Patriots. You are being watched.
Words matter. Language matters.
Mods, consider your own words, and the impact that it has on discussion and tone.
Optics Matter, Slurs Detract.

In this work, we focus on characterizing the QAnon movement on this http URL [Voat.co]. QAnon is a conspiracy theory that supports the idea that powerful politicians, aristocrats, and celebrities are closely engaged in a pedophile ring. At the same time, many governments are controlled by the "puppet masters" where the democratically elected officials serve as a fake showroom of democracy. Voat, a 5-year-old news aggregator, captured the interest of many journalists because of the often hateful content its users' post. Hence, we collect data from seventeen QAnon related subverses to characterize the narrative around QAnon, detect the most prominent topics of discussion, and showcase how the different topics and terms used in QAnon related subverses are interconnected.

notable sections:
Notably, we relied on a word2vec model to illustrate the connection of different terms to closely related words. We found that the terms "qanon" and "q" are closely related to other conspiracy theories like "pizzagate"
Last we attempt to showcase how racist these communities tend to be, motivated by the slurs we detect in the word2vec model vocabulary and in the topic modeling we performed in Section 5.1. We now calculate the cosine similarity of the terms "nigger," and "jew."
By looking at Table 6, it is clear that the term "nigger" is associated with many hateful slurs like "kike" (a contemptuous term used to refer to a person of the Jewish religion or descent) "faggot" and "filthy"
As hypothesized, the term "jew" is closely related to words associated with the holocaust, and the terms "masters," and "puppet" which suggests that indeed the users in these communities blame people of the Jewish religion or descent for corrupting their government, and leading the "deep state"
Alarmingly, we found that only one user authored about 30% of the total submissions posted in the most active subverse
Whoever restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.

Which user are they talking about? Do you know?
I knew this would happen. This is why Q worship doesn't belong here. I wonder why they didn't point out that the main (M)od on GA, is a OTO lovin', liberal foreigner. Who thinks he's a more Pay-triotic Amerikun than those of us who knew they would use Q to sully PG investigation. SMH @heygeorge @vindicator @MadWorld

Read between the lines.
The articles are likely part of a bigger move to justify taking voat down.
They may use similar tactics to the ones used to deplatform 8chan last August.
Expect a potential false flag.

You just stated the obvious. Maybe tell me something I don't know? Like, read between what lines?

That's the best you've got? I've done you no harm, ever. Why is it bad to think the enemy of my enemy, isn't my friend? Especially when they have labelled us 'pizzagate' to begin with. And now try to label us as qtards. "Just another bunch of right winged wackos." "Nothing to see here folks."
