In light of the direction the internet has been heading as of late, the /r/conspiracy mod team would be remiss if we didn't have some sort of back-up/contingency plan if /r/conspiracy were censored or otherwise neutered.

Now, we've always had the voat subverse at our disposal:

https://voat.co/v/conspiracy

But the "controversial" content on voat and the interface has made a mass migration there less feasible.

But now we have: https://conspiracies.win/

Now, I would imagine that the ".win" url might elicit strong emotions across the board, especially due to a certain reddit community that migrated there within the last year.

Well, I can state unequivocally that conspiracies.win will be independent and a separate entity from other .win's.

To be fully transparent with the timeline of how this came about, the .win folks reached out to see if we were interested in a conspiracy forum on the site, as they are planning on expanding to other areas and topics.

I personally have taken the initiative and accepted, under the condition that the /r/conspiracy mod team take full control of the space.

Now, there will be announcements and naturally cross-pollination from that other .win community that-shall-not-be-named, but I'm telling this community FIRST, so we can start populating the space with our "peoples" and get the ball rolling. Please start posting there immediately!

For those who don't know, that certain ".win" is exploding in traffic and activity, and getting a conspiracy forum there going could ultimately prove very lucrative and productive. It certainly can't hurt, especially due to the massive crackdown of free speech on reddit and elsewhere.

For example, .win has been bringing in 300 million+ pageviews per month, and recently broke the top 500 in Alexa rankings.

Imagine if we combined the free speech of voat with the numbers and passion of /r/conspiracy...we would have a devastatingly powerful forum.

Is this that forum? Time will tell, but it's a start!

We obviously need to work on the design/CSS, so if anyone is interested in helping out with that, please let me know!

To reiterate, this new forum is not meant to be a partisan space. Conspiracies are traditionally not partisan and span the political spectrum.

Let's GO.
