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

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
NEW TERMINOLOGY
"nigger" = negro, negroid
"jew" or "kike" = Canaanite, Babylonian, Non-Hebrew, Edomite, Sodomite, Non-Israelite, Godless, Bolshevik, Atheist, Shylock, Socialist, Communist, Feminists, THOT, LGBQTPedo, Foreign Spy, Pornographer, Real Nazis, etc...

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?
darkknight111 ago
My point is the following:
Here and the QBoards are adjacent communities, especially in “their” eyes. I believe OP made the right call both from a moral and logical stand point when he shared the warning with us.
Looking at what’s been happening lately (banning the word Pedowood from Twitter searches and the banning of r/pedogate), the logical conclusion is that we are the next targets.
My hunch regarding who’s connected to the linked article just got proven right. Meaning that a likely end game is doxxing pizzagaters to bring about offline harm.
shewhomustbeobeyed ago
So do I.
Voat has always been a target. We've always been next.
Who would that be?
By whom?
darkknight111 ago
This article was written by someone beloved by The Atlantic.
The Atlantic -> Travis View (big anti pizzagate shill), Mike Rothschild and Fredrick Brennan (former owner of 8chan, pedophile, cyber criminal). The later one is very big into deplatforming and more importantly, doxxing people then inciting people to cause as much offline harm to them as possible.

When @alphabravo showed up here at the end of October 2017 and DMed me to find out how to make a non-rule-breaking submission about "Breadcrumbs anon" who later designated himself "Q Clearance Patriot" aka QAnon, (which was odd in itself, since most new people are oblivious to our submission rules), one of the strangest things he said was "Keep doing what you're doing. It's having a much bigger impact than you know. People at high levels watch this board."
There is zero doubt in my mind that the opposition to us is highly organized. Many good moderators here have been doxxed and run off Voat -- @PleadingtheYiff and @pizzathrowaway777, who were doxxed right after the Reddit migration, @abortionburger the following year, and of course @srayzie, who was first run off of v/pizzagate and went on to create the main target of this research, v/GreatAwakening and was then doxxed and forced off Voat entirely.
GA is still going strong, which makes this "research study" all the more gratifying.
As a longtime observer and researcher into the shills behind those doxxing efforts, I can tell you they all share two things in common: hatred of Trump and/or QAnon. Most of them also espoused "concern" for child victims to justify their actions. The operation to take down srayzie exposed the true nature of numerous well-camouflaged shills, including the most powerful account on Voat, @Kevdude. They didn't survive their efforts. :-)
None of the pizzagate mods, by the way, faced any real life trouble after they left Voat. It was all hot air.
The goal is intimidation. Don't fall for it.
shewhomustbeobeyed ago
Too bad the members of PG don't have the same experience as you mods do. I wonder why that is?
Vindicator ago
What does that mean?
To my knowledge, only a few non-mod members of this board have been doxed. @PizzagateGear and @RebelSkum, and they were left alone as soon as they stopped researching and posting here, just like the mods who were doxed. Several others doxed themselves and switched accounts but faced no RL consequences.
Only two people have come to harm that I know of: Kappy, who was never a subscriber here to my knowledge, and Jenny Moore, whose RL identity was not known during her time on this board.
BTW: Innuendo smears don't work here anymore.

Just checking to see if you were still paying attention, since you've placed me into persona non grata status. You are too easy.
Mine too. But my list has more. Which you know of, since I told you few years ago.
BTW: You're the one who chose for me to discuss my concerns out in the open. Once I found out you were sharing my DMs with the rest of your crew. I tried to play your games, but they always made me feel dirty. scrazy, ES/DGB, GG, ZB, fagos, mocockslutter, t_o_o, and crunchy, ARE DIRTY. ALL OF THEM.
If you weren't too stubborn to answer my DMs, we wouldn't be having a public fight. You know this, right?

I don't get DMs from you, because I blocked you quite a while back when it became clear you were not here for Good, but only to attack and tear down and demoralize people.
shewhomustbeobeyed ago
Oh, I forgot. You don't need me to ping you, since you've been surveilling and archiving my comments, for the longest time.
So tell me, have I thrown a big enough fuss for you all to knock it off, yet? I asked you to stop, have you? Did you ask @MadWorld to stop, when I asked you to?
You never answered me. Are you willing to stop?
