Important
Modding
Off-Topic
Subreddits

I thought we were waiting until Monday to know which subs are participating so we can start all at once(edited)
If we started now only like 5 subs would be participating and wouldn’t have much of an immediate impact
Also, I typed this out before but the message didn’t send for some odd reason. My idea was that we could possibly try starting a new subreddit all about banning COVID misinformation subreddits and use this event as leverage for it?
Just so the conversation doesn’t die down immediately in case the shutdown doesn’t work
maybe r/NoNewNormalBan or something
ok I’m out, cya

maybe r/NoNewNormalBan or something

Just for new users who are confused about the shutdown

Yeah. When he was removed, red (the admin) put everyone back in their original places on the mod list. But considering that all the mods I put in charge had gone behind my back, myself and the new top mod left. And I'm so sorry if this sounds petty - I'm really not upset about it.

I think if you guys cant get multiple major subs down this will achieve nothing
forestfire140605-Aug-21 02:18 PM
From what I've seen N8 is actually respected and well known by the admins so the best chance we have for it to work will be if he does it
Merari0105-Aug-21 02:19 PM
I agree with mega. Has anyone contacted r/science
forestfire140605-Aug-21 02:19 PM

N8
Robo-Guardian05-Aug-21 02:20 PM
N8!
n8 is the best candidate
NoahBM05-Aug-21 02:20 PM
@Merari01 could you please write a message explaining why NNN is spreading factual misinformation and not just opinions? For example on that 99.7% thing?
i'll post a writeup before I announce anything. right now I want to give the admins one final chance to respond. seb is more than welcome to take point if he wants though.
right now, if the admins check my profile, they'll see that we're gearing up. hopefully they get ahead of this and just ban NNN.

If we invite awkward he needs to not show involvement
Blat05-Aug-21 02:46 PM
Not have the two chats merge
That would be a disaster
davis_schina05-Aug-21 02:46 PM
I don't think we should because that could get the users against us

Blackout a day or two later
N8theGr805-Aug-21 02:56 PM
subs will be way way more amenable to stickies than blacking out. we'll have way more on our side if we go this route first.

restrict your subreddit for like 4-6 hours, then make the post. force your sub to become "stale" so that the post you make will be more likely to go viral.

The plan is 1) Point out on the usual places that there is an issue. There is already a modsupport thread. 1b Take subreddits restricted for a limited amount of time to force our threads about covid disinformation to the top, to r/all when we post them and re-open. 2) If at all possible, get media attention. 3) take subs dark

NoahBM05-Aug-21 03:25 PM
i don't agree with giving reddit the authority to decide what counts as misinformation
...
users do not give a shit whether sub X is banned or not
...
i don't understand why people want every sub they don't like to get banned
they don't realize any power they give to admins will get used on them sooner or later
like why is it so hard to just not look at things that upset you
...
second of all you are unilaterally declaring "this place has misinformation"
from their perspective you are promoting misinformation
and neither of you has any more right to correctness than the other
TheSebtacular05-Aug-21 03:25 PM

Even use the extreme right against itself. Post to WRD on an alt, if anyone has an active alt so it doesnt look suspicious
TheSebtacular05-Aug-21 03:36 PM
When should we go public to more mods
I don't believe this has gotten out yet
Merari0105-Aug-21 03:36 PM
When it comes to this there isn't any such thing as bad noise
r/conspiracy might be broad enough that it'd be a mistake to include them
TheSebtacular05-Aug-21 03:49 PM
The question is r/conservative
One thing we need to do is get Reddit to say yes to increasing regulations
Merari0105-Aug-21 03:49 PM
We can identify tiers
Main tier of disinformation: NNN
Secondary tier, signal boosting of main tier: Conspiracy
TheSebtacular05-Aug-21 03:50 PM
Third tier, misleading but less dangerous: Conservative
Merari0105-Aug-21 03:51 PM
That way we can include many different vectors but still maintain intellectual integrity.

Merari0105-Aug-21 04:03 PM
What's important is eyes on this. To achieve that it is already very helpful if a sticky is posted. If that sticky could be pushed to the front page by temporarily restricting the sub before posting it, great. Going dark helps too. But at the core of this lies that the more participation we have, the better chance we have of achieving anything. Which means that just a sticky alone already is very helpful

pics and aww make up for a good amount of reddits traffic
typically, you don't open a negotiation with threats. you open by asking nicely. then you escalate a little. if you do x, we'll do y. if you don't do z, we'll do a/b/c.
an information campaign where we all sticky the same thing is a great first step. it shows that we're organized enough to coordinate. then the media gets involved "wow, all of reddit's mods are pissed at reddit" or something. then we just go dark and take a vacation until it's resolved.

We were wondering if you would be interested in participating

FlyingDutchman (Cas)05-Aug-21 04:54 PM
Quarantining will give reddit less incentive to keep it up cause they won’t make any money from it
NoahBM
Well. Quarantine kills subreddits
SecretAgentIceBat05-Aug-21 04:55 PM

forestfire140605-Aug-21 04:57 PM
pretty much
conalfisher05-Aug-21 04:57 PM
My fear is that they just won't care. I mean, the last private protest was only a few months ago. And the last successful one before that was literally years ago. They might just force us back up.

conalfisher05-Aug-21 04:58 PM
If they see a pattern forming where they think we're just going to go private for every thing we disagree with (even if that's not the case, just if that's what they think) then they may just start suspending people.

What sub got you here
TheSebtacular
Most likely defaults currently are TIFU, upliftingnews, aww, LPT
conalfisher05-Aug-21 05:02 PM
And no offense (I'm literally a mod of one) but these defaults are simply not important ones on Reddit. If some of the larger ones like /r/news, /r/funny, etc, were to hop on, then that'd be large. But as it stands now it'll be seen less as Reddit protesting NNN, and more like a few random disgruntled mods protesting NNN. I don't think they'd hesitate to suspend the big powermods involved. Which is those powermods' decision of course, but I think if they get booted then this whole thing could just fall apart.

Its a sub that spreads misinformation about covid-19, admins told us about a year ago that they would prevent the spread of misinformation around covid and they have failed to do so. We are trying to put a stop to it, and if worse comes to worse, private subreddits. Hopefully it never comes to that but we want to see how many people we can get onboard

Look, if some large defaults get involved I'll throw some of my subs into the mix. But I don't think they will, and I think as it stands this whole thing will be seen as reactionary. Like it or not, the last private protest was absolutely reactionary. The admins backed down then, I don't think they'd be interested in backing down now.

Media_Offline05-Aug-21 05:09 PM
I have never taken a sub dark before. When doing so, are you able to post a message indicating WHY the sub has gone private? If not, it seems a bit pointless because people will have to make posts asking around about "what's going on with subs going dark?"
mega05-Aug-21 05:09 PM
But I'm not blank so it's not like I know how the guy thinks
conalfisher05-Aug-21 05:09 PM
Look at it from the admin's perspective. To them, this will set a precedent that the moderators of Reddit can pressure them into doing anything that they want them to do, by holding their subs hostage in one way or another. Is that the case? Not entirely, but it'll seem that way to the wider Reddit audience, and to the admins. Never mind ruining any good faith mods have with them (which is already very little, admittedly), but I get the feeling that they'll just straight up force us all out over time.
I think getting the media attention should be step 1.
If that goes down, then sticky, then, and only then, private.
BelleAriel05-Aug-21 05:09 PM
This is too fast for me to read sorry
TheSebtacular05-Aug-21 05:10 PM

Merari0105-Aug-21 05:10 PM
@Media_Offline Yes. On the splash page of the sub you can post a message. It is also possible to restrict a subreddit so it can still be seen but not posted to. And it is possible to disable access requests for both private and restricted mode

i don't agree with giving reddit the authority to decide what counts as misinformation
...
users do not give a shit whether sub X is banned or not
...
i don't understand why people want every sub they don't like to get banned
they don't realize any power they give to admins will get used on them sooner or later
like why is it so hard to just not look at things that upset you
...
second of all you are unilaterally declaring "this place has misinformation"
from their perspective you are promoting misinformation
and neither of you has any more right to correctness than the other

Its a definite possibility to give an interview. "This is why we have all these stickied posts"

As is the case in media today, the headline is the most important bit. If people get riled up over NNN, that's what matters.
Having things to point to is secondary really.

I don't want to come off as contrarian because when it comes down to it I agree with pretty much everything you're all saying and doing, but... Please make sure you're not all rushing into this too quickly. It was like 12 hours ago that I heard any mention of a private protest at all on /r/TIFU and already there's a huge plan and ideas of contacting media outlets. We're doing the thing that Reddit always does, even if it'd probably work out, this is the kind of thing that should be meticulously planned out beforehand. Just... Take a week to get everything organised. We don't need to kill Reddit tomorrow. In that week try and apply pressure to the admins in other ways, hell, maybe they'll ban NNN themselves, they did MGTOW there out of nowhere. Regardless, just take a moment to make sure you're not rushing into this with hot heads, and think it all out.

That sounds good. We do need an official timeframe though
conalfisher05-Aug-21 05:25 PM
For what it's worth, I could feature NNN on /r/Subredditoftheday. We've been dead for a while, but we could still have some sway, and our controversial features have gotten news attention before.
TheSebtacular05-Aug-21 05:26 PM
That could maybe do something. Would need to specify it’s negative though
forestfire140605-Aug-21 05:26 PM
Allowing time for admins to react as well. Noah is in talks with admins and hopefully we can close NNN without having to private

outlets. We're doing the thing that Reddit always does, even if it'd
probably work out, this is the kind of thing that should be meticulously
planned out beforehand. Just... Take a week to get everything
organised. We don't need to kill Reddit tomorrow. In that week try and
apply pressure to the admins in other ways, hell, maybe they'll ban NNN
themselves, they did MGTOW there out of nowhere. Regardless, just take a
moment to make sure you're not rushing into this with hot heads, and
think it all out.
Merari0105-Aug-21 05:27 PM
You're right
TheSebtacular
That sounds good. We do need an official timeframe though
forestfire140605-Aug-21 05:27 PM
How are you thinking of doing this?
TheSebtacular05-Aug-21 05:27 PM
Coming up with the timeframe?
forestfire140605-Aug-21 05:28 PM
Yeah
Merari0105-Aug-21 05:28 PM
We do need to carefully plan this out and not rush it. We have time. If we only start with this 2 weeks from now we have plenty of time to be meticulous
forestfire140605-Aug-21 05:29 PM
Thats what I was thinking
conalfisher05-Aug-21 05:29 PM
Yeah, I feel even next Monday is too soon honestly.
forestfire140605-Aug-21 05:29 PM
thats 4 days
seems plenty
Merari0105-Aug-21 05:30 PM
1 to 2 weeks
conalfisher05-Aug-21 05:30 PM
I think a week from now is perfect honestly. It's plenty of time to get this spread out across Reddit, outside of this relatively small mod sphere.
Media_Offline05-Aug-21 05:30 PM
I agree with what everyone is saying about raising awareness via stickies first. To me, that will be paramount in this. Many users like myself subscribe to the subreddits we like and don't get exposed to the dregs of reddit. I had never heard of NNN until today and I am disgusted by what I saw there.
Merari0105-Aug-21 05:31 PM
Get people on board. Write material. Make a good gameplan so it won't just all be chaotic. One thing that is needed is that the stickies we post contain sources to the actual science of this issue. How vaccines work. Why masks work

SecretAgentIceBat05-Aug-21 06:19 PM
Technically didn’t, it was created for the MERS outbreak
Yes, so. Came here from the virus angle. Obviously not especially attuned to matters of modding, like whatever just happened here.

lovememychem05-Aug-21 06:32 PM
Alright, let me spell this out as clearly as possible.
Merari0105-Aug-21 06:32 PM
Can we get on topic
lovememychem05-Aug-21 06:33 PM
There was clearly an issue with one of hte people organizing this thing sufficiently big that it immediately drove someone away. If you would like us to associate with you, then we need to know what that issue is before making that decision.
1
If you do not view that as "on topic," then that is a sufficiently clear statement to us.
Merari0105-Aug-21 06:35 PM
You don't need to know offtopic nonsense. This initiative is important. Conal will be back in here tomorrow. He'll still participate, sticky posts. We talked
forestfire140605-Aug-21 06:35 PM
I think this is being blown out of proportion, there is no problem with anyone. We want to work with you guys to make this protest as effective as possible.
N8theGr805-Aug-21 06:36 PM
isn't the issue just that dio used to be a mod on r/subredditcancer, but then quit?
Thryloz05-Aug-21 06:36 PM
If we can get u/BritishEnglishPolice it would be big
Merari0105-Aug-21 06:36 PM
Dio is not a redditor
N8theGr805-Aug-21 06:36 PM
does BEP really do anything on reddit anymore?

SecretAgentIceBat05-Aug-21 06:38 PM
Alright, well. Please feel free to let us know when y’all have figured something out.
This is not really our element, as you can tell
forestfire140605-Aug-21 06:39 PM
We do also need contribution from mods at r/C as it does rely on you as well
Merari0105-Aug-21 06:40 PM
Its also irrelevant. Dio does not have a reddit account. The important bit is that reddit functions as a covid disinfo hub and that it is overwhelming my mod teams. There is so much on so many different levels that it is next to impossible to moderate against.
This is an admin level issue. Admins said they'd act against covid disinformation and they dont
dio05-Aug-21 06:41 PM
i can leave it is really that big of an issue
SecretAgentIceBat05-Aug-21 06:41 PM
You won’t get any disagreement from us there, I promise we deal with it more than anyone else on the website. Please let us know what we can do when the initiative becomes more clear.
I can’t speak for others, but I’m happy to help as I can.
N8theGr805-Aug-21 06:42 PM
So here's what we're doing, to the best of my knowledge:
dio05-Aug-21 06:42 PM
the important part is that reddit takes action against NNN
N8theGr805-Aug-21 06:43 PM
1. write an open letter to the admins detailing how we're dissatisfied with their inaction against disinfo subs, 2. post it to r/coronavirus (hopefully), 3. all the other participating subs crosspost from r/C to their own subs and sticky it. this will drive traffic to r/C and hopefully garner media attention. if it doesn't, then we'll just reach out.
as a final option, some subreddits are willing to go private over this issue.
1
i posted a draft letter to r/n8thegr8, and added all of the r/C mods as approved submitters. it's not in its final state, it's just a start

Merari0105-Aug-21 06:46 PM
Yes. The more subreddits we can get to sticky a link to the main post the better. The post should be in 2 parts. First, explaining where the dissatisfaction lies. Politely explain how overwhelmed we are and why it is dangerous to let this sort of propaganda go unchecked
Second, sources. Explain how and why vaccines work. Explain how and why masks work. Link to source material
SecretAgentIceBat05-Aug-21 06:48 PM
I already said we don’t want to be a hub, by the way.
Merari01

forestfire140605-Aug-21 06:48 PM
I'm sure CDC will have loads of info on that
Merari0105-Aug-21 06:49 PM
Be as neutral and factual as possible. It will be attacked bit the less obvious hooks we give to latch an attack on the better. So, no mention of how this is politically motivated even though it is
SecretAgentIceBat05-Aug-21 06:49 PM
But I’d be happy to help with sourcing, and we already have plenty available on the Wiki and two FAQs
Merari0105-Aug-21 06:49 PM
Maybe OOTL could be the main hub? It should be a sub appropriate for it
forestfire140605-Aug-21 06:50 PM
What about r/vaxxhappened, merari ik that your a mod there

