Did you know top minds mods run a sub called /r/media_manipulation? (as of 24hrs ago set to private.

142  2018-03-25 by RMFN

Before /r/digital_manipulation went private some lovely person got an archive. Note the MOD team. (https://web.archive.org/web/20170912011148/reddit.com/r/digital_manipulation) here is an archive for proof ; *

This link in particular I believe I was led to:

https://labs.rs/en/

It is a webpage with several documents dedicated to online meta data and mining user information. This link mind you was posted by a MOD of tmor. If their sub is just about "having fun and making jokes" why would one of their mods be affiliated with a subreddit on online media manipulation?

https://np.reddit.com/r/TopMindsOfReddit/comments/871f2i/is_rmfn_a_time_traveler_top_mind_discovers_secret

Ohh, triggered! I used my scrying mirror to see into your secret sub. I can actually hear your thoughts, tmor. Such is the power of the high King. I offered Phoenix a challenge to lyrically bout and arm wrestle to determine who is the true King. He has yet to respond to my offer. Fear? Why do you fear the mad King, pheephee?

"The kicker is he summoned me to /CST, abusing his very own 'golden rule' in the process, banned me, then some of them had the gall to message modmail in my super secret laboratory for access. Really?

All of sudden everyone is concerned with manipulation on these platforms the past week, becoming super-sleuths and language/data experts within that time, completely oblivious that some of us have been on top of this for years now (and very well warned them specifically of their current situation a long fucking time ago).

They're not getting our homework and insight for free at this point. There's ample places for similar information elsewhere. The ginormous difference is no one has focused long-term attentions on their particular sub like we have. Not the mods; not various newbs running their little tools; no one. Aside from probably admins, we few regular users know more about the dynamics of that sub than its entire userbase."

What do you mean by "homework", pheephee?

Is this revelation of the method, pheephee?

He won't come debate me. He won't play chess with me. He won't arm wrestle. He's keeping all of his slam poetry to himself... And he won't kiss me anymore. I tired to be his friend

Nay, I must feign denial... I was Phoenix trap lover... Phoenix and I were married. And now he's bringing the divorce into public.

Why don't you love me anymore /u/_ph03nix?

And now they're too afraid to debate me.

I don't know much about TMoR. But from all I've heard, this doesn't surprise me.

Interesting eh? I feel like the moose archive guy!

Yes, very interesting. But, like I said, I don't know much about TMoR except from what I've read here. I've never been to their subreddit.

I don't know who the moose archive guy is! 🙂

The moose archive was a subreddit but had really cool information and the dude would always start off the post with would you like to know more... Then his account went inactive and the TM or Dean modded him and deleted all of his crazy amount of work.

Oh, okay. Thanks for the explanation.

Do you have a mirror? I wanna read.

Sadly no...

There may be an archive somewhere but as far as I know it's been scrubbed.

Did they just make it private like they did r/ digital_manipulation when it was called out yesterday?

The link?

It still comes up for me.

Weird. Maybe I'm blocked somehow.

https://web.archive.org/web/20170912011148/reddit.com/r/digital_manipulation

We have an archive thanks to some gracious angel.

Look at /r/media_manipulation now lol. Did I spook them?

There is a new one that was caught X-posting by automod-

r/topmindsofconspiracy

Automod link?

Can you look in the modlogs? I'm on mobile today and I have the crappiest service right now.

Sure, saving to enqueue to do.

Thank you!

They are paid posters with a few bored snotty nose teenagers thrown in, they have tools at their disposal to rig voting

Interesting stuff, who's website is that? It's fascinating

From our ‘Superman case’ three years ago until now, we have witnessed a variety of violations in the online environment in Serbia. Specific cases of breaches of online rights and freedoms that our small team has been monitoring are made of arbitrary blocking or filtering of content, cyber attacks on independent online and citizen media, arrests and judicial proceedings against social media users and bloggers, manipulation with the public opinion through the use of different tech tools, surveillance of electronic communications, violation of rights of privacy and protection of personal data; pressure, threats and decreasing the security of online and citizen media journalists and individuals. We filed more than 300 different cases in almost three years, and created a monitoring database that is a foundation for this analysis

A combination of two distinct strategies of astroturfing developed within the Serbian online sphere in recent years, evolving from approaches that, based on their origin and geographical prevalence, could be referred to as Russian and Chinese. While the Chinese approach is marked by the strength of sheer numbers and mostly just cheerleading, the Russian one deals more with the personalised content, active political discussions and attacks on the “internal enemy“

