Sounds great! The more the merrier. He also endorsed saidit in the comments of his announcement post :) I hope they can avoid a voat-like fate.

Voat and Poal are both run by Hasbara. They're the fake alternatives to Reddit. Thankfully, we're not.

Oh, so is that Voat’s “Angel Investor” who would only invest if they remained anonymous? I remember Atko got so upset, he quit. And Atko was a really nice person, you could actually have conversations with them.

After Atko left and the “Angel Investor” came in, Voat rolled the fuck down hill.

Neither old-school Reddit, nor the current reddit, was ever dominated by conspiracy theorists and science deniers.

Sure they are. You've got CAGW nuts, Russian collusion nuts, Vaxxers, people who believe that masks prevent Coronavirus, and people who claim right wingers are conspiring to overturn election results. Oh, and all the Trump hoax spreaders (the racism hoax, the peeing hoax, the rape hoaxes...)

[–]FediNetizen 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

The people that believed in that Trump shit are pretty comparable to the people that believe in this 2020 election fraud shit. They're not conspiracy theorists, they're just drooling idiots that blindly swallow whatever the political figures they're rooting for tell them despite the lack of credible evidence.

With regards to the other things you mentioned, you seem a bit confused. So I will give you a handy list of examples, and maybe from this you can figure out what a science denier actually is:

  • You believe that the earth is 6,000 years old. The vast majority of relevant and credible science suggests that the earth is several billion years old. As someone that denies the relevance and credibility of what the scientists say, this means that you *are* a science denier.
  • A "CAGW Nut" would be someone that believes the current warming trend is caused by humans and will eventually lead to serious environmental harm. The vast majority of relevant and credible science suggests, and the vast majority of scientists believe, that this is the case. As someone that accepts the relevance and credibility of what the scientists say, a "CAGW Nut" would *not* be a science denier.

Do you need more examples? Or do you think you might have some idea of what a science denier actually is?

Is that like one of those Starbucks that gives handjobs?

That sounds awful! Please, give me a list, so I know where to never ever go...

"CAGW Nut" would not be a science denier.

Bro. As a former true believer in global warming. I can say that it's a legit scientific hoax.

It's a "Club is Rome" conspiracy, and is not based in scientific observation.

They are cooking the books.

yet all are infested with slogan slinging leftists

[–]Canbot 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

It's a funny thing, both conspiracy theorist and science denier can be used by either faction of any dichotomy to slander the other. For example the left will claim the right are science deniers for claiming that global warming isn't real while the right will claim that the left are science deniers for claiming that IQ isn't real and gender is a social construct. I don't have a problem with either claim so long as it is supported with an actual argument. However, simply using it as a derogatory name without anything to back it up is stupid.

Why do you call Voat and Poal fake?

You have to assume that "they" are monitoring everything posted here just as well as those compromised sites. Doesn't make postings by users fake.

when he says fake alternatives he doesn't mean they have a few paid shills it has to do with who runs the site, now maybe it doesn't matter. I do like how there is no censorship on voat but you can't really have a legit discussion there. The lame memes and insults turn off legit intelligent posters. When you post on these kinds of sites your IP address is recorded. Israel runs voat and wants to use it to catch any possible terrorists so they encourage antisemitic posts there. Then they investigate each one to see if it is a real threat. It never has been yet since they're all just tough guy keyboard warriors but it is possible that some have been legit threats that they took out quietly and we never knew about it.

Absolutely true. People who don't want to scrutinize evidence are common there.

Because they use the same Hasbara propraganda you see on every "alt-right" Jewish website.

I guess I'm happy for them. I'm afraid this may dilute or drain the pool here. On the other hand, if we/they can federate that'd be awesome. I'm for aggregating together but decentralized, like a Yin-Yang yo-yo.

I felt like he was the only mod there that wasn't a shill.

“Sandyhook was staged - change my mind” - ahole_paidoffal

“And I, myself, have almost had like a form of psychosis back in the past where I basically thought everything was staged, even though I’ve now learned a lot of times things aren’t staged, so I think as a pundit, someone giving an opinion, that my opinions have been wrong”- Alex Jones on claims Sandyhook was staged

[–]JasonCarswellPlatinum Foil Fedora 6 insightful - 5 fun6 insightful - 4 fun7 insightful - 5 fun -  (0 children)

Sandy Hook has waaaaaaaaaaay too many problems to be legit or as they claim. Psy-op all the way. 8 years ago tomorrow, 2012-12-14.

In fact, in the first two weeks of December, except 2019 (prepping for COVID), there have been major staged events every year since Sandy Hook and the NDAA 2013, passed 2012-12-20 signed by Obama 2013-01-02.

Like last year's warning, I was thinking of making a post about this again, but I've procrastinated, and since they skipped last year making me regret my warning, and so far nothing like that's happened so far this December, maybe that kind of thing is old school fear porn like their lone shooters and serial killers.

Yeah, it was laughably fake. What's your point?

[–]insta 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Sandyhook is whatever.

But if you believe the official narrative on the Vegas shooter you're simply a puppet who led by the television screen.
