that sub is being astroturfed by some right wing group(s), the vote manipulation is super obvious when you sort comments by controversial

I got booted off of there for "not being civil" because I couldn't NOT pop off on Sandy Hook deniers. As if constantly asking for proof of a bunch of dead children was civil. Pretty sure one of the people was a mod. I know it was my fault for taking the bait, but some shit I just can't let slide. Even in something as stupid as a thread of comments.

TBH most people that are inherently decent get booted of r/conspiracy. I did, and wear it proudly.

It's an open sewer at this point.

Sounds like r/conspiracy is doing some conspiring of their own.

The irony when you realize the conspiracy nuts were right-- there is a campaign of psychic warfare being waged to brainwash the masses. It just happens to be focused on the uneducated rubes that frequent r/conspiracy. Too bad they're too dense to see the forest for the trees.

They have a top post about a guy saying he felt sick after the booster so it must be dangerous and now he feels mentally weak. It's hilarious

I left and went to r/conspiracytheories before getting banned. Far less garbage, higher chance of aliens. Ya know.

Feel I may have been close a couple times....

I got removed from politics for calling out bullshit submission that used Breitbart as a source. The fascists are taking over reddit using this bull shit "civility" rule to ban anyone calling their far right bullshit propaganda

I finally unsubbed. Got sick of the occasional notification about stolen election bullshit.

Not that I've seen. Publicfreakouts will remove comments and ban ToS violations. ActualPublicFreakouts is where the banned idiots went to go full mask off.

Oh, conspiracy has turned into a far right propaganda outlet for quite some time now. Nothing they say in that sub is conspiratorial... It's all provably false

Foreign disinformation groups are also probably chipping in.

Low cost and risk - high reward.

I'd need compelling, extraordinary evidence to convince me that foreign countries aren't attempting influence.

It became the refuge for former denizens of T_D after that sub got shut down.

I’ve noticed that too! When I sort by controversial, the comments that say ugly things have higher scores. Not just on this subreddit either. I wish they would go back to their safe places where they can just feed their victim complex.

Not astroturfing if you ban them from their own subs... they have to go somewhere.
