter than your enemy. So people should be validated to be the same person as on Reddit, or even better: Pick a new name. You would see if someone would be using your name anyways, so you could address the identity theft ...

3. I haven't been particularly around very long in the Reddit world. Pardon my ignorance please, but I have never given the moderators any special observation as I have noticed the poisoned climate when I joined Reddit and didn't wanna get involved in it's politics I knew nothing about. Can you fill me in, in which way you can "make sure that content is being allowed to flow freely on this subverse?" I simply do not know what you mods do and what those fights you get yourselves involved in look like. I get that there must be someone that overlooks that nothing gets deleted and no one is picking fights and things like that, but isn't there any way around this? To give us the label "/v/conspiracy" is slightly stupid in my opinion. Seems like we are really summoning the same demon just 5km down the road. This is growing, why not mix this with worldnews or something and just keep it free. /v/expressionoffreedom or whatever. That's what we are trying here after all, aren't we? To prove that we still can express our freedom in any form of words without any censorship... The community shall be the judge. And to me it seems the /r/conspiracy -community is the only larger group occupying this platform anyway?

This is my current concern with the minor exodus from reddit this past weekend and all the publicity voat is getting over there. Wouldn't be surprised to see people coming over to rock the boat and discredit subverses that compete with similar subreddits.

If moderator logs were added and full transparency was given to the users so they themselves could guard the guards, would you be willing to step down as moderator and give others the chance to take this sub on as their responsibility?

I'll Volunteer as a mod. I have the same user name on reddit and mod a small sub.

If not no big deal. Just throwing it out there.

Yes, this is actually jcm267 MUUUUAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA

> came to whoaverse (now voat) back when I felt reddit was near the point of collapsing. I watched as the users from /r/conspiratard used bots to register every user name of /r/conspiracy regulars that they could get their hands on.

This is literally the level of pernicious filth we are dealing with. There is no depths these people won't go to, to undermine our ability to communicate alternative thoughts and ideas with you. So if you don't think they would come in and attempt a mod wipe - and try and act all neutral, well..

I've been personally subjected to this behavior by the conspiratards as well. They've made several accounts over the years mocking my handle. I'm surprised they didn't swoop mine here.

as an outsider who has no idea whats going on i agree with you, i feel that /v/conspiracy (and other similar subs) might be targeted as this sub is really hated on reddit for some reason, haven't people learned anything in the past 10 years?