Vaxxhappened is a participant. We are very much over the constant need to be on guard against these people
Merari01

forestfire140605-Aug-21 06:52 PM
They commented on N8's mod support post and seemed in support of the idea
Wether they'd want to be a hub for all of this is obviously different
But a good start
SecretAgentIceBat05-Aug-21 06:53 PM
Do you need a hub?
forestfire140605-Aug-21 06:53 PM
I think its better to have one, yes
And it also needs to be a relevant sub
Merari0105-Aug-21 06:54 PM
If all else fails we create a sub for it. We can drive traffic to it via our stickies. It is possible to get our stickies to appear on /all. Some subs I'm on can temporarily restrict posts so the first post made when we open will shoot up
mega05-Aug-21 06:55 PM
SRD could be a hub if someone posts a thing about subs protesting
Merari0105-Aug-21 06:55 PM
Tifu is a candidate for that, it has the numbers. I could do it on LPT though as a last resort
dio05-Aug-21 06:55 PM
SRDines
why not just a general covid sub
NoahBM05-Aug-21 06:56 PM
vaxxhappened is pretty fitting imo
dio05-Aug-21 06:56 PM
or, even better, a new sub made for the protest
N8theGr805-Aug-21 07:00 PM
I really think it should be a coronavirus type sub. If r/coronavirus which is basically the central source of information on reddit about the pandemic doesn't want to participate, then does anyone else have any ideas? Mabye r/covid19 or whatever it's called?
1
OOTL won't be the hub, they'll just report on the happenings. it doesn't make sense for r/tifu to be the hub(edited)
I can easily use r/tifu as a vehicle to hit r/all. I've done it before with other posts.
Merari0105-Aug-21 07:07 PM
We can create a sub to be a hub. Link all our stickies to the main post there. (Lock the cross posts maybe) push some of them to /all. That will force attention to the central sub we created
Then we can show media that lots of subs have had it with the constant deluge of nonsense
forestfire140605-Aug-21 07:09 PM
I've messaged the mods of r/COVID to see if they'll hand it over but I'm not sure
NoahBM05-Aug-21 07:10 PM

a post
N8theGr805-Aug-21 07:16 PM
We're going to be writing an open letter to the admins about their lack of action on covid misinformation, explain how it's causing extra work for the mods and contributing to the pandemic, and that we're fed up with it overall.
Then we're looking for other subreddits to crosspost and sticky that to their subreddits, similar to how AHS made an open letter about BLM last year.

I'm kind of split on this topic. After all the dumb shit admins have done I kind of find it contradictory to ask them to ban people. You know how incompetent they are and I'm just not sure

Reddit Admins are rarted threatening subs for not actioning covid misinformation but perpetuating it on the site with denier subs. Either remove that sub or edit their sitewide rules. I don't give a fuck either way.
TheSebtacular06-Aug-21 01:54 AM
Both of those are kinda our goal
We just want them to pull it together
DOGSHOT06-Aug-21 01:54 AM
They can go out and pay for more admins out of their own pocket to comb our content instead of relying on mods to keep their advertisers happy.
TheSebtacular06-Aug-21 01:55 AM
What I do think would be a good idea
Is contacting advertisers
Asking them if they want their ad next to explicit anti-vax propaganda

Merari0106-Aug-21 02:11 AM
A few years ago I started the Sleeping Giants initiative on reddit. It's a campaign that elsewhere had success by showing advertisers just exactly what kind of hate was seen next to their advertisements(edited)
TheSebtacular06-Aug-21 02:12 AM
I should just encourage my subs to be crazy racist
Merari0106-Aug-21 02:12 AM
Reddits response to us creating the subreddit and starting to showcase hateful posts next to advertisements was simple
They turned off t_D's ability to have ads at all
Please stop posting memes

Disappointed the news leaked a bit early but the bigger the bucket the mods holes
Merari0106-Aug-21 02:52 AM
In general: Admins do not socialise with users in a way that blurs the line between us all as people and their jobs v. our opinions of the platform
They keep their professional and private lives seperate. So if there were admins on that server they wouldn't answer questions about this

I like the idea of partially closing the subs, but controlling it tightly while educational ads, talks, scientific presentations are posted on the participating subs. It's positive and let's the typical users participate instead of just being block. Say there were percussions because subs blocked access, but doing it this way works better. who fight science. anyhoo. sleepy. thanks for listening

Got to say, this comment made me laugh. It's been 1 year since NNN has been on Reddit, which means 1 year of misinformation being spread on Reddit that could potentially be harmful to people (or could have already harmed someone). Multiple threads have been made on a bunch of subreddits throughout the past year, and it's still an active sub on Reddit. You've banned so many big subs, whats stopping your team from banning NNN?
N8theGr806-Aug-21 12:34 PM
This is what I ended up saying.
We were content to just sit back and let subreddits get brigaded and rampant misinformation go unchecked while it appeared that the pandemic had almost run its course, but cases are ramping up again, and quickly. Please don't allow this company to continue to be complicit in more deaths.

we haven't fully settled on which subreddit will post the initial open letter to the admins that we're working on. Do you think AHS would want to be one of the potential locations? Seems like a good spot, given their theme.

N8theGr806-Aug-21 01:05 PM
Basically we're going to just emulate what AHS did for BLM last year. We're penning an open letter to the admins right now (I added you to r/n8thegr8 so you could see the half assed attempt I made so far), then we're getting subs to participate with stickying it to their subs. We need to find a source/hub subreddit to post the initial letter. Strongest pick at the moment is r/vaxxhappened. Then we're looking to get the media involved, whether we reach out and inform them, or if someone from the media just happens to find it on their own.
As a final option, if there is still no admin response, some subreddits are willing to go private over it.(edited)
TheSebtacular06-Aug-21 01:06 PM
Oh issue with AHS is it is crazy controversial
I like the sub to be clear
N8theGr806-Aug-21 01:07 PM
on one hand, vaccines and racism shouldn't be political, but on the other hand they are.
It's both a weakness and a strength that AHS is as controversial as it is.
TheSebtacular06-Aug-21 01:08 PM
Agreed
I think the best course of action would be making a sub
“We don’t actually use Reddit so how could we have possibly known?”
N8theGr806-Aug-21 01:22 PM
Unfortunately they only consider it to be brigading when someone says "everyone go comment in this thread". They don't consider it brigading when someone says "lol look at these dummies" even if the thread gets flooded.(edited)

AHS is controversial whether you believe it or not, but it's controversial along pretty much the same lines that the vaccine is controversial, so it's not really as much of a hindrance here.
Merari0106-Aug-21 01:54 PM
Its on the level of saying that Hillary is a bad candidate because the extreme right has spent 30 years making up nonsense about her and screaming that from the rooftops. Giving in to that is giving people with bad intentions too much power.

Also avoid implying that dumb rednecks and crunchy yoga moms are the sole drivers behind anti-vaxxing.
N8theGr806-Aug-21 01:57 PM
I think the main point in that regard is the fact that if rich white men are getting the vaccine now, then it ought to be less of a concern
Merari0106-Aug-21 01:57 PM
In general I believe we should be careful not to give detractors any handle they can latch on to with which they can undermine this initiative. Explicitly naming such a thing could lead to giving them too much power
It might be better to keep it completely neutral. it is for example a fact that the disinformation comes from the extreme right, because they now identify as in automatic opposition to what Democrats say. But naming that gives them a handle to use
N8theGr806-Aug-21 01:59 PM
yeah, I wouldn't make this a right vs left issue, but a science vs pseudoscience maybe, or just facts vs not facts
Merari0106-Aug-21 01:59 PM
So it might just be better to not go into political or sociological motives and facts. Just say: "This is why vaccines work" and "this is why mask work" "here are sources"
And say "This disinformation is endangering lives. Here are sources"

Oh, and add vaccine hesitancy to your vocabs. It's distinct from anti-vaccination and we don't wanna claim people who are genuinely weary of doctors, healthcare or shots are the same as the anti-vaxxers. anti-vaxxers are political.

if I'm understnading what you mean correctly
Merari0106-Aug-21 02:02 PM
Good point. It's important to use the correct terminology. Again this goes towards not giving the opposition an in. If you say "hesistancy" they can't counter as easily with "we are not anti vaxx"
WorseThanHipster06-Aug-21 02:03 PM
Yes. Vaccine hesitant is a large, but quite, group of people, and that is where anti-vaxxers are spreading propaganda to.

they are a significant portion of folks not vaccinated already. Black folk mostly fall into this group. Notice not a lot of vocal POC anti-vaxxers despite poor turnout.
hesitant can be convinced.

Which isn't at all surprising given the historical track record of the US and government organised medical initiatives towards minorities
WorseThanHipster06-Aug-21 02:05 PM
anti-vaxxers are... well "You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into"
I think though that adressing this in our open letter is giving too much power to detractors. It gives them something to latch on to.

I think it's good to address the fact that not everyone is motivated by fake news.

Merari0106-Aug-21 02:10 PM
It might be good to keep it as clean as possible. Little derivation from the main point. We don't need to name who is behind this at all, just that it exists and is dangerous
WorseThanHipster
I just suggest not implying everyone who is antivxx is a cousin fucking acolyte of orange julius
BelleAriel06-Aug-21 02:11 PM
Why not? I hate anti vaxxers. They’re selfish idiots
WorseThanHipster06-Aug-21 02:11 PM
I think it comes accross as honest & transparent to point out that a small part of the problem is poor/lopsided outreach from officials & medical industry.
Just a sentence, like a nod to.
Merari0106-Aug-21 02:12 PM
Belle, because we don't want to give the opposition anything they can use as a wedge topic to undermine what we are doing
A dependent clause can't hurt
WorseThanHipster06-Aug-21 02:12 PM
I think in letters like this it's good to put something the people you're trying to reach can agree on with you.

Ok

WorseThanHipster06-Aug-21 02:15 PM
This is an appeal to the admins, right? So we want to appeal to them a tiny bit, which means no insulting demographics.
They aren't even going to pop in for a comment if you bash conservatives directly. They will ignore.
Merari0106-Aug-21 02:15 PM
Agreed
WorseThanHipster06-Aug-21 02:17 PM
On that note, I would also avoid bringing up Trump at all.
BelleAriel06-Aug-21 02:18 PM
Yeah
WorseThanHipster06-Aug-21 02:19 PM
I do get staying on point though, usually if I want to sidebar I'll make one thought provoking sentence and include multiple links via markdown.
Merari0106-Aug-21 02:19 PM
Yes. Nothing about politics or sociopolitical factors. Just the clean facts. Just "It is being said that this vaccine does not work/ cannot be trusted. Here are sources showing this is not true" and "People are being convinced to take a horse dewormer. Here are sources showing a known possible sideeffect of ivermectin is death"(edited)
WorseThanHipster06-Aug-21 02:20 PM
I think pointing out that there are political & economic motivations behind the purveyors of fake news is ok.
BelleAriel06-Aug-21 02:20 PM
Yes cause these anti vaxxwers are republicans. So mentioning politics will create drama
WorseThanHipster06-Aug-21 02:21 PM
Anything you look up about anti-vaxxers pre-pandemic will be centered around crunchy liberal white women.
just keep that in mind. They laid the groundwork, they vetted talking points for over a decade.
This is an appeal to the admins, right? So we want to appeal to them a tiny bit, which means no insulting demographics.
BelleAriel06-Aug-21 02:30 PM
That makes sense
Its frustrating how much covid has been politicised
Malachi_Noel306-Aug-21 02:32 PM
We should do this within the next few days
We have enough subs to start
BelleAriel06-Aug-21 02:33 PM
We need to all be in consensus before we go public
Malachi_Noel306-Aug-21 02:33 PM
Yeah
TheSebtacular06-Aug-21 02:38 PM
We need the written thingy to be done
N8theGr806-Aug-21 02:41 PM
I think posting it monday or tuesday is the best time.
fewer people paying attention on the weekend
TheSebtacular06-Aug-21 02:41 PM
Then comes the question of how long should we wait until we shut down
N8theGr806-Aug-21 02:43 PM
at least a week, I'd say
TheSebtacular
We need the written thingy to be done
WorseThanHipster06-Aug-21 02:43 PM
yes, sketch something out as a conversation starter. Smoshing ideas ahead of time without even knowing the format or size of the canvas is, not super productive.
TheSebtacular06-Aug-21 02:43 PM
The main concern I have is keeping everyone together
N8theGr806-Aug-21 02:43 PM
we'll want the media to get involved, then we post the media articles back to reddit everywhere we can
Malachi_Noel306-Aug-21 02:44 PM
How about this: we pin the messages on Monday. If there is no response, we private the monday after that
TheSebtacular06-Aug-21 02:45 PM
That's good for time keeping
Malachi_Noel306-Aug-21 02:45 PM
pin on August 9th, shut down on August 16
TheSebtacular06-Aug-21 02:45 PM
Let's have everything sorted by Sunday. Gives us 2.5 days
WorseThanHipster06-Aug-21 02:45 PM
Eh, i dunno if a shutdown is proper for this.
Malachi_Noel306-Aug-21 02:45 PM
We're only going to shut down if admins ignore everything for a week
TheSebtacular06-Aug-21 02:46 PM
Only posting messages is kinda lame. We need to at least be willing to go further(edited)
Malachi_Noel306-Aug-21 02:46 PM
shutting down takes away money from them
WorseThanHipster06-Aug-21 02:47 PM
Does it?
TheSebtacular06-Aug-21 02:47 PM
Plus is more likely to bring the big news in
WorseThanHipster06-Aug-21 02:47 PM
I feel like I just check reddit more often when there's a shutdown.
But I guess I don't browse as long.
Malachi_Noel306-Aug-21 02:47 PM
Yeah
and you won't be scrolling through subs giving Reddit ad money
Most of Reddit's money comes from ads
WorseThanHipster06-Aug-21 02:49 PM
well i dunno, sometimes I'm glued to SRD or something to get news about the shutdown.
Malachi_Noel306-Aug-21 02:49 PM
Ok, but are you just gonna look at a few posts, or are you going to be constantly scrolling?
TheSebtacular06-Aug-21 02:49 PM

TheSebtacular
I think they're only keeping it around cause people will leave if it's banned
Malachi_Noel306-Aug-21 02:55 PM
That's exactly why we want it banned
so anti-vaxxers leave
N8theGr806-Aug-21 02:55 PM
I just don't want them to have a central repository to rally around
TheSebtacular06-Aug-21 02:55 PM
Yep, Reddit doesn't want that though cause it'll infringe on their precious add revenue
maybesaydie06-Aug-21 02:55 PM
They won't leave, they'll go underground for a while and eventually resurface with new accounts
Malachi_Noel306-Aug-21 02:56 PM
Or move to ruqqus
maybesaydie06-Aug-21 02:56 PM
yes please, go
TheSebtacular06-Aug-21 02:56 PM
Good news is Ruqqus isn't as well known
N8theGr806-Aug-21 02:56 PM
it actually appears like chtorrr is trying to build a case to ban them. everyone please PM her with concrete examples.
TheSebtacular06-Aug-21 02:56 PM
We'll at least hopefully save some lives doing this (And not have to ban as many people)
N8theGr806-Aug-21 02:57 PM
top priority: give chtorrr concrete examples of NNN breaking TOS.
2nd top priroity: get this letter thingy written
Malachi_Noel306-Aug-21 02:57 PM
#nnn-misinformation
TheSebtacular06-Aug-21 02:57 PM
The only NNN post I really remember is them saying the situation in India is fake cause of news organizations reusing pictures
N8theGr806-Aug-21 02:57 PM
honestly, maybe we should wait another full week to post an open letter. I know that I personally will kneejerk in the opposite direction if people start demanding things of me.
TheSebtacular06-Aug-21 02:57 PM
Shitty journalism but that isn't easy to fake
WorseThanHipster06-Aug-21 02:58 PM
Have we collected all public statements by admins regarding their stance on "fake-news" "misinformation" etc?

