With the knowledge we have from Snowden about the army of astroturfers employed by the federal government, this place will become infected as soon as they notice it - which I'm guessing has already happened.

There are ways to address that. Instead of whining all 'J'accuusse!!' Just vote down their idiot posts and make fun of them.

A core goal of shills is to derail the conversation. You need to not let them be a distraction - merely background noise.

agreed but it helps when they are banned as soon as they are proven beyond doubt, unlike the other place where certain users seem to be allowed to operate unchecked...

You sound like a shill to me, shill. /s

The only question is: will everyone else follow? I think in the coming days, linking to this site on reddit will probably earn you a ban - if it hasn't started to already.

this is assuming that r/conspiracy is censored as bad as the other subs. do you think it is? definitely not.

theres over 200,000 subscribers. unless the censorship in r/conspiracy is THAT bad, or we can move in anger

That's cool, I respect that.

I am up-voting you both for showing respect to each other (because the points matter). Thank god for the death of r/conspiracy .

Wrong. People being called shills were being called out deservedly so. And no, everyone was not being called a shill.

The "I'm a shill because I disagree" is a staple of their discourse which has no basis in reality whatsoever. I can't help it if they follow a playbook everyone recognizes. I call them like I see them, regardless of their point of view.
