The problem is, r/conspiracy has it's place on reddit and should continue to do so. It must stay active for the sole reason that lost souls find the sub and gain a look behind the curtain that has been pulled over their eyes.
If everyone from this sub was to migrate to voat, where would that leave the rest of reddit?
I signed up for voat earlier this year to check it out. "Obama threatens forced anal sex for anyone who doesn't accept the fag agenda" was near the top of the front page.
its 'Critical Thinking' is the name of it. they didnt like the word conspiracy. because they feel there is some validation for why we think the way we do.
It is 100% transparent, there is a log of everything the moderators do. It has even been used already to kick a mod by the admin (she deleted posts that didn't fit her agenda, including one where the owner took part in the discussion).
So I went there, browsed /v/all, and one of the top posts was from /v/niggers. I went to check it out, and i came away hoping it's satire. Otherwise people were right, and voat is just a place for idiot racists.
I have left reddit for Voat due to years of admin mismanagement and preferential treatment for certain subreddits and users holding certain political and ideological views.
The situation has gotten especially worse since the appointment of Ellen Pao as CEO, culminating in the seemingly unjustified firings of several valuable employees and bans on hundreds of vibrant communities on completely trumped-up charges.
The resignation of Ellen Pao and the appointment of Steve Huffman as CEO, despite initial hopes, has continued the same trend.
As an act of protest, I have chosen to redact all the comments I've ever made on reddit, overwriting them with this message.
Finally, click on your username at the top right corner of reddit, click on comments, and click on the new OVERWRITE button at the top of the page. You may need to scroll down to multiple comment pages if you have commented a lot.
After doing all of the above, you are welcome to join me on Voat!

Congratulations on not even remotely comprehending the concept of discourse! Pro tip: something isn’t true or correct if a bunch of people agree with it.
Congrats on writing this on reddit, about voat, without a sense of irony. That is just a huge joke sir.
There is plenty of discourse on voat. I'm not going to write out the 6 examples I can think of off the top of my head because I go there everyday and I don't think you go there at all. You've obviously made up your dumb mind though.
I’ll translate: "I like reddit a lot more than voat
You’ll have to take a remedial course. I hate Reddit, too.
”reddit is much better for you then."
Given the choice between cyanide and dog doo, I’d rather not eat either. Of course, given the choice between using either cyanide or dog doo for fertilizer, I’d take the latter and work with the thing that is simpler to fix.
While not required, you are requested to use the NP domain of reddit when crossposting. This helps to protect both your account, and the accounts of other users, from administrative shadowbans. The NP domain can be accessed by prefacing your reddit link with np.reddit.com.
It can be argued that downvoting is a form of censorship. The type of censorship Voat users are interested in more is moderator and perhaps admin derived, via removals. Comment and submission removals are logged automatically.
Half the posts on /v/politics are racist/bigoted as fuck.
I think /r/polandball is fucking stupid. That's why I don't go there.
Also, who cares if they have unsavory opinions? I'd rather see what they have to say than get some kind of sanitized bullshit served up by some asshole with an moral agenda. If you think their opinion is terrible, you have a downvote or upvote button as well. Or you could debate them, convince them of the merits of your argument, or whatever.
I'd rather see what they have to say than get some kind of sanitized bullshit served up by some asshole with an moral agenda.
Then just read youtube comments. They're exactly that, uncensored, no PC moral agenda and only a wonky comment system to deal with. The only other problem is that they can make your eyes melt out of their sockets because they're so fucking stupid and horrible. It seems poor moderation only leads to excessive racism and pedophilia, just look at the *chans. At some point you stop wanting to see what they have to say, because what they say is not enlightening in the least, think unfettered cawadoody voice chat with squeakers calling your mom a nigger. I'm too mature for it.
Who cares how racist somebody is, or about other people's opinion in general?
It's not that they're racist, it's that they conflate not being racist with being a 'sympathizer' or 'libcuck', and then downvote it into oblivion.
I'd rather see what they are saying than get some kind of sanitized bullshit served up by some asshole with an moral agenda.
I agree, but it's not just that you see the racism, anything remotely 'left' is actively censored by the circlejerk.
If you think their opinion is terrible, you have a downvote or upvote button as well.
I think you're underestimating the ratio of bigots to sane people. Thinly veiled Islamaphobia/Bernie hate even leak into /v/funny. The amount of highly upvoted ignorance and hate is insane. That alone would be one thing, but they dogpile anything that disagrees with them.
You're full of shit. I'm very liberal and also an active Voat user. Yeah, there are racists and right-wing assholes there, but I have no problem with them. I don't read the racist subs and the wing-nuts are entitled to their stupid opinions. At least Voat let's you see what they have to say and have a dialogue--reddit just deletes non-PC comments and shadow-bans people to give the impression that few people disagree with that bullshit. It's like 1984 around this place....I only drop in when I see a bullshit thread like this linked on Voat.
No, I'm really not. I'm one of the most active users of /v/politics that isn't right wing. I clash with them on a daily basis. Half of them recognize my username, and I theirs. Check my post or submission history there. Same username.
In fact, one of them just posted this about me:

I think that people just have their "racism detectors" on full blast because of reddit and the MSM being so PC. Then it just amplifies between them and the people in similar situations they come in contact with. "can i call obama black?", "can i call obama half-black?", "is he african american, are we still using that even though it is often wrong?", "i guess it's best if i keep my mouth shut"

These clowns need to be stopped. Fake elections, dazzling us with Facebook, Kim Kardashian and Star Wars, while they pass bills and trade agreements that might as well be called screw-jobs during the wee hours of the morning, on New Years and during times where people don't really pay attention. It's okay though, Satan's got a warm seat waiting for all these criminals.
Yeah, what's funny is that these crooks are actually leading me back to religion, mainly in the hopes that Hell is indeed real and they will most certainly be among those who suffer eternally.
...but doesn't eternity seem like a bit much? For anything? How rude.
Same here. This life is temporary. The worst of our human qualities arise when we believe that this life is everything and our top prioirty is to have as much as we can!
Very true. I've experienced enough on a personal level to know there is something far greater than individual gain within us that presents itself in a spiritual awakening. It's unfortunate the sadists do not embrace the notion of this existing.
Wouldn't that be the ultimate limited hangout? To be content that there is some form of "ultimate justice" and to go on your way paying no attention to what's happening?
bring on the massively distributed version. a little background program anyone can run that forwards the data to unreddit. Good luck blocking the entire internet admins.
I'm assuming that the deleted comments were stored somewhere accessible, now they are encrypted or placed somewhere where they cannot be accessed by anyone but admins anymore.
Creeping normalcy - slowly change things over time and people will accept them. Only something that compares and contrasts currently accepted normalcy with what used to be can jolt the mind back to remember how it was and how bad it is now.
Unfortunately (but also unsurprisingly) Reddit has found a way to block unreddit and now no longer works.
we sure they didn't just change there rest api? what it does isn't too different from the waybackmachine except it's reddit customized. It would be very difficult to block. I guess you could blacklist the ip's they use to scrape from but that can be worked around pretty easily. It's behavior would be harder to accurately profile against a normal guest than I think reddit is capable of.
Here is the biggest reason censorship is happening so quickly you ready for this "Because we as a nation are waking up to there (Main stream media, governmental corruption and the Fed).
This is weird, people complain about Facebook keeping your information after you delete your profile, but a site keeping your Reddit comments after you delete them is okay?
How about, "engage your brain before running your mouth", like you have to do in real life?
I'm on record multiple times as favoring the direct opposite: NO comment deletion by anybody, ever, plus any edits feature strikeout/insert marks so the original is always visible.
You are a human (I assume), but the actions you take, for some reason, related to a specific medium (the internet) should be treated in a different fashion than other actions? Why?
There is no difference between Internet and the real life. The internets, the communications, the statements are just as real as the real life.
the actions you take, for some reason, related to a specific medium (the internet) should be treated in a different fashion than other actions? Why?
Because this medium is different to speaking in person.
There is no difference between Internet and the real life.
There's a huge difference. On the internet there's no immediacy, you can plan your response, you can insert citations and all other kinds of stuff.
In person if you're talking or arguing a point, it's all very immediate.
On the internet, everything is recorded. Things in person tend not to be.
Not to mention the rather obvious fact that online anonymity provides a great deal of security and shit talking that people wouldn't dare do in person.
Because shooting off one's mouth without consequences feeds trolls, hit-and-run thread dilution/hijacking, and generally enables liars; "I never said that!".
Voat is even worse than Reddit. The lack of censorship there in conjunction with the standard voting system means the people manipulating votes on the internet (i.e. the hard right wing) can get away with it even easier than they can here. And here it is pretty fucking easy, given that I've dropped 150 karma just from one night doing battle with Hasbara.