Merari0106-Aug-21 02:58 PM
Subreddits can decide among their own team their level of participation. If a sub just wants to sticky the post, that's fine. If a sub wants to go private, that's fine too.
TheSebtacular06-Aug-21 02:59 PM
I do believe the subs in #subreddits-participating are all willing to private

WorseThanHipster06-Aug-21 03:08 PM
Is there something I can give to other subs to see if they are in?
a copy pasta or soemthing?

r/covidonreddit
Malachi_Noel306-Aug-21 03:14 PM

or is it just for Coronavirus mods?(edited)
Merari0106-Aug-21 03:15 PM
Please invite me there
WorseThanHipster06-Aug-21 03:16 PM
When talking to my subs, the letter will be finalized sunday night? Monday morning?
Malachi_Noel306-Aug-21 03:17 PM
That's the plan
WorseThanHipster06-Aug-21 03:17 PM
I think a primary concern of people who are considering it is that they can vet the final letter before it's posted with them included.
N8theGr806-Aug-21 03:19 PM
i'll work on the letter a bit more
I was hoping for more concrete feedback
Malachi_Noel306-Aug-21 03:19 PM
You only added Coronavirus mods to your sub, so your feedback was going to be limited from the start(edited)
N8theGr806-Aug-21 03:20 PM
this is the extent of what I've written
Everyone on this planet has been affected by the SARS-Cov-2/Coronavirus/Covid-19 pandemic. You may have been in lockdown, you may have been forced to work under some form of duress, you may have lost a loved one to the disease, you may be left with an ailment that will stay with you for the rest of your life, you may have found that regular food, housing, and/or medical care is less attainable or more expensive now.
>
We could have been out from under this shadow months ago, but the issue became politicized. It didn't need to be but that's where we are. There are those who deny that the pandemic even exists, there are those who think that wearing a mask will literally suffocate you, there are those who think it's no worse than a regular flu virus.
We are now acting together to call on the admins to take ownership of their website and the remove dangerous medical misinformation that is contributing to the existence of this ongoing pandemic.
>
The following subreddits must, at a minimum, be quarantined:
>
* r/nonewnormal
>
* r/ivermectin
i'll move this to #writing
i'm going to batch-add all the sub mods who are interested to r/covidonreddit
GetOffMyLawn06-Aug-21 03:27 PM
I banned a guy from vaxxhappened and he's followed me to the modsupport thread and is arguing his covidiocy there. I reported his posts in more ways then one and pinged chtorrr so she can see a concrete example of the crap we deal with.

You should go delete all your posts in NNN otherwise you'll get banned again. There are a few different bots banning for it.

N8theGr806-Aug-21 07:17 PM
gets the last 1000 comments from NNN, gets the usernames from that and puts them into a list, removes duplicates from the list, goes through every subreddit that my bot mods and if they're not already banned from that sub, it bans them
but I have 5 bots running on 7 subreddits each
WorseThanHipster06-Aug-21 07:17 PM
it uses a DB of some sort, no? It's clearly holding onto that list for a while.
N8theGr806-Aug-21 07:18 PM
no db, it just takes about 10 min to ban everyone from subreddit1, and then moves on to subreddit2. each sweep takes just over an hour because it's a Pi Zero and kinda slow.
also banning someone is kinda slow to begin with, so it's just kinda slow overall.
WorseThanHipster06-Aug-21 07:19 PM
oh. so you'd have to hardcode a whitelist at the moment. I could help integrate a DB too. sqlite/mysql would be perfect.
N8theGr806-Aug-21 07:19 PM
yeah, I know how to integrate a db, I just didn't really feel like figuring it out for python.
WorseThanHipster06-Aug-21 07:19 PM
of all the optimations reddit has done they should put osme work into banning
that shit should be lightning fast.
Well a json parser is easy, you already got that.
Have it read messages for json for whitelist
store it in a wiki in a private sub

Monday should be good for the posting though maybe we can wait a bit to
see how many subs we can get aboard. I am not impressed with the
participation list, I must say
TheSebtacular07-Aug-21 07:56 PM
We have a few subreddits on hold for it I believe
Coronavirus I think is in that though I'm not 100% sure(edited)
Wrote a program to quickly check if a sub has any admins on it
Merari0107-Aug-21 08:00 PM
Posting a link to the main sticky is the most important thing
If we can push that to /all of a handful of subs were good
TheSebtacular07-Aug-21 08:01 PM
Absolutely. Plus we just need subs showing support
If Reddit thinks they'll shut down it has an effect
Sent a modmail to r/politics

We’re not going dark.
TheSebtacular07-Aug-21 08:12 PM
Will you be pinning?
lovememychem07-Aug-21 08:13 PM
Yeah, so just to make sure we’re all on the same page — if we feel it’s appropriate at the right time, we may put something up that’s pointing to good sources of information and debunking misconceptions with data, etc.
It is highly unlikely we’ll be pinning anything specifically referencing other subreddits — in no small part (though not solely) because we don’t want to drive traffic there, nor do we want to really do their advertising for them.
TheSebtacular07-Aug-21 08:16 PM
What if we made something not mentioning the subreddits by name and just a general denouncement of Reddit's response?
Merari0107-Aug-21 08:16 PM
Just posting a thread which in general terms points out that the levels of disinformation on reddit are dangerous and can convince people to take actions or refrain from taking actions which result in negative consequences to their health up to and including death can help
lovememychem07-Aug-21 08:16 PM
Sorry, we’re pretty firm on this one — we aren’t going to make this about meta commentary on Reddit. If we pin anything, it’s going to be about the science and the data on the virus and the vaccines.(edited)
Merari0107-Aug-21 08:16 PM
Good, we need that
TheSebtacular07-Aug-21 08:17 PM
That's understandable
Merari0107-Aug-21 08:18 PM
You don't need to point to specific subreddits. A problem on reddit currently is the level of anti-scientific propaganda
It would help to explain why this is harmful.(edited)

If you really want them gone you might have to be the bad guy
Moderation kicked up since my post there
Merari0107-Aug-21 08:22 PM
The important thing is we join together to show that enough is enough. The truth is not facultative. People are not entitled to endanger other peoples health
1
So whatever level of participation a subreddit wants to engage in, it is all helpful in showing that a large part of reddit has had enough
Jackass07-Aug-21 08:26 PM
I think locking all posts does more than privating
So people can see why it’s closed
But that’s just me(edited)
Plus it’ll spark conversation
Also make sure to post to all the reaction subs, ahs, drama, etc.
Merari0107-Aug-21 08:28 PM
If you want to, on a sub with decent traffic you can artificially push a post to /all by restricting for several hours, then opening up and immediately posting
The reddit sorting algorithm will see the sudden attention on that post and propel it to /all
Jackass07-Aug-21 08:30 PM
Oh yeah
TheSebtacular07-Aug-21 08:31 PM
Does anyone know a mod at news or worldnews?
They probably shouldn't shutdown but a pinned post would be excellent
Jackass07-Aug-21 08:59 PM
They definitely wouldn’t shut down, iirc they’re closely related to the admins because they don’t want misinfo.
Same with the really large subs.

She did yell at their mods about brigading us and they added the sticky now to not do it, but their mods don't actually enforce it. It's just the misinformation now. I mean literally every post on their frontpage is verifiably untrue and starting to turn into advocating for violence in the streets.
This sort of stuff is what they used to can T_D so... Why not now?

Soren mods some pretty big Covid related subs, if that's their actual discord
The discord account was made today so
TheSebtacular10-Aug-21 02:40 AM
I’m just a bit cautious as they don’t share any mod servers with me
step 1 is to write an open letter to the admins about our dissatisfaction with how they've handled misinformation. 1 subreddit will post, and others will crosspost. Restricting your subreddit for half a day or longer will allow the post to gain traction on r/all. timeframe is to post between this monday and next.
>
step 2 is get the media to notice. then post any articles about the issue back to reddit. timeframe is at least an additional week.
>
step 3 is a potential blackout if the admins still have no response. timeframe is 2-3 weeks, if no response.

probably a few days to a week. dubteedub said that when he posted the AHS post about BLM, it took them almost two weeks to get enough subreddits willing to participate.
hwhouston51710-Aug-21 01:12 PM
Today I’m free. I’ve said this like 5 times already but I’ll try getting some more subs to participate.
dooodaaad10-Aug-21 01:13 PM
What are we gonna be asking the admins to do? I'm thinking
- Require subreddits (over 50k members?) to actively monitor for misinformation and remove it within 24 hours
- put a warning on subreddits where anti vax information is prominent
- and maybe automatically flag links from websites that are known to be full of misinformation?
We have to be more specific then hurr durr misinformation is bad(edited)

This is honestly too much to ask IMO
Reddit banks off of unpaid work and and they like to do as little as possible

All but the first sound good. Admins have never required mods to do something, and that is a power I'd be worried about them having
JackieSus10-Aug-21 01:18 PM
Doing this will just make the moderators jobs a lot harder

dooodaaad10-Aug-21 01:20 PM
maybe just change it to "require subreddits to activley monitor for and remove misinformation"?
tbh that seems pretty reasonable
JackieSus10-Aug-21 01:23 PM
I don’t think it should be related to mods
Put all the pressure on the admins
Mods have enough to worry about

dooodaaad10-Aug-21 01:24 PM
hmm okay
for automatically flagging misinformation links, how could that work?
Malachi_Noel310-Aug-21 01:25 PM
They have a list of blacklisted urls
they just add on a few more
dooodaaad10-Aug-21 01:25 PM
what if when you click it, you get sent to an intermediate page saying "this page is bad"?
Malachi_Noel310-Aug-21 01:25 PM
thedonald.win is on the list of blacklisted urls. it will be removed anywhere on reddit automatically
dooodaaad10-Aug-21 01:26 PM
instead of just straight up blacklisting it
Malachi_Noel310-Aug-21 01:26 PM
Well, then the admins would have to make that
that could take weeks or even months
Their url blacklist is already made, they'd just have to add a few urls to the list
TheSebtacular10-Aug-21 01:27 PM
I had an idea ages ago for an automatic disinformation removal bot
Never got around to making it but it was an idea
dooodaaad10-Aug-21 01:28 PM
the problem is that the subreddits where that stuff is posted a lot wouldnt use it(edited)
i don't like straight-up blacklisting links cause that feels like censorship
i think they should add an intermediate page when you click on a misinfo link, and add a form where you can report misinformation links
GetOffMyLawn10-Aug-21 01:33 PM
I've started reporting covidiots who post misinfo to the admins. I am fed up.
Malachi_Noel310-Aug-21 01:34 PM

i think flagging links and subreddits that have misinformation is pretty reasonable
dooodaaad
what would you want them to do?
Malachi_Noel310-Aug-21 01:43 PM
ban the subs that spread misinfo and blacklist misinfo links. Those links should be removed. Adding a "this is bad" page would take too much time to make and do too little
dooodaaad10-Aug-21 01:43 PM
aight fair enough(edited)

Malachi_Noel310-Aug-21 01:45 PM

TheSebtacular10-Aug-21 01:48 PM
Ok so yesterday a user called u/AbberageRebbitor was removed as I believe they were trying to raid this server
I was sent screenshots
They then I believe used an alt to get on
I banned it but not before it was verified
dooodaaad10-Aug-21 01:51 PM
you can invalidate invite links
TheSebtacular10-Aug-21 01:51 PM
I did, though I’m unsure of which was used
dooodaaad10-Aug-21 01:51 PM
actually you can see what link they used to join i think
TheSebtacular10-Aug-21 01:51 PM
I think only bots can do that
@Jimmy The Bot time
Malachi_Noel310-Aug-21 01:55 PM
ngl, it might be Blank who is leaking the invite

TheSebtacular10-Aug-21 01:55 PM
He would need an alt that no one knows of and mods big subs
Malachi_Noel310-Aug-21 01:55 PM
I'm here and look at my largest subreddit
TheSebtacular10-Aug-21 01:56 PM
I can name most of the people who made the existing links
120k modded users is the allowed amount
More than NNN less than a lot of subs here
Malachi_Noel310-Aug-21 01:57 PM
Ok
Besides, you know I'm not a NNN mod
or an alt
TheSebtacular10-Aug-21 01:57 PM
I do. If there was a NNN mod here we’d probably know
probably about another week. dub said that when AHS went looking for subs to participate when they stickied the post about BLM, it took them about 2 weeks to get enough people.
maybesaydie10-Aug-21 04:18 PM

NoahBM10-Aug-21 04:43 PM
@N8theGr8 did you ever get a chance to fetch the ban bot code from your raspberry pi?
and is it something you'd let other people host themselves for excluding other subs than nnn?
NoahBM

I took a screenshot of the code and linked it above. I can't stop you from hosting a banbot even if I wanted to.
Its usually far right subs, wsb and crypto subs, and conspiracy subs (edited)
justcool39311-Aug-21 08:50 AM
there's 10 million users in WSB
it's essentially a default and has more activity than some defaults

Like, for instance, when we want users to do / not to do something on a sub we mod, they’re more likely to do it if we ask them as opposed to demand it of them.

kewlbro11-Aug-21 10:11 AM
i can see wsb not being a default just because of the general manners there
justcool39311-Aug-21 10:26 AM
the default is whatever the admin curated list was
it grew 9 million subs as a result of the GameStop thing
Quarantining still isn’t enough, but at least most quarantined subs do eventually get banned.

Just that we are concerned about the disinformation and then a second part debunking their talking points "Here is why masks work" "Here is why the vaccine is not DNA manipulation" etc

Recently, there has been a rise in misinformation in Reddit, and we do not need to name these communities.
The simple fact is: the more we cooperate, the faster this pandemic ends and faster our lives return back to normal. Every day, thousands of people get ill and hundreds die, and this is simply not tolerable.
As a functioning society, it is our responsibility and right to wear a mask that could save a life.
Here are some resources if you want to know more about how to help in this pandemic:
Why you should wear masks: https://www.who.int/news-room/q-a-detail/coronavirus-disease-covid-19-masks

So what are we doing now they’re quarantined? Are we continuing because I don’t think all the anti vaxx / covid denial is coming from there. We get loads on LAMF and it seems alt-right direction. They’re moving now, back to blaming “illegal aliens” for spreading covid.(edited)
TheSebtacular11-Aug-21 02:16 PM
@everyone Now that NNN has been quarantined it may give a bad impression if we protest immediately after (or just be a lot of work for nothing). Therefore we will be putting this on hold for a month. We will reassess then. Thank you all for working so hard on this!(edited)

@TheSebtacular thank you for all you’ve done in organising all this.

