Maybe that was the point? Aaron Schwartz died in prison in a very similar way to how epstein allegedly died. There is a theory pushed around that they didn't want his case to go to discovery as that would put the paywalls on university research in danger. Paywalls created by Robert Maxwell. Schwartz dies then reddit falls under maxwells control? Kinda sus as the kids used to say. So after reddit get's taken over they start shadowbanning the people not conforming and sending them over to /pol/ to get contained over there.
That would explain why they went after voat HARD. The pizzagate fourm kept finding mossad activity and when they linked that one vpn to mossad voat got hit hard by a DDOS. That was also after that power user "she" got banned which i am now starting to wonder was maxwell's alt....
This raises another question: Was epstein associated directly or adjacently to cloudflare?
Makes me wonder if the troons like keffles are also foot soldiers in the same organization? They claim to give troonshine to kids on their discord.
It's that damned meme where you research conspiracies and it all goes back to the same people.
I think people put way too much faith in conspiracy theories when it comes to taking over reddit or discussion venues/forums/imageboards being taken over by trannies or whatever school of thought.
The reality is that designing a forum/imageboard and building a substantial userbase and maintaining that userbase is a giant, lengthy effort. People like moot and even null accidentally ventured into this while Jack from The Xitty/Twitter purposefully built a platform with "changing the world" in mind.
All of these online platforms are just like a chess club or volunteer firefighting teams or the local retirement community. There's a special few people who have a brilliant energy that creates an amazing atmosphere but people move on, people die, people have arguments.
The reason why reddit, pol, wikipedia, youtube and so many other places either failed or became inept or had some particular political stance likely isn't a result of purposeful activity (for the most part) and likely rooted in the sheer difficulty of making a place like that consistent and lasting.
These concepts and projects are really not that different to something like DOTA 2. It requires an immense amount of coordination and effort to have a successful game and more often than not people get matched with total randoms with no cohesion:
That saying is so immensely true and on top of that there is a lot of group psychology involved. When people have a steady paycheck from a project or a "title" of some sort the dynamics of their actions and the idea/project they work on almost always devolves inwards and they spend more time discussing their role and rules than doing anything productive:
None of this is to say it is "impossible" to have something that improves upon these faults, but the truth of the matter is that many of these alt-projects like encyclopedia dramatic and 4chan and other chans are created by outcasts of mainstream social media. That isn't necessarily a fault because they often have exciting ideas and a large amount of passion but there are often reasons that they're outcasts in the first place and beside creating interesting things they also bring an element of chaos and disorder that results in these organizations being extremely chaotic.
There probably are people and groups out there that conspire to control and destroy things they don't like, but the far more likely, far more realistic and far more frequent instance is when people like Keffals just come to inhabit a borderline controversial "job title" that is easy to make exist. People already disliked transgender people before Keffals decided to be a cunt - he may have been in secret discords and other shit but he did all the dumb shit that he did by himself.
Him doing fart dominatrix videos and all the other degeneracy is your best clue that most of these unstable actors aren't proactively doing things to create or challenge ideas, they are just throwing themselves out in the world and colliding with what already exists. In this case, before Keffals became "famous" the k-farms and 4chans and xitty accounts all existed - Keffals just built themself into an extremely dislikeable person who fit into all of these perfectly.
edit: all this is to say that people theoretically have control over what they pay attention to and where they spend their time reading, watching, learning and discussing. Some ideas are really interesting to explore and others (like Keffals) are a total waste of time and end up benefiting them (at least temporarily). If people spend all of their time discussing stuff in platforms they already know are shit (whether that is a result of some grand conspiracy or just the fact that it sucks and the culture sucks - which no one is ever going to be able ot change) then you get a very simple result: garbage in, garbage out.
