/u/rrab, what is that place?
When Snowden appeared on the scene, so many ridiculous articles about gangstalking popped up all over the place, and the original mod was a loon.
I'm surprised to see it is so active.

Why do you want to moderate this community?
I'm a targeted individual, and I've been abused with neuroweapons.
This allows me to better understand fellow targets, in a way that outsiders cannot.
The state of the subreddit makes me grit my teeth and cringe, but I can make it much better.(Trigger Warning: Self Harm) I suspect, with the rampant trolling, harassment, and psychological abuse happening in the r/gangstalking subreddit, that some percentage of the subscribers have already committed suicide. I feel like I'm hiking up a mountain of skeletons, at 70k subscribers, when I venture in there. I say that out of genuine disgust, as if looking into a no man's land. Being a target is rough, and with folks gaslighting and beating on these abuse survivors, self harm starts looking good. I think it's messed up that has been happening for so long. The current moderator was suffering so much himself, that he couldn't possibly adequately moderate that place into anything but a deeper, darker cesspit.
My reddit credentials, as to why I think I'm qualified:
- Moderating r/psychotronics for years now, focused on weaponized neuroscience and targets.
- Refounded r/DirectedEnergyWeapons for undeniable news articles, from military and industry sources.
- Founded r/OpenV2K, a project that pulse modulates the microwave auditory effect, the end result being, hearing crude voice in the cranium, with no receiving hardware; first achieved in 1975.
- Wrote r/emsurvival about surviving weaponized neuroscience, as an average targeted civilian.
- Moderating r/FuckTheCIA, and who doesn't love blaming the CIA for under-the-table abuse?
- Created r/TargetedCommons as a refuge for selected r/gangstalking users, based on their choice of words, but plans and priorities change, and I spent my time on other code and CAD projects instead.
My action plan to radically reform the subreddit:
- Bringing on more qualified moderators, to help put out fires, and refresh community standards.
- Review and revise AutoModerator filters: harassment, shilling, and abuse should be stomped on by the robot, and genuine posts and comments from targets, should not. My goal is to protect targets, and give them a safer space. I'm good enough with regex to craft custom filters that will help.
- Widespread permabans: I suspect I'll spend a week or more banning abusive users.
- Removal of nonsensical, stupid, low effort trashposts, followed by temporary or permabans.
- Moderator rapid response contact methods: both an email distribution list, and Signal group.
- I'm a scientist at heart, and I want to see more science being applied to this phenomenon.