Polemics with the Internal Enemy – In his manual style blogpost Aleksandr Dugin, a Russian right wing political scientist, is proposing a rhetorical frame, which is quite similar to one that we can find in Serbian online sphere. “It is obvious that we have two camps in our country: the patriotic camp (Putin, the people and ‘US’) and the liberal-Western camp (‘THEY’, you know who)… A system of synonyms to be used in polemics should be developed. However, it should be kept in mind that such synonyms need to be symmetrical. For example, THEY call us ‘patriots’, and WE in response use the terms ‘liberals’ and ‘Westerners’ (Russian западники). If THOSE WHO ARE NOT US call us ‘nationalists’, communists’, ‘Soviet’, then our response will be: ‘agent of US influence’ and ‘fifth column’. If they use the term ‘Nazi’ or ‘Stalinist’, our cold-blooded response should be ‘spy’, ‘traitor’, ‘how much did the CIA pay you?’ or ‘death to spies’… An automatic patriotic trolling software, demotivators, memes and virus videos … or similar visual agitation materials for beginner level patriots could also be used against them.”

I note the mention of Aleksandr Dugin, he's the guy that wrote the foundations of Geopolitics

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics

Found this other article which discusses Russian meddling in Serbia

Dubbed "Putin’s asymmetric assault on democracy in Russia and Europe: implications for US national security" - this is a minority staff report prepared for the Committee on Foreign Relations of the US Senate. 

It speaks about the Russian president's government "engaging for years in a relentless assault to undermine democracy and the rule of law in Europe and the United States."

Lol they really don't like your little excerpts you pulled.

Funky votes here 😕

Always when this kind of thing is brought up. This post was already linked in tmor.

Reddit admins fully support TuMOR, if anything they probably provided data to this media _ manipulation sub, as it fits in eith their current agenda of providing our comments to the ADL to create machine learning based anti hate engine.... http://autoweek.com/article/classic-cars/citroens-karin-concept-was-80s-pyramid-wheels

That sub didn't even exist until I made it just now. Wanna be a mod, /u/rmfn?

Lol? So they deleted it? Nice!

Someone there just admitted you typed the wrong subreddit and the actual one is digital_manipulation. They also think you're "the moron" for that, rather than them being too narcissistic and proud to keep you mistaken.

So they deleted it? Nice!

You can't delete sub-reddits.

Seems like they definitely scrubbed it of links.

Why did you change the link in your submission? It was 'media' and is now 'digital'.

And even if they scrubbed it, the age of the sub-reddit is listed it he side bar. It's just over an hour old.

I mistakenly wrote the wrong one. Is that a crime?

It's misleading and seeing as you wrote it in the headline and have not deleted this thread and submitted a correct headline, dishonest.

""The kicker is he summoned me to /CST, abusing his very own 'golden rule' in the process, banned me, then some of them had the gall to message modmail in my super secret laboratory for access. Really?

Phoenix wrote this in the tmor thread linking this it pretty much explains everything.

I don't know what most of this means. Who is 'he' in the first sentence? Who is Phoenix?

And I have no idea what the rest of it means in relation to me.

I don't think I have ever posted there.

Suuuuuure.

Show me an old post of mine in there, if I did I will admit I am was wrong.

What's your alt over there? Why are you using the talking points in the tmor thread I linked?

Uhh nobody needs to get "talking points" to see that the subreddit you named didn't exist until today.

Yes good find, that's the link I posted lol.

Did you know top minds mods run a sub called /r/media_manipulation? (as of 24hrs ago set to private)

https://web.archive.org/web/20170912011148/reddit.com/r/ digital_manipulation

Thanks for the link. Quite useful.

I have no alts that post there. How's the timing work out, maybe they are just using my talking points?

Prove it.

lol, prove you have no alts there.

I already did.

Where?

My blood oath to /u/celinehagbard. He will vouch for my legitimacy.

lol, sounds legit.

You don't believe?

Don't really care.

Then why do you ask?

You still haven't proven your not a cancerous tmor.

Then why do you ask?

Boredom

You still haven't proven your not a cancerous tmor.

I don't need to.

Yes you do. You must prove your purity to the inner party member before you.

Eh, not really :)

You must bow.