Thanks! It wasn’t all me though

Let’s just hope Reddit thinks NNN is more trouble than it’s worth
BelleAriel11-Aug-21 02:33 PM
I think they should have banned it but it’s a step in the right direction.
TheSebtacular11-Aug-21 02:34 PM
With you. It would be nice but I bet they’ll try to ban relatively soon
In the meantime let’s get NoNutNovember banned
woofwoofpack11-Aug-21 02:35 PM
I'm just waiting for another one of the disinfo subs to pick up the slack
BelleAriel11-Aug-21 02:36 PM
Yeah they’ll be evasion subs
TheSebtacular11-Aug-21 02:38 PM
Reddit is good against those
I just hope they don’t become as big. Plus we may change the focus there in a month
killthekaiser11-Aug-21 02:41 PM
Theres tons of alt righters on ruqqud
TheSebtacular
@everyone Now that NNN has been quarantined
it may give a bad impression if we protest immediately after (or just
be a lot of work for nothing). Therefore we will be putting this on hold
for a month. We will reassess then. Thank you all for working so hard
on this! (edited)

Did we do anything to cause it to get quarantined or is it just a coincidence
killthekaiser11-Aug-21 02:42 PM
We didnt start the thing ywt
So def just someone rlse like reddit

YOU leaked our plans!
killthekaiser
Dont u need to verify email to visit quarantined subs
justcool39311-Aug-21 02:46 PM
some of them require it
Emmx2039
yeah I noticed that too - don't they normally hide that?
justcool39311-Aug-21 02:46 PM
it depends on the subreddit
N8theGr811-Aug-21 02:46 PM
whether or not what I did had any contribution, I have no idea, but I started posting in mod backrooms about blackouts and protests and media notice almost right after I posted to r/modsupport that the admins weren't doing shit.
Then chtorrr shows up asking for links and stuff, so I assume that she pushed to get the sub quarantined.
justcool39311-Aug-21 02:46 PM
admins can choose particular features of a subreddit to leave enabled

so there is a possibility, that they came here
N8theGr811-Aug-21 02:49 PM
yeah that's what I'm saying. We weren't trying to hide it from the admins.
The sub was private because I didn't want NNN morons catching wind and spamming us out

yea, the nnn freaks cant do anything about us tho

kewlbro11-Aug-21 02:50 PM

N8theGr811-Aug-21 02:50 PM

Still other subs out there that must be quarantined, but that's a great start

Yeah, but now the precedent is set. If we feed the other subs to the admins like dominos now, then they should fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

TheSebtacular11-Aug-21 03:02 PM
The real question is what to do with this place if they fulfill our demands without us doing anything
i think the point of the article was the tragedy of the commons when it comes to multiple platforms.
while its a good point in itself, i dont think it should detract from taking care of our "own" platform
TheSebtacular
No I just wanted to show how I would run a poll
rnz11-Aug-21 04:22 PM
cool cool
justcool39311-Aug-21 04:23 PM
the internet isn't really a "resource" in that same way though
rnz11-Aug-21 04:26 PM
hm, in what way isn't it?
justcool39311-Aug-21 04:27 PM
there's--to a reasonable extent--no limit
and that's a good thing
rnz11-Aug-21 04:27 PM
well, even deep-pocket conservatives are finding it hard to establish new platforms, so there is a sort of limit to new platforms (if that is what you meant)
justcool39311-Aug-21 04:27 PM
no there isn't

dio11-Aug-21 04:27 PM
"your ideologies aren't allowed on reddit"

justcool39311-Aug-21 04:28 PM
ya and reddit defines those which it disallows on their site(edited)

rnz11-Aug-21 04:28 PM
well, we agree that certain ideologies should not be allowed, right?
Malachi_Noel311-Aug-21 04:28 PM
yes
dio11-Aug-21 04:28 PM
yes
the point is that they are going to go somewhere
Malachi_Noel311-Aug-21 04:29 PM
If they go to a different platform, it will be far more difficult for them to recruit members
rnz11-Aug-21 04:29 PM
for sure. and even if it doesnt completely solve the problem, we at least did our part, and it did make it more difficult for them.
justcool39311-Aug-21 04:29 PM
ya but this article is about tattling to the government
which I assure you
you do not want
Malachi_Noel311-Aug-21 04:30 PM
We don't wanna involve the government in this lmao
rnz11-Aug-21 04:30 PM
yeah, a can of worms in itself, for sure
(i only linked it to show that migration does happen, and deplatforming has a certain impact - in relation to a previous point in the channel)
justcool39311-Aug-21 04:32 PM
yeah.
it's difficult to quantify the impact of deplatforming
mostly because a lot of people tend to pop back up
they may be smaller, may recruit privately, or whatever
but it does happen
i hate that one article that gets dumped onto /r/science every so often because it doesn't take into account people... coming back
rnz11-Aug-21 04:34 PM
yeah, not a panacea for sure

Stuff like this is why quarantining r/nnn is not enough
forestfire140611-Aug-21 06:35 PM
It just needed to be fully banned from the first place, that way none of this would've happened
lovememychem11-Aug-21 06:35 PM
seriously they're going to either give someone a fatal arrythmia or cause an old person to bleed out into their gut
woofwoofpack11-Aug-21 06:36 PM
People actively encouraging redditors to go out and take drugs not recommended by doctors out of fear of covid
Don't believe the bullshit about veterinary ivm being inferior or problematic. It will do the job. I trust it b/c if this product started harming livestock, you better believe there would be an avalanche of lawsuits. That and many thousands (hundreds of thousands? millions?) of people are taking this and have been for the past 12 months.
Telling someone to go take animal grade medication via fear of covid is insanity and is going to get someone hurt
Like those people taking fish tank chemicals during the hydroxycholoroquine craze last year
Malachi_Noel311-Aug-21 06:38 PM
NoNewNormal still shows up when I search it
They essentially slapped Quarantined on their front page and did nothing else
dayum when I checked ruqqus like a few days ago it was dead trash
the admins made it so you cant send death threats anymore and every user started crying
hold on think i saw somethin
anyways ruqqus is genuine trash

The part that horrifies me the most is
It is a liquid. Do not inject. Take it orally. 1ml (or 1cc) contains 10mg of ivermectin. You will need a syringe to measure. Don't get too anxious about super accurate dosing. There is some room for error. Do take care though. I would hate myself for an eternity if anyone got hurt. If you are confused by the dosage please ask for help.

1. stick with current plan and wait a month
2. Go on ruqqus and do what we can. Its not like they have a place to go after ruqqus. I suggest using elnes account to establish an anti misinfo/leftist sub and channel leftist users into the site
3. get media attention which will be easier with the quarantine thing happenin
I personally suggest 2.

When reddit did the ban wave last year ruqqus was pretty much born and got tons of users
the last thing we need is a right wing version of reddit
if NNN gets banned then their 100000 users will try to go somewhere
many will go to r/walkaway r/conservative or whatever(edited)
but theres gunna be at least 10k that go to ruqqus
and that will give the site a healthy boost

I mean today reddit admin told me saying you would kill people with an AR15 if they came to their door to give the vaccine didn't violate their rule on violence. So I've long lost trust in reporting anything to admin. Acting like admin hasn't been aware from our constant reports of nnn activity and the other subs since it had only a few thousand subsribers. Reddit admin is the reason we're even in this mess.
Apparently NNN is being fully shut down in 2 weeks
Malachi_Noel311-Aug-21 09:06 PM
Where did you hear that?
2
Malachi_Noel311-Aug-21 09:22 PM
I want to point out that the admin's quarantining /r/NoNewNormal did not actually quarantine them. All they did was label them as quarantined while adding no quarantining restrictions
Ads were disabled on the subreddit before the quarantine. You can still see the number of members and online and you can still find the subreddit by searching it. The only restriction they added was that you now have to click through a "are you sure screen" when visiting it. They just wanted to damage control us without actually harming NoNewNormal

maybesaydie11-Aug-21 09:41 PM
What you just described is how every other quarantine has ever gone down
When they quarantined T_D they fucked around for a long time before removing mods and they're doing this one the same way. You'd think they'd learn(edited)

Compare to the article about getting rid of the_donald and the shooting cops comment and I see them as no different
rnz12-Aug-21 09:15 AM
depressing :/
justcool393
the admins were already gonna quarantine the sub
rnz12-Aug-21 09:18 AM
dunno, they still waited more than a year to take action. wouldn't this be in line with previous behavior - ignore until there is mounting pressure to do something?
N8theGr812-Aug-21 09:31 AM
yeah, it's pretty typical. they rarely take action unless someone is holding a spotlight on it.
rnz
depressing :/
BurrShotFirst180412-Aug-21 09:40 AM
Wish I could say it's unique. But comments like these are a dime a dozen. We've been reporting stuff like this, among other different rule breaking, to admins for the last year about these subs so they've been aware. Initially they took some actions. But it's developed to the point now where they don't even reply to us anymore lol.
killthekaiser
well NNN didnt advocate violence
SecretAgentIceBat12-Aug-21 09:52 AM
well that's demonstrably false
rnz
is there any chance that you can make this exchange public? we really
should have such a discussion with admins over what is acceptable from
NNN
SecretAgentIceBat12-Aug-21 09:53 AM
we have soooo many of these lol
Malachi_Noel3
I want to point out that the admin's quarantining /r/NoNewNormal did not
actually quarantine them. All they did was label them as quarantined
while adding no quarantining restrictions
Ads were disabled on the subreddit before the quarantine. You can still
see the number of members and online and you can still find the
subreddit by searching it. The only restriction they added was that you
now have to click through a "are you sure screen" when visiting it. They
just wanted to damage control us without actually harming NoNewNormal
dubteedub12-Aug-21 12:30 PM
To opt in to the sub now they do have to have a verofied email IIRC
The sub also should no longer show up in searches
Malachi_Noel312-Aug-21 12:30 PM
Still shows up when I search for it

Honestly its kind of worse option for us than an actual quarantine because of all the extra attention theybare getting now(edited)

dubteedub12-Aug-21 12:36 PM
A lot of front page posts are just people saying they are joining out of solidarity and foghting "censorship"
Honestly, with this evidence I think we have an even better case to make and say the admins did nothing and a full ban is warranted
Like everyday they are allowed to remain up goves them more time to organize am offsite hub or move to ruqqus or whatever
Malachi_Noel312-Aug-21 12:38 PM
They need to be banned fast

They had no intentions of ever harming /r/NoNewNormal, so they put in place no restrictions. All they did was drive traffic to /r/NoNewNormal and help the off shoot they are creating. You can still search for /r/NoNewNormal. You can still crosspost to /r/NoNewNormal. You can still see the members online for /r/NoNewNormal. You can still see the member count for /r/NoNewNormal.
The people voting to delay the protest a month are uninformed and have no idea the damage they're causing. Every time a person believes in the misinformation on /r/NoNewNormal, another person is at risk of dying.
Admins did not quarantine /r/NoNewNormal, they drove traffic to them and placed no restrictions. We are halting our protest because the admins helped the subreddit we wanted to ban(edited)

@Malachi_Noel3 please keep in mind that we all have the same end goal here. But getting too pushy about something can backfire. I think we need to be careful about our approach, since we'll probably really only get one shot. If a collaborative attempt doesn't work, then the final option is to just continue to pepper them with reminders and media articles to make life difficult.

rnz12-Aug-21 03:20 PM
well, what do we have to lose? if anything, the admins would not want us to realize just really how much power resides with the mods. the site would fail if the admins lose the cooperation of the mods
on the other side of the debate, is the team that supported jailbait, racism, etc for years - and probably would still do it now, if it werent for public backlash (and mod backlash)
TheSebtacular12-Aug-21 03:22 PM

NNN only has increased traffic for right now because a bunch of meta subs are focused on them. keep an eye on the traffic over the course of a week to see how it's affected.

BelleAriel12-Aug-21 03:31 PM
Which one for not delaying?
rnz12-Aug-21 03:33 PM
the admins dont have that many principles besides keeping the money flowing in. all their repeated statements about free speech (invoked for jailbait heh) got thrown out the window when the bad publicity threatened them. as a private entity, they are a law unto themselves, and would prefer to keep things as they are, if the money is coming. doing the right thing is done kicking and screaming
BelleAriel12-Aug-21 03:35 PM
F the admins i say carry on
The alt right are using covid to fling shit at immigrants and anti vaxxers are trying to defer onto PoC by saying they’re the ones not wanting the vaccine. The problem is not just NNN. If someone has a tumour you don’t just cut it out they tend to have chemo / radiotherapy too
N8theGr812-Aug-21 03:37 PM
please remember that we have the same goals here. you have a lot of energy, and I think that's a good thing. maybe it would be a better use of that energy to try to get all of the other NNN spinoff subs removed by reporting them.

NoahBM12-Aug-21 03:41 PM
Facts
rnz12-Aug-21 03:42 PM
i thinks its more important that we gradually act more forcefully, together (even if delayed, as this is just the current issue, a hundred more await). but we need to realize our own strength lol. we are all individually replaceable, but irrepleaceble as the workforce. remember facebook moderators that get PTSD from bad stuff - i know plenty of mods who quit due to how bad things are. at this point, i am truly convinced the admins have their hands tied when it comes to mods - whatever card they use against us, it would be a pyrrhic victory for them, and would only crash the site
maybe we need more people here? on a platform independent of reddit. popularize this server on mod communities?

n8, maybe modhelp? as a suggestion (i also dont need to make the post ofc, just raising a proposal)

kinda hypocritical to sit on our asses for two weeks and turn a blind eye to people being affected by NNN but then submit a letter to the administration team with a huge point being that people are dying

i guess it is a game of chicken. who goes private first. a few will join (me too tbh). then the mass of mods, here and everywhere, will start taking guesses at how many will join now.
some may not want to appear to step out of line i guess, to "not read the room". i dont think it matters. the cause is worth it

needs to change. Anyone interested in helping me write it is more than
welcome to contribute.
That's pretty close to the latest draft, but I'm going with the one on r/covidonreddit.
I think the tone should change to point out that the admins didn't do anything meaningful with the quarantine, and gave this subreddit exceptions that they don't normally give.
Thrandhuil13-Aug-21 07:31 AM
i've been rereading the quarantine posts from admins. are you sure they are going lenient on them? it doesnt seem to me that they were given any exception. i cant seem to be able to find posts from there through search, and i can only access them after clicking on the "accept to view the quarantined community"
and they dont appear on popular
afaik, these are all the actions taken on quarantined subs.
granted, its messed up that this is all that happens, but we should call out the system, instead of exceptions (as i cant see any exception from the "normal" system)
justcool39313-Aug-21 07:35 AM
yeah it's not a fake quarantine
whatever that means

Current working title:
We demand that Reddit take action against the rampant Coronavirus misinformation on their website.

