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.

wasn't there someone here trying to warn everyone that all their information was already out there and told people where to find it?

I'm not aware of that.

Well I'm too lazy to sift through the drama but some people claimed to have ip access and Gotham girl was just posting about it.
Moderators claimed @thewebofslime was collecting ips and banned him but he showed how everyone's passwords are already out on the Internet ip is irrelevant just need username or email address.
Then he proved it further by leaking passwords of wuhan institute of virology and the world health organization. The passwords were proven to be working and material was acquired from the accounts. There was a story in the Washington post about it.
As far as I know he proved @vindicator was a shill working for QinetiQ a British defense contractor and that was the real reason for the banning. Or somebody with the password goatfucker. One of the mods.

No one in v/pizzagate believes the Shareblue BS anymore TWoS. You lost, you stinkin' doxer.
theoldonez ago
great guess lol but meanwhile your sub is sucking Q dick and has yet to doxx a single pedophile
you align with obvious shills defend priests and enforce rules that were voted in by shareblue and you talk shit on web but he actually works with human trafficking oversight puts pedophiles in jail and isn't afraid to show his face
you've caught zero pedophiles and shut down lots of people serious about catching them
you are the enemy

You can't prove a single word of what you just said. You're just a cowardly shill hiding behind a sock puppet account sniping at people doing good things. If you cared about the kids, you'd be contributing research here instead of rhapsodizing about an asshole who was sent here to dox people from the very first week of this board's existence.
What a sorry life you lead.