I vouch for u/RMFN.

;*

Speaking of being dishonest, interesting that the text you quoted is different from the source text. I am sure he edited his post to make you look bad,right?

This was the original unedited text he posted about two hours ago. Interesting to note the changed, eh?

Look at the voting patterns on this thread.. Obviously legit. /s

Lol.

Your headline and a mention in your body text referred to /r/media_manipulation, and you also mentioned /r/digital_manipulation in the same unedited text. Stop gaslighting us.

This is just plain inaccurate. I'm subscribed to the sub and can view it at this very moment. It was created months ago and currently has 395 subscribers.

Yeah when users have a secret sub to talk about what goes on in another sub they shouldn't be trusted. Why would you need a private sub to talk about meta things? Why not be transparent?

Yep, and its own users who participate in that other sub should never be fully trusted.

r/rhsa used to... /s

Yeah why does tmor need a private sub to compile lists of us?

I agree with you. Private subs are pretty suspicious.

Anonymity in usability makes that interface an impossibility. People will always want to hide behind their names.

I agree.

lol Phoenix got anxious and went and closed the doors on the sub? That is absolutely adorable.

For anyone doubting its existence, I saw the sub within the last couple days and it was 95%+ content posted from Phoenix.

Seeing as how the sub in the headline was created less than two hours ago, you did not see it a few days ago.

Then delete this post and submit it with the correct headline.

Then delete this post and submit it with the correct headline.

Only fascists tell people what to do.

You gatekeep for this sub all the time. You contributed to a list of PNGs in your lil conclave safe-space sub. You do Not get to speak on others’ behavior.

Your name has been added to the list for transgressing against an inner party member. Prepare your case. The tribunals will begin at dawn.

Looking forward to it. In between now and then, can you address the hypocrisy you’ve exhibited?

Looking forward to it. In between now and then, can you address the hypocrisy you’ve exhibited?

What hypocrisy?

Wow, look at Mr. Pushy. I didn't know you were a mod.

That's interesting, here I am commenting on that fact just yesterday.

Did you even read the headline for this submission? Or are you just following OP around?

Did you even read OP? Or are you just following them around? You've contributed enough for it to be fair to assume you've seen the multiple comments where they addressed that the title was incorrect, so why be disingenuous and pretend like we don't clearly know what we are talking about here?

addressed that the title was incorrect,

He has not done that is the submission comment. He has even left up a sentence suggesting that he is being set-up by tmor to look like a liar. This is untrue and misleading. He has also not made clear the edits he has made in his submission comment, which is also misleading.

In case he does change it:

Before /r/digital_manipulation (lol now it has been deleted and made a new to call me a liar) went private yesterday I grabbed a few links to share.

I posted it again with the right title. You can quit your bitch fit now.

Quite entertaining.

For some reason he didn't like us finding out his "homework." Did you see him reffer to us in his lists as "students to give give gold stars too," some kind of sick veiled holocaust joke...

But you said the holocaust was a globalist lie?

But you said the holocaust was a globalist lie?

Lol! /r/rickandmorty is leaking again.

I don't know what that means

In a round about way it means GFY for implying I deny the holocaust.

Gfy? Like where I see the recipes and boobs?

Gfy? Like where I see the recipes and boobs?

No, it's where you fap to traps.

I don't know what any of that means either. Have a good night!

I don't know what any of that means either. Have a good night!

K. U 2.

Valiant effort

How is that possible, when the sub didn't exist until a few hours ago?

Maybe you should reread OP, in fact here I am just yesterday commenting on it's existence.

Well, ignoring the confusion surrounding the name of this sub... I don't see the conspiracy.

It's a sub of links about media manipulation, which is good conspiracy content. The existence of the sub itself doesn't seem to be a conspiracy, and it doesn't indicate that the person curating it is engaging in those techniques, it actually indicates the opposite.

https://web.archive.org/web/20170912011148/reddit.com/r/digital_manipulation

and it doesn't indicate that the person curating it is engaging in those techniques

Fucking lmao, please suck Phoenix's dick more.

Ok seriously, how would that be a viable strategy? The sub is for exposing manipulation, how would that benefit a person/group responsible for similar acts? Why would they post exposees of their playbook?

Lately the forum spies handbook has been posted here, do you see that as evidence that the poster is a forum spy?

/u/_ph03nix what did you mean by "homework"?

