[META] The reason r/pizzagate and r/altright were banned is as simple as the mod teams were uncompromisable and actually independent.

Sorry if this has been posted before. In popular subs the mod team are surely paid social media experts. Whereas these new independent subs are just dudes who are like,"Yeah!"
You can't just send the "yeah!" dudes messages like "hey btw dis da gov. be our puppet or well kill u" because those "yeah" guys would in turn go right online and say "hey I was contacted by an entity and given a narrative for which I refused." which would flat out prove pizzagate real right there.

If you can't join em, beat em. Also up for 2 minutes and 3 down votes lel blue.

Shit theory. That's why it was downvoted.
Dunno why PG went, but AltRight was trying to pay 5k for info on a picture of a man. That is doxxing. All they had to do was say send all info to police, and there is a reward for successful prosecution.
n/a TheHighBlatman 2017-02-26
Oww. That was actually pretty funny. I'm pretty sure I am wrong at this point don't worry.
I Don't know shit about altright except it was banned. I jumped the gun.

Is there a specific reason you chose to speak like a 12 year old for that part?
n/a TheHighBlatman 2017-02-26
Nah I'm just high.
n/a Gentleman_Retard 2017-02-26
It makes your argument look childish.
n/a TheHighBlatman 2017-02-26
I don't know any kids that smoke weed man. But yeah it was poor choice of words. I've been reading lots of 4chan and don't really understand it, so my brain just kinda did a bad translation.
n/a fringetheories 2017-02-26
That was a pretty good translation of 4chan
n/a KiA423469420 2017-02-26
Psst. Try some Kazerad, man. These are like, the best [translations of]((http://kazerad.tumblr.com/post/99022123468/shepherd-of-the-masked)) 4chan.

You should relax and smoke a lil

Wasn't r/PizzaGate banned because they were specifically told not to dox by the admins and then like a week later the mods stickied a post telling users to dox someone?
n/a ac-phil93 2017-02-26
shhhhh that would go against his theory!
n/a TheHighBlatman 2017-02-26
It would. And there's nothing wrong with that. No need to be like, edgy.
n/a TheHighBlatman 2017-02-26
Oh did they? I didn't know that. I didn't frequent that sub, there was always plenty info here.
n/a God_Emperor_of_Dune 2017-02-26
That didn't happen.
n/a TheHighBlatman 2017-02-26
Anyone else care to chime in. We got 2 things contradicting. Who can prove their side?
n/a God_Emperor_of_Dune 2017-02-26
Well reddit deleted any proof but I've been seeing that narrative ever since the sub got shut down and it's not true. I was on that sub daily.
n/a murphy212 2017-02-26
There is proof, the full archive was downloaded, it is available for download on voat.

If you click on /r/pizzagate then you'll see this:
So yes, it did happen.
n/a TheHighBlatman 2017-02-26
That could mean or have been put there by anything.
n/a SovereignMan 2017-02-26
The only people that could possibly have put that message there are the Reddit admins. I was a mod here for a few years and have seen the admins warn /r/conspiracy several times for doxing. There's no wuestion that they would do that and anything contrary that you may hear from pizzagaters is simply sour grapes.
n/a TheHighBlatman 2017-02-26
Well I'm not denying reddit mods obvi put it there. But they also could have been told to by the real ptb.
n/a KiA423469420 2017-02-26
PG is certainly explosively positioned.
n/a wile_e_chicken 2017-02-26
Oh bullshit. Stop it.
n/a Lord_of_Jam 2017-02-26
I was mainly going by memory and after looking I couldn't find anything about the stickied post so I may have been wrong on tht but this is the mod post from whn the sub got banned that includes the Admin message telling them they were being banned for still posting personal info and doxxing even after multiple warnings. And the official reason given was witch hunting, which falls in line with that.
n/a nottheoretical 2017-02-26
they gave r/pizzagate about 20 minutes warning of shutdown. The "doxxing" specifically was reposting instragram messages and images from the public accounts of a few suspected individuals. So if you think of doxxing in terms of identifying anonymous people or posting private information about them then no, it didn't happen.
n/a TheHighBlatman 2017-02-26
Good to know. They were shut up for constantly reposting the disgusting pics off his IG. Becuz we were shaming him.
n/a mconeone 2017-02-26
No it was for posting personally identifying information, or PII. Email addresses, street addresses, and phone numbers. All pulled from publicly available websites.
n/a mconeone 2017-02-26
It was 3 hours, for a sinister reason. They ended up banning all the offshoot subreddits that people made for continued investigation as well.
People were doxxing left and right, but in the days prior the mods had been warned. They were diligent in removing PII posts quickly. But that wasn't the reason, only the excuse.
The reason was the NY Post's original fake news article about pizzagate. Its mentioning of the sub caused even more people to look at it. What they found obviously wasn't fake but a real citizen investigation. TPTB couldn't have that now could they?
n/a nottheoretical 2017-02-26
Sorry, i just remembered logging on to the subreddit that day and there being 20 minutes but the warning must have gone out before that. I recall all the spinoffs getting shutdown. there are actually a few small and quiet places still left.
I Always thought the term "witchhunt" that they posted on the banned page was a stupid jab at the occult element involved.
I vividly recall the fake news invention that began to counter pizzagate. There are people now who like to say it didn't begin there but anyone watching at the time couldn't have escaped that fact if they tried.
n/a mconeone 2017-02-26
We live in interesting times my friend. Stay vigilant.
n/a murphy212 2017-02-26
It's utterly wrong. The mods were very severely treating doxxing. They had a sticky for a long time reminding everyone it was forbidden, and to please help avoid giving them a pretext to get the sub banned. There wasn't any doxxing going on there for weeks. This was the top post when the sub got banned.
n/a wile_e_chicken 2017-02-26
Some users doxxed some ppl, yes. Whether those misbehaving users were actually plants... impossible to say for sure, but it does seem likely. Perfect way to shut down a sub if you can't pwn the mods.
n/a heymikeyp 2017-02-26
We all know why pizzagate was banned/framed.