Everyone on this planet has been affected by the SARS-Cov-2/Coronavirus/Covid-19 pandemic. You may have been in lockdown, you may have been forced to work under some form of duress, you may have lost a loved one to the disease, you may be left with an ailment that will stay with you for the rest of your life, you may have found that regular food, housing, and/or medical care is less attainable or more expensive now.
We could have been out from under this shadow months ago, but the issue became politicized. It didn't need to be but that's where we are. There are those who deny that the pandemic even exists, there are those who think that wearing a mask will literally suffocate you, there are those who think it's no worse than a regular flu virus.

get more links? maybe
It is clear that even after promising to tackle the problem of misinformation on this site, nothing of substance has been done.
We are now acting together to call on the admins to take ownership of their website and the remove dangerous medical misinformation that is contributing to the existence of this ongoing pandemic.
The following subreddits must, at a minimum, be banned:
* r/nonewnormal
* r/ivermectin
* r/CoronavirusFOS/
* r/COVID__19/
* r/Covid19Origin/
***
what should be added/changed (if exceptions to the "normal" system is not an issue)?
for example, i compiled this list of additional subs to request ban for, as mentioned in #disinfo-subs :
VAERSreports
RejectNewNormal
NewNoNewNormal
refusenewnormal
vaxkampf
fauciforprison
covidisafraud
chinaflu
thoughts on the list?(edited)
this quip is on point as well:
"However, in order for this sub to be actually closed, Reddit must follow strict protocol (1. Wait until the pandemic substantially subsides, making the sub no longer topically relevant, 2. Verify that most subscribers have abandoned the sub, congregating somewhere else and making closing the sub a toothless and meaningless gesture, 3. Close the sub)."
Thrandhuil
and they dont appear on popular

Malachi_Noel313-Aug-21 09:50 AM
The overwhelming majority of Reddit users are mobile
this is what they announced 2 years ago when they brought quarantines back
>Quarantined communities generate no revenue, do not appear in non-subscription-based feeds (eg Popular), and are not included in search or recommendations.
>Other restrictions, such as limits on community styling, crossposting, the share function, etc. may also be applied. Quarantined subreddits and their subscribers are still fully obliged to abide by Reddit’s Content Policy and remain subject to enforcement measures in cases of violation.
the not included in search was one of the three major points that was supposed to be applied across the board to all quarantined subs along with no ads and no r/popular feeds or r/all(edited)
dubteedub
I just checked r/theredpill and it actually showed up on new reddit search as well

we will certainly have more subs once we can promote this initiative. waiting for seb to give the greenlight to that
TheSebtacular13-Aug-21 02:53 PM
I'll ask the Reddit Mods staff if I can mention it
N8theGr813-Aug-21 02:53 PM
you can promote it anywhere you like, just keep in mind that some places don't like advertising.
also it should probably be limited to mod-only spaces

I warn/ban people on my servers if they advertise
It'd be hypocritical to do it on another server

lovememychem13-Aug-21 03:53 PM
Bruh if that was the case and the reason they did nothing was that they managed to distract themselves from a legitimate safety issue because they were quarantining NNN, that would hardly be exculpatory lol(edited)

the vote only represents people grandfathered into this sub. we could have more people in, but we are moving as slow on that front as the admins are on NNN tbh
N8theGr813-Aug-21 03:59 PM
there are 3 things that anyone can work on right now:
* improve/contribute to the open letter
* report to the admins: more examples of disinfo on NNN, and all the other quarantine-evading subs
* spread the word to more mods to get more people involved and ready to participate

we don't. the people who'd have a problem with it are the server staff over on modhelp.

N8theGr813-Aug-21 04:01 PM
is it a private sub?
rnz13-Aug-21 04:01 PM
no
N8theGr813-Aug-21 04:02 PM
it's up to @TheSebtacular . he's the one who's running the verification process, so I think he wants to make it more robust.

he said yesterday, on this same topic, that we are fine now, and dont need additional server staff recruiting. all in all - greenlight to post then?

It’s likely if we were to poll significantly more people the numbers would come out roughly the same
Malachi_Noel313-Aug-21 04:04 PM

N8theGr813-Aug-21 04:04 PM
we could still use more. most people aren't really taking an active role and are just sitting around waiting to be told what to do.
Malachi_Noel313-Aug-21 04:04 PM
no point in arguing and splitting us
rnz13-Aug-21 04:04 PM
possible. but not the the only point. we can still benefit from more mods here
guys, my point is not to force another vote, but to get more mods involved in this
TheSebtacular13-Aug-21 04:05 PM
I don’t want to risk any significant amount of mods here as we will likely get more leakers
Malachi_Noel313-Aug-21 04:05 PM
We have alot of mods involved already
rnz13-Aug-21 04:05 PM
this is going the wrong way tbh
i take it the answer from the server staff then is that this server should not be promoted on reddit then?
Malachi_Noel313-Aug-21 04:08 PM
Correct
We don’t want random users joining this
TheSebtacular13-Aug-21 04:09 PM
Random users don’t really matter as verification exists
I’m concerns about mods that are against this
N8theGr813-Aug-21 04:13 PM
I'm not really sure how they could stop us. They could just as easily argue within their own prospective subreddits against this even if they didn't have advance notice.
TheSebtacular13-Aug-21 04:17 PM
They couldn’t but I don’t want them telling NNN people about this
Puts some mods at risk and it’d just be a pain
rnz13-Aug-21 04:31 PM
i understand your concern. i would mention that we will be in that situation anyway when we all go public with the letter - and the shutdown
N8theGr813-Aug-21 04:33 PM
A few of the NNN members figured out that I was the one running the bulk of the banbots, and the most I got was a couple userpings.
TheSebtacular13-Aug-21 04:45 PM
Bit of a difference between that and trying to shut their sub down
could maybe keep track of every comment/submission idk
TheSebtacular15-Aug-21 02:52 AM
I’m thinking more advanced
Perhaps raid protection
rnz15-Aug-21 03:17 AM
on the topic of proposals, we could use (search) the user posting history of those posting in known covid subs, to further track other covid related subs. maybe a script that grabs all the subs those post to, and see what new covid subs appear among those. aggregate everything in 1 table, see what pops up (maybe remove known/safe subs from the aggregation)

kewlbro17-Aug-21 04:43 AM
In all seriousness though, that quarantine really had a good effect on NNN
They are beginning to flee to other platforms like ruqqus which is a big big improvement
Though they are still growing somehow, a week ago they were at 108k and now at 115k(edited)
a 6 percent growth in 6 days(edited)
rnz17-Aug-21 04:48 AM
thats pretty massive tbh
kewlbro17-Aug-21 04:49 AM
yeah, if their comment activity has decreased how are they growing at such a rate?(edited)
maybe it could be botted?
Malachi_Noel317-Aug-21 05:08 AM
They were at 108k before the quarantine. The 7k since was from the traffic it gained from SRD and other sources upon the news of it being quarantined
kewlbro17-Aug-21 05:22 AM
SRD?
Whats SRD??

I'll ask the Reddit Mods staff if I can mention it
rnz18-Aug-21 02:25 AM
hey seb, would i be in the wrong to presume that nothing has happened regarding promotion of this server anywhere else, including on the reddit mods server?
i am trying to be polite about it, but you were against other people promoting this server, you said that you would contact that server staff instead, but i see nothing happening. can you give us an update as things move along? its great that we have people assuming leadership, but as long as n8 and others have identified "getting more mods here" as a priority, we should work on that too
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 02:35 AM
I’ve forgotten to ask them. I’ll do that now but I don’t intend to push it as I bet they’ll say no
Correction, the mod that I would message is an admin

TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 02:36 AM
I don’t think asking Reddit Mods is a good idea
rnz18-Aug-21 03:18 AM
well, you said previously you would contact them
so how do you propose we get more mods on train for this?
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:19 AM
I did but no way am I asking an admin if they support this
I don’t even really support asking people. I think we should go about it as we have been
N8theGr8
there are 3 things that anyone can work on right now:
* improve/contribute to the open letter
* report to the admins: more examples of disinfo on NNN, and all the other quarantine-evading subs
* spread the word to more mods to get more people involved and ready to participate
rnz18-Aug-21 03:21 AM
n8 too mentioned here that we should spread the word about this. i take it that you are against this idea then?
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:22 AM
I think you misunderstand
This would involve going public which comes with a lot of issues
The way we’ve done it so far is asking communities then inviting their mods
That’s worked fine so far and I support using it
rnz18-Aug-21 03:28 AM
we are still at just 100 people, when there are hundreds of thousands of communities. i try to help with improving the letter, but my suggestion hasn't made it into the draft. we need to do more, even as we wait for another vote to do something on reddit.
what communities did you contact already? lets spread this effort out
while we try to get the admins to treat this matter with more urgency, that same urgency is not often felt here tbh, and we can improve on that - it still is a matter of life and death
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:31 AM
We have contacted quite a few communities and the list of ones that have joined is in #subreddits-participating
If there is one mod server that could work it’s Snoo Sensation and maybe Redditor’s United. But I’m not the best person to ask for either of those.
rnz18-Aug-21 03:34 AM
i dont mind working on that front. can you get me invite links to those?
Malachi_Noel318-Aug-21 04:09 AM
Literally no one in those servers know you
That’s the problem
rnz18-Aug-21 04:28 AM
and i hope it remains that way lol
i dont need to take point on anything. but... we should still work toward a goal. i am fine staying on the sideline and helping with feedback, or putting in work, like i did with suggestion for the letter. but we seem to be leaning too much on the waiting side, which seems antithetical to the point of this initiative. we should do more, the problem is not going away, neither irl, nor on reddit
seb said he would talk to the reddit mods server people, i was and am fine with that, he didnt do it, and i understand he probably wont do it all. when i asked if i can post about this on reddit, that too was rejected. it seems to me that we are in a state of near-"do nothing". shouldn't we ask ourselves questions about that, about what we could do more, as a group, meanwhile?
Malachi_Noel318-Aug-21 05:06 AM
The active users in the Reddit Mods server who aren’t in here already probably don’t want to be. Many of them are mods who always back off whenever drama happens
Like Femilip, Xenoben, and Tiz (who’s literally an admin)

* improve/contribute to the open letter
* report to the admins: more examples of disinfo on NNN, and all the other quarantine-evading subs
* spread the word to more mods to get more people involved and ready to participate
point #2 in particular could benefit from a wide participation
kewlbro18-Aug-21 11:48 AM
Reddit mods have some admins too

We are waiting to continue the letter, the admins have plenty of disinfo, and the word is already being spread
dio18-Aug-21 12:00 PM
NNN is spreading misinfo as well as the virus
TheSebtacular
We are waiting to continue the letter, the admins have plenty of disinfo, and the word is already being spread
rnz18-Aug-21 02:06 PM
it seems to me that there is at most 1 person doing something, but plenty of blocking of initiatives tbh. lets organize a team effort, for what subreddits we can contact, maybe make it easier to edit the letter too (is there some website we can use to collaboratively edit the letter?)
N8theGr8
we could still use more. most people aren't really taking an active role
and are just sitting around waiting to be told what to do.
rnz18-Aug-21 02:06 PM
what n8 said here is just as true today
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 02:22 PM
I’m not comfortable with announcing anywhere
We get all sorts of people then
And feel free to write it but it’s officially on hold

n8, is writing of the letter on hold?
rnz
n8, is writing of the letter on hold?
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 02:42 PM
It is, at least to the extent that we most likely won’t be getting people to write it as a group
N8theGr818-Aug-21 02:47 PM
anyone can still contribute. we can't publish it until it's ready anyway, so the writing aspect can still proceed.
rnz18-Aug-21 02:55 PM
yeah i dont know where seb is coming up with this...
i understand its not for publishing yet, but saying the writing itself is on hold is bizarre mate

I’m not stopping anyone from writing but in the past I’ve pinged everyone to encourage people to write. I won’t be doing that is what I mean
rnz18-Aug-21 02:59 PM
ok.
what else can we do move things forward? can you give a list of what subs you contacted so far, so that we can work on others?
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:00 PM
I really think we should just wait. Everything is delayed and the way it’s going it wouldn’t surprise me if we ended/extended the delay
I don’t think reaching out to other subs when the future of this is so uncertain would be a good idea
rnz18-Aug-21 03:01 PM
i dont understand. why is the future uncertain?
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:02 PM
We will be calling a second vote in around a week with 3 options
Continue the protest
Wait another 3ish weeks and revote
Stop the protest
dio18-Aug-21 03:02 PM
^this entire server
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:02 PM
I don’t know which will win
rnz18-Aug-21 03:04 PM
seb, from my side of things, it looks like you are doing everything in your power to cockblock this. no matter what is proposed, it gets shot down. i am giving you the benefit of the doubt, but maybe you can select someone else more optimist about this, to actually steer things and get them moving? you seem content with doing nothing, and telling me no on everything i propose. i dont need to be in charge of anything, just select someone yourself, that is more willing to do stuff
dio18-Aug-21 03:05 PM
content with doing nothing, yet gets mad at the admins when they do the same
rnz18-Aug-21 03:05 PM
yeah this is completely absurd tbh. please consider my suggestion, if you dont want things to happen here
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:05 PM
Oh my god
We are delaying, which by definition means we are waiting to see what to do
rnz18-Aug-21 03:06 PM
we are delaying vote only. only that was decided. plenty of stuff to do meanwhile
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:06 PM
I don’t want to take too many actions/reach out due to risks and the fact that currently we aren’t doing shit because we have delayed
you are not taking any action, and trying to dissuade me from doing anything
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:07 PM
I don’t want us to reach out because we don’t know what will happen
dio18-Aug-21 03:07 PM
in the time we've been "waiting", we could've put together a full letter
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:07 PM
We are asking subs to commit to something that may not even happen
I’m not stopping you! Get people to write the letter!
TheSebtacular
@everyone Now that NNN has been quarantined
it may give a bad impression if we protest immediately after (or just
be a lot of work for nothing). Therefore we will be putting this on hold
for a month. We will reassess then. Thank you all for working so hard
on this! (edited)
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:08 PM
I said we will be putting this on hold
Do whatever. I’m waiting until a future date to decide how to proceed
And read my previous messages
If I was trying to stop you I would stop you
Just because I don’t support your actions doesn’t mean I’m gonna interfere, I just won’t take action to support them

Oh shut up Dio. We don’t know who’ll join and what they’ll do
1
rnz18-Aug-21 03:12 PM
and i would contact the server staffs
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:12 PM
And even worse me and the other mods will have to vet them
rnz18-Aug-21 03:13 PM
why is that worse? isnt that supposed to be your job here? just select someone else to do it?
you really give the impression that you dont want to do your job here, but also holding on to your position
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:13 PM
Because that’s not exactly clear cut and it can be time consuming
rnz18-Aug-21 03:13 PM
fine, select someone else or call for a selection
dio18-Aug-21 03:14 PM
you moderate some of the largest subreddits...
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:14 PM
Plus if we fuck yo then we have a rat
I’ll rephrase that
Normally when people join someone here knows them to some capacity. Vetting every single person that joins from now on and checking if they seem to support this is a royal pain in the ass for something I don’t even support right now
rnz18-Aug-21 03:15 PM
there is nobody here you can guarantee that is not a rat. this is a non-issue, move on pls
N8theGr818-Aug-21 03:15 PM
I booted up my auto-ban bots again. I think that the rubberneckers have mostly moved on, and their traffic is half of what it was the day they were quarantined.
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:15 PM
Sure but we’ve had one so far
Plus it is, I don’t want everything being leaked
rnz18-Aug-21 03:15 PM
it doesnt matter.... its never a guarantee. this is a non issue
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:16 PM
It’s not a major issue but it’s also an issue
It is an issue

jesus
dio18-Aug-21 03:16 PM
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:16 PM
What if someone directly against us gets in and slows the process or leaks everything?
I’m cautious about this. Public servers are public servers
rnz18-Aug-21 03:16 PM
like you are? you are slowing everything, and not even willing to let someone else do your work
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:16 PM
I don’t support chucking the link on some mod server and calling it a day
dio18-Aug-21 03:17 PM
correct
rnz18-Aug-21 03:17 PM
i am not intending to that. i can take as manyh steps as you ewant
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:17 PM
That’s never a good practice
dio18-Aug-21 03:17 PM
u would rather do nothing and call it a day
rnz18-Aug-21 03:17 PM
nobody said doing that, stop raising that strawman
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:18 PM
I’m playing the long game. I’m good with other people doing the work but I don’t support wasting everyone’s time if nothing happens
The way NNN is going I can forsee the protest ending/being delayed longer
rnz18-Aug-21 03:18 PM
the risk of nothing happening increases with the kind of blocking strategy you are using here
dio18-Aug-21 03:18 PM
i've seen fat people run marathons faster than this so called "project" can even get off the ground
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:18 PM
I’m not blocking
rnz18-Aug-21 03:18 PM
if i get server staff approval, can this be promoted on other servers?
dio18-Aug-21 03:18 PM

TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:19 PM

rnz18-Aug-21 03:20 PM
so is that a yes, in fewer words?

