How does \r\conspiracy even exist on Reddit?

Must be really watered down.

It helps them to calibrate their censorship algorithms, and corrals dissenting voices into one sub.

I was thinking about that today because I saw a bunch of comments that just said “link?”

It serves both as a honeypot for those posting actual conspiracies (those posts will be quickly removed, the posters blacklisted by Reddit) and an artificial place to show normies how "all conspiracies are crazy" (since those are the only ones allowed to stay up).

Kind of like the worst, possible false flag pro-trump comments will be allowed to stay up on subs like /r/politics (but heavily brigaded, of course), but actual well informed comments refuting their points get censored.

They did remove u/JamesColePardon who was one of the best mods on the site.

Also, /u/Flytape (who got tired of all the BS), /u/RecoveringGrace and /u/aleister. Magnora himself was kept from becoming a mod and other rather popular users, were banned from r/conspiracy like RMFN. I've had to deal with several suspension attempts etc.. I don't know to what degree has the mod group been corrupted but I can't say I trust them.

Look through the amount of censorship there, its a completely 'dictated' sub. Since 2y ago.

Not to mention the current mods there are complete douchebags. The top mod u/Axolotl_Peyotl literally colluded with the admins to get u/Flytape and other mods removed from r/conspiracy. u/Axolotl_Peyotl constantly complains about Reddit's censorship, but is the most censor-happy mod I have ever seen on that sub. He only applies the rules if its about something he personally disagrees with, its getting to the point where the mods will pretty much remove any comment or post that criticizes them or the sub. What a bunch of pricks.
