Also, it would be helpful not to put (x-post from /r/conspiracy) in the title of the /r/news or /r/worldnews posts. Some people turn away from anything labeled conspiracy and consider those who entertain them as less than credible.

Good ole newspeak.

Thanks to Alex Jones, the word, "conspiracy" tends to mean bullshit nowadays. I wish we could just call them, "untruths", but that would seem contrived, wouldn't it?

That was not thanks to Alex Jones, that was thanks to the CIA after and since JFK's assassination. The term first appeared to discredit those who posed alternate explanations to the events surrounding that coup d'état. Now it is used to smear anyone who doesn't believe what the government tells them.

Happily, it is losing it's a mojo.

Create a new sub and cross post from there. /r/citizenoutreach or something

Actually, I had an idea for a sub today. It's a known fact that there are users on this site promoting a social agenda. /r/SocialAgenda or something to that effect - could be a sub devoted to listing users suspected of pursuing a paid agenda. We could compile lists for various agendas and the users associated with them. The users listed could potentially defend themselves from accusation, and it would be left up to the readership to pass judgement.

ya I always see awesome story, great to see on top pages of reddit and ...oh its always in /r/conspiracy. Why do I rarely see good threads make it outside of /conspiracy? If other subreddits, SRS, Feminism, ect. can game the system to show / hide content, why cant r/conspiracy?

are you suggesting we work behind the scenes in secret to push our agenda? sounds like a conspiracy ;)

This seems like a fairly good idea, vote rigging is an issue. even if the language is hazy, thats a double edged sword and even worse, it could be bent to either extreme.

However, if we all were to decide to start/continue to browse r/politics and independently upvote particular articles....

Yeah. Just go to the other subs and participate respectfully. More importantly, lead.

you may as well add sandy hook to the list because that was complete bullshit.

Baby steps man baby steps.........

There's a long list of bull shit, we're all aware of it on this sub. I'm asking you guys how we're going to get this bullshit into the mainstream media. I feel like the legitimacy of these stories is lost when posted next to, "corporate ass-licking patsy for big business with a profoundly anti-democratic contempt for due process and international law." True as it may be. We need to inject these stories in a more palatable form to the mainstream news feeds.

Look at the top posts in this sub - over 2k of upvotes. We have the people power to get those posts to the top of default subs where the entirety of reddit will be forced to consider what they seem so willing to brush off.

Keep fighting the good fight.

There is a lot of misinformation and distraction out here; specifically in order to discredit the spread of legitimate information such as what you cited.

This is an uphill fight. The current lack of exposure on mainstream subreddits does not result only from indifference of ordinary redditors. People who want to suppress this type of story have gained positions as moderators. They aggressively police the new page. They have their own subreddits from which they can summon downvote brigades. And the administrators implicitly support their actions.

Good luck.

/r/conspiracy is a subreddit from which we can summon a brigade of upvotes.

No direct vote rigging, its against the TOS, but absolutely submit and upvote relevant info whenever you can.

Woah there. I looked into the TOS about vote rigging, truthfully I gave it a skim, and it seems that what we're talking about here is defined pretty hazily. I don't think it would constitute a violation of the TOS to x-post from our threads in this sub to the default subs in an effort to drive the content into a more public domain. Then again, the TOS language regarding such activity seems to be intentionally left subject to interpretation. In effect, we'll never know if we don't successfully try, and fail.

This is what TOSs are. Its a big legal "whatever". That said, if people dont complain it will be harder to justify.

I have been trying. I spent all morning arguing with /r/TrueReddit . A couple people said that this story was not great or insightful. I tried to explain that this is real god damn life. This is not some crazy conspiracy. This is an ongoing investigation.

I think this is a great idea, if we all get together and focus on up-voting a select few stories each day in selected subs we may be able to start educating some people. We should probably find a different place for us all to organize as I feel this subreddit is filled with watchful eyes. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men should do nothing.” Edmond Burke

wait you are proposing to conspire? r/conspiracyconspiracy

If anyone should know how to conduct a conspiracy, it's the subscribers of r/conspiracy, except we're not really hiding it.

Conspiracy made the front page yesterday I couldn't believe it