I will if we have issues with people joining but that’s happening later
rnz18-Aug-21 03:20 PM
you dont want other mods to join this server?
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:20 PM
I don’t give a shit. You’ve been accusing me of being power hungry and trying to stop you and you just keep asking me for approval
I… what the fuck?
rnz18-Aug-21 03:20 PM
because you are being very equivocal, and changing your stance often
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:20 PM
Have you read anything I’ve said?
I want people to join just not like this
rnz18-Aug-21 03:21 PM
mate, straight answer, yes or no. if i get server staff approval, can i promote this now, on other servers?

I did!
TheSebtacular
I won’t approve but I won’t stop you

rnz18-Aug-21 03:21 PM
so thats yes, right?
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:21 PM
I’m not approving it but I’m not stopping you
I will delete the invites if people manage to slip through the cracks though.
So be warned
rnz18-Aug-21 03:22 PM
what does that even mean...?
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:22 PM
On discord you can view the invites to your server
rnz18-Aug-21 03:22 PM
i know. what does "people slipping through the cracks mean"?
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:23 PM
I’ll delete the invites you created if people joining cause issues
rnz18-Aug-21 03:23 PM
dont delete invites, just do your job moderating here
dio18-Aug-21 03:23 PM
nobody needs to be invited
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:23 PM
Slipping through the cracks means they were approved incorrectly
rnz18-Aug-21 03:23 PM
or let someone else do it
what does incorrect approval mean?
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:23 PM
I’ve been doing my job
Every time someone joins a mod manually gives them the verified role
rnz18-Aug-21 03:24 PM
then just monitor that process, no need to delete invites
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:25 PM
Sometimes people get in. We can’t stop it
dio18-Aug-21 03:25 PM
manually verify by checking their reddit accounts
it is a non issue

You think we haven’t?
dio18-Aug-21 03:25 PM

TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:25 PM
That’s not always clear cut
So send the links. I’m waiting to see what happens with the subreddit until I take any further action
In a week we will call a revote to decide what to do
rnz18-Aug-21 03:31 PM
dont mind my saying seb, but you should work as an enabler, not as "the decider". you werent selected as leader, you are taking care of the technical part (for which i am personally grateful that you are providing here)(edited)
TheSebtacular18-Aug-21 03:32 PM
I started this thing and I’m helping with management. I’m trying my best to have this act as a democracy

More like mod-mod drama
I know you were active in the last blackout discussion, but you usually don’t get very involved in mod-mod drama
femilip18-Aug-21 04:26 PM
When has there been mod/mod drama in Reddit mods?
Malachi_Noel318-Aug-21 04:27 PM
Rare
N8theGr818-Aug-21 04:27 PM
it's always pretty brief since the admins there are pretty quick to squanch it.
femilip18-Aug-21 04:27 PM
So how can I be involved
Malachi_Noel318-Aug-21 04:27 PM
But the recent powermod discussion could’ve been considered drama

N8theGr818-Aug-21 04:29 PM
we need to finish the letter to the admins and get more mods involved. the more subs you can get invovled, the better. if you tell me that [X] sub is involved, then I can add all the mods there to the backroom sub.
femilip18-Aug-21 04:29 PM
Is it drama or is it just pushing the envelope on an issue

Malachi_Noel318-Aug-21 04:29 PM
Once the letter is posted, it will show up on SRD
So you could call it drama
femilip18-Aug-21 04:30 PM
I mean nnn already Hates me. I've showed n8 the dms I've gotten from their mods
Malachi_Noel318-Aug-21 04:30 PM
Lol
rnz
yeah, i always chuckle at that lol
femilip18-Aug-21 04:32 PM
Man y'all something lol
Malachi_Noel318-Aug-21 04:32 PM
I want NNN to get banned so their users move off the site
femilip
rnz18-Aug-21 04:51 PM
it was in reply to another message, that referenced tiz being an admin which i find odd lol. the chuckle has nothing to do with the other people metioned!

I want NNN to get banned so their users move off the site

I want NNN to get banned so their users move off the site
Is there any brigading since the quarantine we can point to that shows continued bad behavior?
Malachi_Noel321-Aug-21 12:00 PM

rnz21-Aug-21 12:00 PM
i made a suggestion in #writing that we should include info about misinformation, but it has not made its way in, since
Malachi_Noel321-Aug-21 12:01 PM
Exactly, it needs to be updated
rnz21-Aug-21 12:01 PM
@N8theGr8 around perchance?
Malachi_Noel321-Aug-21 12:02 PM
N8 the gr8 writer
I r8 him good
rnz21-Aug-21 12:02 PM
i dont think more articles on covid are needed. we could also include the list from #disinfo-subs about subs to ban. other than that, i'd say get it going. once we agree on a draft, whats the next step?
So it’s currently Saturday. Let’s get ready to protest by Tuesday
That gives us 2 full days
Let’s finish the write up soon
rnz21-Aug-21 01:31 PM
we need to clarify the following:
- how do we finish the letter? do we wait for n8?
- what specifically needs added changed to the letter? there is a proposed section on misinformation, and maybe to update the list of subs to ban. anything else?
TheSebtacular21-Aug-21 01:48 PM
We don’t need to wait for anyone in particular to finish. Just write and work with other people to clean up
@N8theGr8 Where do you get the graphs of activity for NNN?
N8theGr823-Aug-21 07:22 PM
subredditstats.com
TheSebtacular23-Aug-21 07:23 PM
Thanks!
They've made a slight bounce back
Also we have a slight issue
As others have said drawing traffic to the other subreddits we would like banned is a bad idea
But we do want them banned
N8theGr823-Aug-21 07:35 PM
I advise against posting a giant advertisement for covidiot subs, even though they would be overwhelmed with absolute chaos for a few days, it would still give covidiots a central location to coalesce.
TheSebtacular23-Aug-21 07:36 PM
I've just mentioned NNN
I can't think of a good way to send the full list of subreddits to the admins
Since the creation of the subreddit on June 6th, 2020, r/NoNewNormal (Which will be abbreviated as NNN for the rest of this) has consistently spread Covid disinformation which has put people at risk.
The activity has, in recent weeks, decreased since Reddit quarantined NNN, though this hasn’t been enough. The sub has slowly started to recover from the traffic and is still touting disinformation. This doesn’t even include the other subreddits spreading disinformation and false cures for this virus. These subreddits will keep springing up whether or not NNN is banned which leads us to the goal of this protest.
We demand NNN be banned and Reddit’s rules on Covid disinformation be tightened. This pandemic has been killing millions of people while social media has spread doubt in people’s minds about it. The Surgeon general has even said Covid misinformation is a threat to public health. Reddit is one of these social media platforms and therefore should take action to stop the spread of Covid disinformation.

I would swap the two paragraphs. The second paragraph is a better opener. Start with explaining the danger, then second paragraph should describe the subreddit causing it
TheSebtacular

rnz24-Aug-21 12:41 AM
perhaps a solution would be to request a policy against anti-vax subreddits? that way, we don't promote those subs, and we dont get into an endless game with whackamole with the admins, where we keep haranguing over the newest incarnation. so we dont request action on (just) NNN, but instituting a new general anti-disinformation when it comes to covid/vaccines policy (same as there are policies against racism etc)

I dont think we should take the name of the subreddit...
It will give them the opportunity to attack this writing
I think we should just refer to the sub as "Anti-vax sub" or "misinformation sub"(edited)
rnz24-Aug-21 04:08 AM
yeah, we definitely need a wider umbrella than action on 1 sub. otherwise its "mission accomplished", we pat our backs, and the problem is still there(edited)

we coordinated this kidna poorly
who's willing to restrict your subreddit for 4-6 hours to make it go stale so you can post the protest post?
rnz24-Aug-21 07:59 AM
yeah, we could have voted yesterday on the letter. oh well. vote now at least?
rnz24-Aug-21 08:54 AM
@TheSebtacular when are we voting on the letter?
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 09:05 AM
I’m gonna finish up mine in a bit and then call a vote
I’ll actually call a quick vote now
ogwhiz24-Aug-21 09:05 AM
Locked a thread being brigaded by antivaxxers last night
Woke up to this message.
poptart2nd24-Aug-21 09:09 AM
i'm unclear about what the protest will be. is it only stickying the open letter or is it going private as well?
ogwhiz24-Aug-21 09:09 AM
As for the vote, I’m in training so I won’t be readily availabke
Available
poptart2nd
i'm unclear about what the protest will be. is it only stickying the open letter or is it going private as well?
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 09:10 AM
Depends on the sub
I believe we will be going private starting today
Though not entirely sure what was decided
BasedOnAir24-Aug-21 09:11 AM
We don’t even know which letter, we don’t even know what action we are taking, we don’t even know who’s ready or even aware that today is the day
I don’t think this protest is ready yet
dubteedub24-Aug-21 09:12 AM
yeah BPT is not in at this point
is the letter even final?
we also were only in this to sign onto a letter and sticky it, not private right away
my impression was that was like a next step
BasedOnAir24-Aug-21 09:13 AM
We shouldn’t proceed until everyone can work in unison
Otherwise it’ll be ineffective
And a wasted opportunity
Or something like that
dubteedub
my impression was that was like a next step
poptart2nd24-Aug-21 09:13 AM
ohhhh that makes more sense. i like that better than a piecemeal of subs doing what they think is best at the time.
dubteedub24-Aug-21 09:14 AM
like isnt the point of hte letter to give them like an ultimatum
then you follow that up like a week/month later with "since no actions were taken, we are proceeding with a general protest"
the letter can also be used to gain more support for the cause first
poptart2nd24-Aug-21 09:16 AM
oh i don't know i just like to feel included. i'll do whatever the consensus is.
1
N8theGr824-Aug-21 09:17 AM
we're not going private today, step 1 is posting the letter to as many subreddits as possible.
there's more resistance to going private than stickying a letter, so that's the first move
poptart2nd24-Aug-21 09:17 AM
if that's all @TheSebtacular is talking about doing at noon then i'm ready now
rnz24-Aug-21 09:19 AM
"to clarify, the first step of the protest is stickying a letter. optimally, you'll restrict your subreddit for 4-6 hours beforehand so that the letter has a higher chance of reaching r/all"
this isnt clear
N8theGr824-Aug-21 09:19 AM
also as many subs as possible should restrict themselves now, so that they're stale when teh letter is posted
rnz24-Aug-21 09:19 AM
i dont get that logic
why not restrict with the letter, so that more see it?
lower traffic is lower visibility?
poptart2nd24-Aug-21 09:20 AM
because if you already have a post on the front page, your post won't do as well
N8theGr824-Aug-21 09:20 AM
restricting the subreddit keeps people from posting. When you have less competition on a subreddit, i.e. fewer posts being posted, then there's a higher chance that your post will make it to the top.
when no posts are being posted, reddit's algorithm will send the first thing posted to the very top
but you have to restrict your subreddit for a while. most people don't see stickies because they never make it off the subreddit, and most people browse by r/all or their front page.
dubteedub24-Aug-21 09:28 AM
ill also add that prime reddit posting hours are between 9 and 10 am, noon is usually a bit late to catch a break on r/popular and be on the front page all day
Lauren_ev24-Aug-21 09:43 AM
Wait what time zone is the protest?
N8theGr824-Aug-21 09:44 AM
all of them
dub is probably talking about EST, though

NateArcher24-Aug-21 09:46 AM
We need to have a fully laid out plan with steps in order to not have any miscommunication across subs, but before all of that we need at least 80% of subs ready.
conalfisher24-Aug-21 09:49 AM
I'll be honest, I've been following this since the start and even I'm a bit confused as to what I need to actually do as part of this protest. We're rushing into this, we need to have a complete plan of action, as opposed to just pinging everyone and saying "okay guys start protesting now thx"
rnz24-Aug-21 09:50 AM
one person monopolized all planning, delayed stuff for weeks, and on the day of the protest we still dont have the plan and the letter. i am disappointed in the lack of interest on their part, despite taking the lead role by themselves
conalfisher24-Aug-21 09:52 AM
At the very least there needs to be an info channel saying exactly what mods need to do for the protest. Not everyone in here is actively following this discussion.
As far as I can see there isn't even a pinned link to the letter anywhere.
conalfisher
As far as I can see there isn't even a pinned link to the letter anywhere.
N8theGr824-Aug-21 09:55 AM
the letter is on r/covidonreddit and I've been asking people to contribute repeatedly. I don't want to write the thing by myself, I have other stuff to work on. I'm trying to troubleshoot some servers right now.
Merari0124-Aug-21 09:58 AM
Shouldnt it be explained why this disinformation is unwanted?
conalfisher24-Aug-21 09:58 AM
That one doesn't appear to be the working draft, as far as I can tell.
Merari0124-Aug-21 09:58 AM
Take out "demand"
Where can I read the actual letter? I am not willing to post what is currently on that subreddit
conalfisher24-Aug-21 09:59 AM
The problem here is the disorganization. There's too much info spread out over a half dozen channels and a private sub, and no indication of what each sub actually needs to do.
Merari0124-Aug-21 09:59 AM
@TheSebtacular@N8theGr8
conalfisher24-Aug-21 10:00 AM
We need to hit the brakes on this thing now, and give it at least 2-3 more days.(edited)
Merari0124-Aug-21 10:01 AM
Not sure that's still possible
But there is no way I am posting what is currently on that subreddit. It is not good enough by a longshot
conalfisher24-Aug-21 10:01 AM
Well in that case, we need to get our shit together right fucking now because this thing is going to flop otherwise
Merari0124-Aug-21 10:02 AM
Why is "demand" in that letter?
That is the absolute fastest way to get people against you
rnz24-Aug-21 10:03 AM
dont mind my saying, but that particular bit has been there since weeks
Merari0124-Aug-21 10:03 AM
Ok if I am not getting an answer I am opening up my subreddits again
@TheSebtacular@N8theGr8
rnz24-Aug-21 10:04 AM
they are afk lol
Merari0124-Aug-21 10:04 AM
I have no idea why, because I have said from the start that is something that must be avoided
conalfisher24-Aug-21 10:04 AM
Look, you're a server mod. Please ping everyone in #updates and put a hold on this thing.
Merari0124-Aug-21 10:05 AM
If you want people to be sympathetic to your cause then you use language that enables that. You do not use language that turns people against you

Merari0124-Aug-21 10:08 AM
I dont know why you want me to make subreddits restricted when I dont even have a lettter
conalfisher24-Aug-21 10:11 AM
Here's what I think needs to be done:
1: We need to have a channel that says exactly what needs to be done for the protest.
2: There needs to be a set date and time, in 2 days or so.
3: This stuff all needs to be on the sub as well. A random uninformed mod should be able to drop in, read a message, and know what to do, without having to sift through a bunch of channels and work it out.