Sadly true. Racists regularly overrun /v/news.

I have left reddit for Voat due to years of admin mismanagement and preferential treatment for certain subreddits and users holding certain political and ideological views.
The situation has gotten especially worse since the appointment of Ellen Pao as CEO, culminating in the seemingly unjustified firings of several valuable employees and bans on hundreds of vibrant communities on completely trumped-up charges.
The resignation of Ellen Pao and the appointment of Steve Huffman as CEO, despite initial hopes, has continued the same trend.
As an act of protest, I have chosen to redact all the comments I've ever made on reddit, overwriting them with this message.
If you would like to do the same, install TamperMonkey for Chrome, GreaseMonkey for Firefox, NinjaKit for Safari, Violent Monkey for Opera, or AdGuard for Internet Explorer (in Advanced Mode), then add this GreaseMonkey script.
Finally, click on your username at the top right corner of reddit, click on comments, and click on the new OVERWRITE button at the top of the page. You may need to scroll down to multiple comment pages if you have commented a lot.
After doing all of the above, you are welcome to join me on Voat!

I think that people just have their "racism detectors" on full blast because of reddit and the MSM being so PC. Then it just amplifies between them and the people in similar situations they come in contact with. "can i call obama black?", "can i call obama half-black?", "is he african american, are we still using that even though it is often wrong?", "i guess it's best if i keep my mouth shut"

These clowns need to be stopped. Fake elections, dazzling us with Facebook, Kim Kardashian and Star Wars, while they pass bills and trade agreements that might as well be called screw-jobs during the wee hours of the morning, on New Years and during times where people don't really pay attention. It's okay though, Satan's got a warm seat waiting for all these criminals.
5 slim_ironwood 2015-12-21
Yeah, what's funny is that these crooks are actually leading me back to religion, mainly in the hopes that Hell is indeed real and they will most certainly be among those who suffer eternally.
...but doesn't eternity seem like a bit much? For anything? How rude.
2 metabolix 2015-12-21
Same here. This life is temporary. The worst of our human qualities arise when we believe that this life is everything and our top prioirty is to have as much as we can!
1 slim_ironwood 2015-12-21
Very true. I've experienced enough on a personal level to know there is something far greater than individual gain within us that presents itself in a spiritual awakening. It's unfortunate the sadists do not embrace the notion of this existing.
1 IntoTheHole 2015-12-21
Wouldn't that be the ultimate limited hangout? To be content that there is some form of "ultimate justice" and to go on your way paying no attention to what's happening?

What about uneddit? and r.goldfish.me
EDIT: uneddit is not working either
1 GuyAboveIsStupid 2015-12-21

1 EnglishIndividual 2015-12-21
I read somewhere that uneddit was used for data collection to aid in doxxing redditors.
1 FascismIsForHipsters 2015-12-21
how?
5 ATGGTCGATAATGAATCTTC 2015-12-21
bring on the massively distributed version. a little background program anyone can run that forwards the data to unreddit. Good luck blocking the entire internet admins.
4 Putin_loves_cats 2015-12-21
Even as a developer, can anyone explain to me how uneddit worked (technical answers)? BTW, sucks that it doesn't work anymore, sigh..
7 CombustibLemons 2015-12-21
I'm assuming that the deleted comments were stored somewhere accessible, now they are encrypted or placed somewhere where they cannot be accessed by anyone but admins anymore.
3 flyyyyyyyyy 2015-12-21
anybody got a link to that javascript unreddit button?
3 delithug 2015-12-21
This is the Uneddit link I have:
Hasn't been working the last couple of days though.
3 CelestialPhoenix 2015-12-21
Blocking a subreddit is like blocking a channel on YouTube. Did anyone back up and mirror the posts from Unreddit?
3 SteveDave123 2015-12-21
Creeping normalcy - slowly change things over time and people will accept them. Only something that compares and contrasts currently accepted normalcy with what used to be can jolt the mind back to remember how it was and how bad it is now.
That's why it's gone.
2 Subzeb8 2015-12-21
I wish unreddit had kept track of self posts. Those got censored from here all the time.
It's already been passed, so it's not like unreddit was an important tool in that issue.