Petition to ban TMOR. It's a menace to reddit and they don't even hide it...

They are a group dedicated to targeted harassment.

And approved by reddit admins probably.

Admins in cahoots with them.

Pheephee oh /u/_ph03nix, you wouldn't be afraid to debate a idiot conspiracy theorist would you?

I got rhymes on dimes for my shoes to shine.

Blind the light from my words so tight.

Come at me phee. King is me..

Anarcho monarchism is the ism that tickles my particular 'tism.

I can view the sub now and don't see any particular reason it would be set to private. It's basically the same crap (some of it decent actually) that was posted before. I guess you'll have to ask one of the mods to get an answer, assuming they aren't just trolling.

Yes sir. I must be added as an approved submittor or something. Not surprising considering I'm a mod over at CII and message with Phoenix periodically. He helped me re-vamp the layout of /r/1984isreality and was supposed to help with another sub but I guess he's been busy trolling /r/conspiracy and shitposting in TMOR as of late. I do not endorse or personally approve of either, by the way, but don't take it personally or hold it against him necessarily either. I consider it largely irrelevant, and a waste of time, quite frankly.

Can you archive.com what it looks like right now and send it to me? I will give you a blow job.

No wait. Two blow jobs.

I don't know man. That seems kind of shady. As a rule of thumb I don't archive or ps private subs, that includes /r/Conspiracyv2, or any other private sub for that matter. Besides, I'm pretty sure that wouldn't work to begin with, as archive.com and archive.is wouldn't be able to access it either, and I'm not doing a ps so don't even ask. Looking at it now, it's basically the same shit that's been there since you saw it last, with a few random news articles about facebook and cambridge analytica added afterward. I'm pretty sure he didn't set it to private to 'hide' anything, more likely to tweak the css or troll this sub, which would be shitty of him but again largely if not entirely irrelevant as far as I'm concerned.

Ah. Thanks anyway.

Like any bully, TMOR is confused and disoriented when the aggression comes at them.

This angle is really bad pr for them.

Totally agree. I've been banned from TMOR for too much mockery, but I can PM the mods (and do). Phoenix tryna play this off like like he meant to do it. LOL too bad his ego won't let him shut up. Folks like that so easy to manipulate.

Revel in it. For this is a right where we can both agree on an adversary. I love you westcoasthippy. We will banish this evil thing haunting our halls. We have the strength.

Thank you and I appreciate it, but I'm just adding another body to your efforts. Keep it up, stay on the offensive, bullies cannot handle it.

This post seems to be written in a comedic way and I laughed a lot. But need to be careful of stopping down to their level. Tmor (which fittingly autocorrects to Timor) are massive dicks and have wronged key members here severely. But let’s not cross that line that we are blurring and become as bad as they are. If tmor really are a bunch of shills then they are winning, cause we are talking about their manufacturered drama instead of real conspiracies.

The only way to defeat them is show that they are not funny at all.

I meant your post was funny. I guess where your post ends and the quotes are a little blurred, but I am in no way defending TMOR.

I know you aren't defending them. But we have to bring the meta to their level if they refuse to come to ours. They don't like being made fun of. It's time the bullies get a taste of their own medicine.

And now they’re too afraid to debate me

Just gonna be honest, you weren’t exactly open to debate. They were willing to talk to you, but all you did was quote them, call them angry shills, and ignore all of their questions.

Who did I call a shill?

You didn’t directly call them shills, but you did call them angry and considered their questions bait. Used the wrong word.

You didn’t directly call them shills, but you did call them angry and considered their questions bait. Used the wrong word.

Are you telling me what words to use? Calling someone out on their bs logical inconsistency is against the rules?

I meant that I used the wrong word to describe what you called them.

Ah.

I will admit, the last few months I've been on this subreddit, and similar ones, probably about 6 or 7 times out of 10 when I see your comments its spewing some hate towards a rando.

So do you consider r/r/digital_manipulation to be a private TMOR sub page?

If so, that is not the case.

You asked for people to check out the list of MOD's, and while there is TMOR users, there is also one that is not. Myself.

I'm not sure why you wanted to call out u/Ph03niX on being a mod of other subs, he ran a bunch of subs, and understanding of the workings of digital manipulation was just a hobby of his.

Seems like you have some pretty strong beef with him. No need to call me out over it though.

Thanks for correcting the record.

Seems like they definitely scrubbed it of links.