some people have been very aggressive in pushing the timelime but we don't actually have the things complete taht we need to have complete. more people working on the letter would have helped with this.
rnz24-Aug-21 10:13 AM
n8, no specific timeline has been pushed, only that action is taken
seb has dreamed up tuesday as the day of action
Merari0124-Aug-21 10:13 AM
I dont have time. I dont even have time right now. Ive been ill since wednesday and I have so much unfinished work
rnz24-Aug-21 10:14 AM
and also n8, i asked you over and over these past weeks on what we need to do. and the feedback i gave was not included, last time i checked yesterday, in your version
then seb works on yet another version
N8theGr824-Aug-21 10:14 AM
this isn't just about you. please have some patience. I'm working on the letter now.
conalfisher24-Aug-21 10:15 AM
Look, let's not start putting blame on people. We're all here because we want Covid disinformation off of Reddit. Discourse here is entirely unproductive. N8, if you want I can write the letter and put together instructions on what mods should do.
rnz24-Aug-21 10:16 AM
conal, go ahead please, at least we have a working plan
BasedOnAir24-Aug-21 10:16 AM
@conalfisher try getting with @dubteedub on the letter they had some excellent points in #writing just now
Merari0124-Aug-21 10:17 AM
"The main problem with a concerted disinformation campaign is that such a message attains an air of legitimacy through sheer volume of repetition. This is dangerous when it comes to unsafe medical advice such as promoting the ingestion or injection of cattle dewormers, a known side effect of which is sudden death. There is a good chance that the disinformation that reddit is currently inundated with will necessitate people a stay at the toxicology department in the hospital or even cost them their lives. Reddit as a global platform should take responsibility here"
How is that
N8theGr824-Aug-21 10:17 AM
Are we still planning to have the host subreddit be r/vaxxhappened?
Merari0124-Aug-21 10:18 AM
I would like that but we definitely need Saydie to give permission
N8theGr824-Aug-21 10:29 AM
have they actually banned any subreddits, or did everything just get quarantined?
I would suggest adding mention near the part where masks are mentioned something like “they think the vaccine is deadly,” or some mention of that. Also, check merari’s notes about the title in writing channel
Oh whoops you posted in that channel too heh
conalfisher24-Aug-21 11:36 AM
So this thing needs delayed. LPT is restricted, I set /r/TIFU back to public, if someone in LPT can switch it back to public then we can put it off easily.
rnz
one person monopolized all planning, delayed stuff for weeks, and on the
day of the protest we still dont have the plan and the letter. i am

I never did that. We called a vote and delay won. Other people did plenty of planning and you joined multiple days too late and have been repeatedly attacking me.
N8theGr8

I believe for maximum impact we should do a rolling posting system
Not everyone posts at once but it’s better for scheduling
conalfisher24-Aug-21 11:38 AM
I think above all else, we need to decide on a date and time for this, because right now I don't think anyone is sure whether this is happening now or not.
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 11:38 AM
That’s partly my suggestion
We start today and continue the posting until tomorrow/the next day
conalfisher24-Aug-21 11:39 AM
Today?
We're not nearly ready
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 11:39 AM
Tomorrow then? I believe some subs have already restricted
conalfisher24-Aug-21 11:39 AM
LPT is restricted, I don't know of any others
N8theGr824-Aug-21 11:40 AM
tifu and several others are restricted
conalfisher24-Aug-21 11:40 AM
I set tifu back to public like an hour ago
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 11:40 AM
I do think we may be a bit too disorganized. Mostly my fault
Waiting another day may help though I’m not sure. My rolling message idea is still a thing though
conalfisher24-Aug-21 11:41 AM
Blaming is pointless right now. I think we need to get things sorted, then we can discuss rolling this out.
N8theGr824-Aug-21 11:41 AM
we can wait another day, but I feel like starting earlier in the week is a better option. like on a monday or tuesday.
TheSebtacular
We start today and continue the posting until tomorrow/the next day
dubteedub24-Aug-21 11:41 AM

dubteedub

TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 11:41 AM
Hey, it’s an idea
Maybe not a good one but it’s an idea
conalfisher24-Aug-21 11:42 AM
I think the letter is more or less finished now. If we can get a channel in the info tab to go through everything that's going to happen, then we'd be golden I think.
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 11:42 AM
I’ll make it
conalfisher24-Aug-21 11:43 AM
I'd be happy to write up everything for it
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 11:43 AM
Eh sure, see if you can message there now
conalfisher24-Aug-21 11:43 AM
Nah, need permissions
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 11:43 AM
We just need to decide on if we will be delaying or not
conalfisher
Nah, need permissions
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 11:43 AM
One sec
conalfisher24-Aug-21 11:43 AM
I think a delay is necessary now, we've already pinged everyone to say so.
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 11:44 AM
Done
conalfisher24-Aug-21 11:44 AM
That's on me honestly, I asked merari to do it.

TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 11:44 AM
The delay?
conalfisher24-Aug-21 11:44 AM
Merari pinged everyone to say that this needs delayed, I asked them to
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 11:44 AM
I passed out for 3 hours after I was done running and wasn’t able to assist much. I’ll take the blame if needed
conalfisher24-Aug-21 11:44 AM
Actually they've deleted it I see
Hmm
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 11:45 AM
Either way let’s just get this done
@N8theGr8 You good with delaying?
conalfisher24-Aug-21 11:45 AM
I'll write up plans, I'll have it sorted in 15 minutes or so
TheSebtacular
@N8theGr8 You good with delaying?
N8theGr824-Aug-21 11:45 AM
personally I'd rather not.
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 11:45 AM
Which subs have been privated?
N8theGr824-Aug-21 11:46 AM
none, we're not privating, we're restricting. restricting acts as a signal boost for the letter.
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 11:46 AM
Same idea
Which subs have been restricted
N8theGr824-Aug-21 11:46 AM
tifu, lpt, cats, facepalm, mademesmile
conalfisher24-Aug-21 11:46 AM
Are subs going to be posting the letter, or linking to a single sub that hosts the letter?
N8theGr824-Aug-21 11:46 AM
linking to a single sub
that way edits will show on all version simultaneously
conalfisher24-Aug-21 11:46 AM
Good, I'll link that when the time comes
dubteedub24-Aug-21 11:47 AM

would it be preferred to crosspost and sticky?
N8theGr824-Aug-21 11:47 AM
yes. the original will be posted to r/vaxxhappened.
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 11:47 AM
I think a delay would be smart
rnz is gonna kill me in my sleep but it’s the best for organization. Does make us seem slightly less organized though(edited)
dubteedub24-Aug-21 11:49 AM
with all the edits / versions to the letter, should give folks at least a day to review them and comment
its not clear to me whose version is being used
N8theGr824-Aug-21 11:49 AM
then I think we need to pick a time around this time tomorrow, ping @ everyone today and say "we're restricting subs now to signal boost the letter, which will be posted tomorrow. you don't have to restrict your subreddit, but we're coordinating the posting for tomorrow"(edited)
we can also wait until next monday, but people are getting antsy. although keep in mind that it's easy to make mistakes when being too eager.(edited)
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 11:50 AM
Assuming we act in unison a bot could help
conalfisher24-Aug-21 11:50 AM
I think we should ping an hour before, half an hour before, then when it happens.
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 11:51 AM
Nah if we delay too long this’ll never be completed
We need to do it very soon
conalfisher24-Aug-21 11:53 AM
When will subs be getting set to restricted?
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 11:53 AM
If we’re delaying tomorrow at noon or 1 EST
N8theGr824-Aug-21 11:54 AM
you need to restrict them at least 6 hours before posting the letter, preferably 24
conalfisher24-Aug-21 11:55 AM
I'm thinking begin the protest at noon EST tomorrow, which is 5pm UTC., or pretty much in 24 hours
N8theGr824-Aug-21 11:55 AM
I'm about to ping everyone and just say we're posting at 12 noon EST tomororw
conalfisher24-Aug-21 11:55 AM
Give me a few minutes
I'm writing out the plan of action right now
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 11:56 AM
Let’s keep the subs restricted then
Shall I announce the delay?
conalfisher24-Aug-21 11:57 AM
If we're going to be pinging everyone for setting subs to restricted, there's not much point
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 11:57 AM
A warning is always a good idea
N8theGr824-Aug-21 11:57 AM
it's not a delay if we're restricting subs now. that's a step forward.
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 11:58 AM
I’ll announce then
conalfisher24-Aug-21 11:58 AM
Can I get perms to post in #plan ?
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 11:59 AM
You don’t have them?
Huh
Done
Merari0124-Aug-21 12:00 PM
Delay? Why? I have subs restricted now
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 12:00 PM
We’re not organized enough
Keep them restricted
Merari0124-Aug-21 12:00 PM
No
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 12:00 PM
Allows for better traction
conalfisher24-Aug-21 12:00 PM
It'll be happening noon tomorrow. Keep your subs restricted for the meantime.
Merari0124-Aug-21 12:00 PM
I'm opening up again. Jesus
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 12:01 PM
Alright, I am announcing the current plan
conalfisher24-Aug-21 12:01 PM
I've gotten a thing written out here
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 12:01 PM
Send it
conalfisher24-Aug-21 12:01 PM
Okay, so here's what's going to be happening.
The protest will begin 25th August (tomorrow) at 5pm UTC, 12pm EST. At this time, you can set your sub to private, or sticky a link to the letter in /r/vaxxhappened (which will be linked in this channel when it's up, you'll be pinged.)
If you're taking your sub private, link to the letter in the subreddit description, to direct users to it.
If you're just posting the letter to your sub, simply make a crosspost to it, and sticky it. We would also recommend setting your sub to restricted several hours beforehand, if you've not already, it'll make the post get to the front page easier.
Don't Leeroy Jenkins this, please. This needs to be coordinated. You will be pinged at T-1h before, T-30m before, and then when the protest begins, so you'll hopefully be prepared.
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 12:01 PM
Your perms were updated
N8theGr824-Aug-21 12:03 PM
At this time, you can set your sub to private, or sticky
please include something about going restricted in advance
conalfisher24-Aug-21 12:03 PM
I mentioned it a bit later but I'll edit it in there too
N8theGr824-Aug-21 12:03 PM
these subs are currently restricted: tifu restricted
facepalm restricted
MadeMeSmile restricted
Eyebleach restricted
starterpacks restricted
LeopardsAteMyFace restricted
confidentlyincorrect restricted
Prematurecelebration restricted
vaxxhappened restricted
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 12:03 PM
I’ll restrict some of mine also
#subreddits-participating will now contain subreddits that are restricted
conalfisher24-Aug-21 12:04 PM
r/youseeingthisshit/ is restricted
@Merari01 you good?
Merari0124-Aug-21 12:06 PM
I had half a dozen subreddits on restricted for no reason and I do not appreciate that
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 12:06 PM
It’s my fault, I’m sorry
Merari0124-Aug-21 12:08 PM
And @N8theGr8 if you want to keep your subreddits restricted then that's on you, but you will do the modmail
Im already at 200+ modmail messages and that's with access requests disabled
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 12:09 PM
Gotta love users
conalfisher24-Aug-21 12:09 PM
You can disable access requests?
Merari0124-Aug-21 12:10 PM
Yes but only on new reddit. Works for restricted as well as for private
__dawn__amber__24-Aug-21 12:10 PM
What are we supposed to tell the people in modmail?(edited)

hwhouston517
When will we restrict?
N8theGr824-Aug-21 01:02 PM
as soon as you're comfortable restricting
to guarantee your subreddit goes stale, restrict it 24 hours before posting. if you're too nervous to restrict it for that long, then at least 4-6 hours before posting.

yes. But if you want the sticky to be more impactful, then you can restrict your subreddit for several hours beforehand. I recommend 24 hours to fully ensure the post will be signal boosted, but even just 6 hours or so will help it.
rnz24-Aug-21 01:20 PM
alright. so the protest happens in ~24h from now (minus 20 min), from what i can see. thanks.

how long do we expect the shutdown to last?

Im not shutting down. Just posting a sticky, that Ill get attention to by restricting beforehand

Thrandhuil
well, how long do we expect the restricting/privatizing to last?
N8theGr824-Aug-21 01:41 PM
I'd keep it restricted about an hour after the sticky is made, that way you're less like to have a post overtake the sticky to get to the top(edited)

NatoBoram24-Aug-21 01:43 PM
@TheSebtacular Regarding #updates, you can use a timestamp so everyone can see the date in their local timezone
So we're kinda disorganized and it shows. They're even talking about this fact on the BPT slack. We all want the same thing, so let's try to work together toward a common goal. It's not really an issue like it was earlier today, but infighting can derail the entire project, so let's all try to work together please.
TheSebtacular24-Aug-21 01:44 PM
Oh that’s cool
N8theGr824-Aug-21 01:48 PM
Here's where we're at:
* letter is almost complete

i am curious which community would have it out for them. chan communities are usually alt-right?
N8theGr824-Aug-21 03:12 PM
some of the chan communities are more about trolling/anarchy than really picking sides. they'll go after anyone to provoke a reaction. basically the 4chan version of r/drama.
killthekaiser24-Aug-21 03:16 PM
Most of them hate/ban for reddit drama i think
4chan communities

@TheSebtacular vaxxhappened needs invites to this server
I'm pinging because they are a very important part of the protest
What happened to #plan are we going through with this or not?
It’s imperative that we are all on the same page so this works
conalfisher
Okay, so here's what's going to be happening.
The protest will begin 25th August (tomorrow) at 5pm UTC, 12pm EST.
At this time, you can set your sub to private, or sticky a link to the
letter in /r/vaxxhappened (which will be linked in this channel when
it's up, you'll be pinged.)
If you're taking your sub private, link to the letter in the subreddit description, to direct users to it.
If you're just posting the letter to your sub, simply make a
crosspost to it, and sticky it. We would also recommend setting your sub
to restricted several hours beforehand, if you've not already, it'll

will be pinged at T-1h before, T-30m before, and then when the protest
begins, so you'll hopefully be prepared.

to clarify, i should have specified that my comment "got deleted it seems" was in regards to this comment here (regarding the deleted #plan channel) not in regards to the OOTL thread
Space Jesus25-Aug-21 05:37 AM
ah
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 05:43 AM
Man this is hard to keep a secret
We need to have this letter done. The chats have been leaked by multiple people and there’s not much we can do
I will be grabbing the most up to date letter and posting it when the time comes so make sure it’s done, people
which means someone here has a direct contact to their mods
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 06:06 AM
Unless we find them there’s not much we can do
rnz25-Aug-21 06:17 AM
its a non-issue, we would have come out in public anyway, the concern with secrecy has always been irrelevant, since this is about public communication. let's focus on getting the letter finished and voted on here asap, so that we can actually act as according to plan.
which means someone here has a direct contact to their mods
mega25-Aug-21 06:30 AM
no someone just blasted it to wrd
i think there's only one probable suspect.....
kewlbro25-Aug-21 06:30 AM

i dont. alright, so thats the version that goes public, right?
Malachi_Noel325-Aug-21 07:35 AM
It would be funny if Mr. Leaker leaked the finished thing 4 hours before we posted it. It would probably give us a boost

They were Cyxie, GB, Mer, Susan, and one other I think (probably N8)

N8theGr825-Aug-21 07:54 AM
@everyone we're posting the letter at noon EST today, which is in just over 4 hours. Here's the closest copy to the final draft https://www.reddit.com/r/CovidOnReddit/comments/ozdmph/open_letter_to_admins_about_covid_misinfo/haa3emu/. If you are planning to restrict your subreddit in advance, now would be the best time to do so. The initial copy will be posted to r/vaxxhappened and then everyone can crosspost from there.(edited)
rnz25-Aug-21 07:54 AM
expectations about (lack) of privacy should have been made clear from the start. /r/modtalk has had leaks since 13 years ago, same happened to irc, same with discord. why we would expect privacy, even care about leaks is beyond me. deleting content and channels is counter-productive and serves nothing. lets just push forward and stop impeding ourselves

why would you ever expect a bunch of anonymous accounts to guarantee privacy?