2 squishles 2015-12-21
we sure they didn't just change there rest api? what it does isn't too different from the waybackmachine except it's reddit customized. It would be very difficult to block. I guess you could blacklist the ip's they use to scrape from but that can be worked around pretty easily. It's behavior would be harder to accurately profile against a normal guest than I think reddit is capable of.

fuck reddit owners and their agenda. and fuck reddit staff who pursue their master wishes as good fucking dogs they are
1 Horus_Krishna_2 2015-12-21
it's a private website but we can and should revolt against the owners wishes.
1 AssuredlyAThrowAway 2015-12-21
The website uneddit is on the site wide spam filter; all comments which link the url are autoremoved by the spam filter.
1 patrioticamerican1 2015-12-21
Here is the biggest reason censorship is happening so quickly you ready for this "Because we as a nation are waking up to there (Main stream media, governmental corruption and the Fed).
-2 Rockran 2015-12-21
The problem is that UnReddit and other sites out there is they also prevent you from removing or editing your own content.
So if you make a comment and later choose to delete it, these services will show your deleted comment. That's not a good thing...
2 GuyAboveIsStupid 2015-12-21
Things get removed from the internet? TIL
1 Rockran 2015-12-21
Not with these sites.
This is weird, people complain about Facebook keeping your information after you delete your profile, but a site keeping your Reddit comments after you delete them is okay?
1 GuyAboveIsStupid 2015-12-21
People complain about that? I've never heard of that
It's almost as though reddit isn't a single person, and has separate thoughts on subjects
1 txstoploss 2015-12-21
How about, "engage your brain before running your mouth", like you have to do in real life?
I'm on record multiple times as favoring the direct opposite: NO comment deletion by anybody, ever, plus any edits feature strikeout/insert marks so the original is always visible.
1 Rockran 2015-12-21
The internet is different to real life. So why should it be treated the same?
1 tms10000 2015-12-21
You are a human (I assume), but the actions you take, for some reason, related to a specific medium (the internet) should be treated in a different fashion than other actions? Why?
There is no difference between Internet and the real life. The internets, the communications, the statements are just as real as the real life.
1 Rockran 2015-12-21
...
Because this medium is different to speaking in person.
There's a huge difference. On the internet there's no immediacy, you can plan your response, you can insert citations and all other kinds of stuff.
In person if you're talking or arguing a point, it's all very immediate.
On the internet, everything is recorded. Things in person tend not to be.
Not to mention the rather obvious fact that online anonymity provides a great deal of security and shit talking that people wouldn't dare do in person.
0 txstoploss 2015-12-21
Because shooting off one's mouth without consequences feeds trolls, hit-and-run thread dilution/hijacking, and generally enables liars; "I never said that!".
2 Rockran 2015-12-21
In real life people forget, people move on, your word isn't recorded so only those that heard it can relay it.
On the internet, everything is recorded. You can say shit a year ago and someone can just look you up today and find that quote.
People change, their views change, they should be able to delete their comment history and move on.
-2 PublicEnemyNumber-1 2015-12-21
I had no idea this even existed. Well, I can't say that it's a bad thing it was deleted. Some things should be removed from existence.
-4 Quantumhead 2015-12-21
Voat is even worse than Reddit. The lack of censorship there in conjunction with the standard voting system means the people manipulating votes on the internet (i.e. the hard right wing) can get away with it even easier than they can here. And here it is pretty fucking easy, given that I've dropped 150 karma just from one night doing battle with Hasbara.