There are always leakers. It's not something to get completely bent out of shape about.
femilip25-Aug-21 08:09 AM
But I get it might have been too much for this
It's already happened so really no point in arguing about it
N8theGr825-Aug-21 08:09 AM
I batch-added every mod from every participating subreddit to r/covidonreddit. It was likely that someone who didn't agree with the project got added, but I also didn't have the time to actually vet every single person.
femilip25-Aug-21 08:09 AM
I understand.
N8theGr825-Aug-21 08:10 AM
as it is, only 1/6 of those added even joined the discord
rnz25-Aug-21 08:10 AM
you cant vet actual opinions, you can only review posting history of the account - which has obvious limitations
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 08:11 AM
Anything interesting happen?
rnz25-Aug-21 08:11 AM
well, we ~sort of voted that this is the final version of the draft
It'll be the place that everyone flocks to when trying to find out what's happening, so it tends to stay open for these kind of things
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 08:13 AM

N8theGr825-Aug-21 08:14 AM
if someone wants to prepare a "what's going on with subreddits going private" writeup for us to use it might be helpful. the info is pretty much already there in the open letter, though.
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 08:15 AM
We should do a q&a
Might as well be public about it

No, like all the tractor/farm stores. I just think it's hilarious that it's apple-flavored.
I'm just imagining covidiots complaining because it's not cherry flavored

if someone wants to prepare a "what's going on with subreddits going
private" writeup for us to use it might be helpful. the info is pretty
much already there in the open letter, though.
rnz25-Aug-21 08:27 AM
ok, i will try to help with that. what are some questions we can consider for it?
1. Why is the subreddit going private/restricted?
2. What do we hope to achieve with this?
3. How long will it last?
anything else to prepare?
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 08:27 AM
We won’t be publicly saying how long it will last for hopefully obvious reasons
rnz25-Aug-21 08:28 AM
so remove the question? or say something still?

It should look like a neutral reporter showing up to explain the situation. It's not an open letter like the rest.

TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 08:30 AM
Well issue is we can’t say anything too important here
rnz25-Aug-21 08:30 AM
please ignore the fucker, and lets do our job. this expectation of privacy is not realistic.
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 08:32 AM
I would like some is what I’m saying
rnz25-Aug-21 08:33 AM
1. What is going on/why are subreddits going private/restricted?
On reddit, disinformation and lies about covid/vaccines/preventative measures have been allowed to spread readily through inaction and malice, and have dragged this on at the cost of lives. Multiple subreddits are calling on the admins to take ownership of their website, and remove dangerous medical disinformation that is endangering lives and contributing to the existence of this ongoing pandemic.
2. What do they hope to achieve with this?
Subreddits which exist solely to spread medical disinformation and undermine efforts to combat the global pandemic should be banned.
3. How long will it last?
There is no set date for ending the protest, it depends on the reddit admin reaction.
feedback on first q&a?(edited)

its in regard to this writeup
conalfisher25-Aug-21 08:36 AM
Are we still talking about OotL? If so then I don't think those answers would, they're definitely not neutral
rnz25-Aug-21 08:37 AM
conal, n8 asked up for a writeup to use
conalfisher25-Aug-21 08:37 AM
Neutral would be "these subs are going private to protest NNN and other subs that are anti vaccine"
rnz25-Aug-21 08:37 AM
i tried to give my feedback
ah. let me reword
conalfisher25-Aug-21 08:38 AM
I understand completely, it's just that OotL answers are generally meant to be super unbiased. It might honestly be better to let someone not involved in this situation at all write them.

there is nothing you can verify on this matter. for all everyone knows here, i own all the accounts, besides yours ofc
Obliviater25-Aug-21 08:46 AM
Even if everyone was verified, there's nothing stopping verified people from leaking things lol
Best policy is to always conduct yourself in a way that wouldn't be embarrassing if it were made public
That should always be your goal.
conalfisher25-Aug-21 08:46 AM
Yeah, you can just screenshot and crop out the username
As far as I know there's no way to identify someone based on this information
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 08:49 AM
There isn’t
I’m just gonna send this to vice and boredpanda if they need it
N8theGr825-Aug-21 08:49 AM
it's whatever. they know about it a day early. the admins had to have known this was coming anyway, it's not like we didn't plan this out on reddit or something.

Or is this unrelated

a month?
BuckRowdy25-Aug-21 01:29 PM
A month on reddit is like 5 years irl.
The point to my question about what the actual demands of reddit are that would satisfy the concerns enough to re-open the subs like normal is that we need to give reddit an out.
If we say, "if you don't ban NNN by Friday we take the subs private for a month" I don't know that they're going to respond to that in a satisfying way.
Does that make sense?
kewlbro25-Aug-21 01:33 PM
They will respond, we are affecting their traffic(money) by privating our subs.
hwhouston51725-Aug-21 01:33 PM

I've reached out to BusinessInsider and said we'd be willing to give a statement, interview, etc. as an update on their story if they'd like. I'd certainly love to give them my personal troubles I've been having with the presence of covid misinformation through Reddit.

To be quite honest, I really think this kind of organised action shouldn't be possible on Reddit. I know I'm saying that while literally participating in it to a large extent, I think this was definitely justified, but what this essentially is, is a relatively small group of users taking control of the site to make the admins do something. This kind of action could easily be used for worse purposes. We're fortunate that the people in control are, you know, not fucking idiots, but this kind of action is only possible through exploiting flaws in Reddit's moderation system. I don't have a problem with this protest in particular (hence why I was, you know, involved in it), but I think Reddit needs to 1. Get their own shit together so this kind of action doesn't need to happen again, and 2. Fix the moderation system.

I agree, we are not. We don't have any right. But action had to be taken, we have the power and we can put into a good use
I don't see any problem
conalfisher25-Aug-21 03:53 PM
Perhaps I'm thinking too idealistically though. My point assumes that the Reddit admins are at all competent, which is certainly wishful thinking. We are just using the means available to us here, even if they're objectively exploitative of the system.

I think the moderation system as a whole needs to be overhauled to some extent. I've thought this since the whole 6/100 drama, there's many reasons why. Perhaps it should be made more democratic or something, idk. There are many ways the system could be improved, but we work with what we have.

Reddit is a public company that relies on advertising. Users can create subs with full control over them, and if users use that control over the subs, it is not an unethical thing.

I think the idea that we have a right to do anything only makes sense if you think that we represent the users of the sub. Realistically, I don't think that's the case.

Ivermectin is not just "horse dewormer". Ivermectin has been FDA approved as both safe and effective for almost 30 years for use in humans for multiple conditions. Want proof? Go to the FDA drugs database https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/daf/index.cfm and search for Ivermectin. That's the generic name. Here's one of the approvals for oral tablets in humans from 1996
Literally the first thing when you do that says
Should I take ivermectin to prevent or treat COVID-19? A: No.

compressed version in case anyone wants to lock subs
Reddit
CEO, u/spez, has posted an announcement disregarding our combined
efforts to end misinformation on the platform, No matter how much the
administration team may try to push aside the fact a good portion of
their website is protesting right now, they will never be able to push
aside the reality that people are dying due to their negligence and
hesitation to act. There is no place for misinformation on Reddit.

We will not back down.
Reddit continues to allow misinformation to persist on their website. We
will not allow this to continue Reddit CEO, u/spez, has posted an
announcement disregarding our combined efforts, No matter how much the
administration team may try to push aside the fact a good portion of
their website is protesting right now, they will never be able to push
aside the reality that people are dying due to their negligence and
hesitation to act. Reddit administrators are too scared to say this, so
we'll say it ourselves: Misinformation has no place on Reddit. We will
not back down.

TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 07:51 PM
Ok
dubteedub25-Aug-21 07:51 PM
Now that spez has responded, I agree a lock/private protest is a good idea
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 07:51 PM
I will call a vote tomorrow on whether to private the subs
dooodaaad
lock on friday
Lauren_ev25-Aug-21 07:51 PM
I think we’ll lose traction by then
dubteedub25-Aug-21 07:51 PM
Like do it over the weekend or something
Nep25-Aug-21 07:51 PM
personally I think "tomorrow" is too late.

Today is already past deadline
Nep25-Aug-21 07:52 PM
we were supposed to do this weeks ago.
im tired of seeing people die. Friends family members... the news...
poptart2nd25-Aug-21 07:52 PM
yeah but they quarantined so we backed off
dubteedub25-Aug-21 07:52 PM
If you do it first thing tomorrow or friday morning the media will have plenty of time to report
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 07:52 PM
I’m calling a poll
dubteedub25-Aug-21 07:53 PM
I meant that its past the deadline for media folks
You also need to communicate a plan to all subs that signed on
2
Which takes time
Especially since the list is still hugely expanding
So friday seems doable to have a day of organzing tomorrow imo
we would need at least a day to message every sub that signed on
N8theGr825-Aug-21 07:56 PM
I think they'll just undo it tbh. you're trying to skip the step where the media drags reddit.

Nep25-Aug-21 07:57 PM

sooz25-Aug-21 07:57 PM
it makes them look like a bitch and they'll have to walk it back
poptart2nd25-Aug-21 07:57 PM
because we need to get everyone on board before doing anything
Merari0125-Aug-21 07:57 PM
I think privating is a bad idea but teams need to make their own decision in that
blob.
why?
conalfisher25-Aug-21 07:58 PM
This is a completely kneejerk reaction, it's not thought out at all, it's coming completely out of left field, there is no downside to letting things stay the way they are for even just a day to see who blinks first, us or the admins.

valid point. If Reddit got rid of everybody who disagreed with the
mainstream narrative, half of Reddit would die off. Redditors thrive on
being contrarian and annoying.

Question for you: what kind of rigorous standard will be set to identify and combat misinformation?
That needs to be quantifiable and readily benchmarked because the issue with misinformation is that it’s not easy to combat immediately. Once it’s out there, it’s not something that can be easily scrubbed away.
Budlejari25-Aug-21 08:15 PM
@TheSebtacular I think you shouldn't necessarily call it off but say "we're discussing and planning in response to this".

One of the very first things I said when I joined this Discord is to not take this the same way the last private protest did, going entirely reactionary and acting like a mob. Don't make rash decisions. Don't open and close super important votes in less than 20 seconds. Have a discussion before any big decisions. Don't fuck this up

More likely they'd take away our ability to ever do something like this again. Please remember that the original large blackout which was partly to protest Victoria being fired from AMA (or IAMA, I forget?) had as most memorable result the end of default subreddits

If we really want to get diplomatic we can invite them to discuss here

it generates publicity
K4P25-Aug-21 08:40 PM
Agreed. Some of us know Admins too, a lot of them are not indifferent but have their hands bound. It's way more productive to achieve our goal of "being heard" rather than fighting them.
The "we'll all get removed as mod" is a possibility but just speculation. Let us work to try to make it work

He's basically endorsing them at this point.
He locks down the post so he doesn't have to answer the mods. No megathread with all unhappy campers.
Mods are stuck crossposting, and dealing with the antivaxxers on their own subs, individually.
And then he doesn't show up nowhere.

dubteedub25-Aug-21 09:04 PM

He also gets to arbitraily restrict which subs show up on the crosspsot sticky comment

Yes, but once we've decided on our list of demands and organised..
Because once the subs go down, it's playing a waiting game with the admins.

Powerchicken25-Aug-21 09:06 PM
Too early for that, need to make a genuine effort to get in touch with the admins to discuss the matter before an actual blackout is on the table.

We need to look reasonable.
Reasonable people doing what they can protect their communities and achieve change for the site.
Not irrational angry people throwing a hissy fit because the admins said no.

Thanks. I’m Still catching up. But Spez makes it pretty clear they don’t care about our opinions.

It disrupts the 'normal use' of Reddit.
Since, you know, people can't use half of Reddit if it's dark.
Lauren_ev25-Aug-21 09:11 PM
They gave us the ability to restrict
Budlejari25-Aug-21 09:12 PM
Yes. But using it as a co-ordinated method to close down people's access to force a response from the admins is misusing a tool.
For example, imagine that every conservative sub had shut down to protest Donald Trump's loss and refused to re-open until Reddit banned a sub.
Or reinstated The Donald.
That would also be manipulating Reddit to force a result.
I don't agree that what they're doing is right. But we are technically breaking their rules by doing so and they can technically tell us to get off their site for doing so.
And technically right is the Reddit form of right.

Budlejari25-Aug-21 09:15 PM
I don't agree with what they're doing. What I want is for this to happen in a way that
a) hits them where it hurts
b) doesn't leave us, the protestors, wide open to them going, "you broke our rules, bye bye!" and us not having a leg to stand on.
...
Sure, I'm not gonna argue with you. I just pointed out that they are correct in that we would be breaking the rules. It's highly likely that the most 'rabble-rousing' of the protest could see consequences because Reddit will point to their rules, that they write, that benefits them to do this.
I want to do it right.
I want the anti-vaxxers and the misinformationers to fuck right off because I'm tired of taking it off my sub.
Well, since you didn't write them and neither did I, I think that the only people who know are the admins. And they seem quite happy to be veeeeeeery vague about it until they need it.

Between the frontpage stuff today and the spez announcement the spotlight is on you guys to adequately respond and come up with something in order to flip the script here. Right now admins don't give a fuck and see this as something that will evaporate into nothingness

kewlbro25-Aug-21 10:43 PM
it will turn out, as you want,provided you work for it(edited)

This ban bot is a joke. I made one sarcastic comment in that sub and now I’m getting banned from subreddits every hour.. seriously
Merari0125-Aug-21 10:43 PM
N8 can unban you from most of not all but it'll likely take some time, sorry
K4P
The idea is too discourage people from helping it gain traction, like it did T_D.
I thought we would stop the bot after thr quarantine, but it turned out to be a half/quarantine
SuitingUncle62025-Aug-21 10:44 PM
Doesn’t make it any less annoying for someone who’s obviously not an avid user of said subreddit to get banned, banned, banned
BuckRowdy25-Aug-21 10:44 PM
You guys should appoint a committee of like 1-2 reps from each sub. There's too many voices in here to effectively plan this.

we also need to gather emails or contact info for mods in case Reddit really decides to pull the rug out from under the top people involved in this.
It would be too easy to flush posts around this and lose those lists of who wants to be involved.
Yeah, we gotta keep the pace up. We need to change his mind

earlier it was, not now for me

Mine is literally taking 15 seconds to load a text only page.
Modmail is unusuable.
I can't spell that word.

We're supposed to be guaranteed 13 mbps.
I think we're lucky if we get 2.

hwhouston51725-Aug-21 11:36 PM
Well, r/ivermectin exists.
This tells you everything you need to know.
This is so ironic it has no words. They do not trust an FDA approved vaccine because it was “too quickly rushed” and yet trust this, with little to no research behind it or what the long term affects could be.
I can’t even laugh. I don’t even feel any emotions. I feel like I should but I just can’t.
This is a mix of hypocrisy and dread for these people.
poptart2nd25-Aug-21 11:39 PM
the hypocrisy is the point

Denying news with a source because it doesn’t fit your supposed narrative.

I’m seeing a lot of garbage about the lab leak theory all the sudden.
With emphasis on distrust of authorities. “Leaked emails showed they immediately tried to discredit the [unfounded racist conspiracy theory]!”
“Scientists admitted in secret it was a possibility!”
Tenebra9926-Aug-21 12:52 AM
Spez can go... fuck himself. He has no idea what the heck he is talking about. This is not a "debate". Misinformation kills people and he refuses to accept that.
