This post is an advisory to users that your username is connected to whatever you write in anon subs.
What you write can be seen by one or more devs who’ve been given that special access. But what you may not know is that they can and do use it against you as they’ve done with me in the past and as recently as yesterday. And one or more of those users who have this ability are part of SBBH.
Some history: One of the SBBH members had a hissy fit with me over a year ago and is probably the same user who would “miraculously” happen to know it was me when I would write certain things in anon subs in the past. I’d write something and they’d make a snarky remark revealing that they knew were talking to my account. It wasn’t a huge deal but it made me aware that my username could be seen by one or more users with this special access.
Back to present day: I’d never bothered to get caught up in SBBH drama until about a week ago when I started needling them in anon subs with a comment here or there regarding their questionable activities on voat.
It didn’t take long for one of them to take the bait and clearly refer to me when making this remark about my recent comments:
http://archive.is/eBPYZ
My account is exactly 2.7 years old. Whoever wrote that comment was a fool; for so obviously ‘giving away’ that they could see it was me writing those comments (showing their hand), and to give such a sensitive shit over what I wrote (notice it took anti-SBBH comments for them to get fresh and reveal themselves).
Let this story be a warning to any of you that this ‘special access’ to see which user is writing “anon” comments creates an unfair advantage and in the wrong hands can be used against you. At the same time, these privileged few are able to enjoy the ability to hide in anon subs themselves.
@PuttItOut, users will never be free to “have their say” in anon subs until everyone but you is stripped of the ability to see who’s posting what in so-called anon subs.

Edit: Hey, cool! My post got a "Speculation" flair. Perhaps the first in voat's history in v/Whatever.

What the hell is SBBH?

v/Soapboxbanhammer
A subverse that's usually at the center of any drama that unfolds on this website. Their users harass others and brigade subverses. They'll break subverse rules repeatedly in order to get banned, then cry censorship. I've seen them manage to remove moderators from several smaller subverses using that method, then they attempt to place one of their own as a moderator.
But if you point any of this out there's a coordinated effort to attack your character and imply that you're just an alt account of one of the more outspoken users here who openly criticize SBBH.
More and more average users are calling them out.

So basically. the SRS equivalent of voat?
Meh, I've never gotten banned here yet, so whatever.

Considering that SBBH is pro-free speech, they are hardly like SRS. They got branded SRS when they organized raids against known shills. Guess who created that narrative.
MadWorld ago
I don't consider them SRS in any way. Some of them were very helpful during the testing, when the other group was shitting here. But I don't like it when they shitpost too much! I think the real srs are those in rPV along with those invisible accounts.

"Sbbh is pro-free speech, ignore the fact that they attack users relentlessly if they oppose us, and ignore the fact that our entire shtick is banning people. Also ignore that we often make posts about users in their sub that are banned, so they cannot adequately make their case on the subject. Ignore all this manipulative behavior, SBBH is good" - dooob

Users? You mean shills like yourself? You are not users, you are paid provocators.
Womb_Raider ago
provocateurs?
I'm not paid, you goon. "Organized raids" is a funny way to phrase your self-righteous rhetoric... your account is just 9 months old so you actually don't know anything about when "they got branded" anything.
Just look at the recent attack you guys made on /v/gaming. It was a mockery.

You always pull the "account age" card, ever heard of burning accounts? The Jew cries out in pain as he strikes you.
You do realize you are paid by people trying to overthrow Trump? Who do you think is in the 25k sealed indictments? Ask real Nazis how didthe "just doin my job" excuse work out for them.
Womb_Raider ago
Yeah, keep trying to play victim, see how far it gets you.
dooob ago
How am I playing the victim? Good luck when the indictmentd start getting unsealed, the storm will catch everyone involved. Trump doesnt forgive, he always loved destroying his opponents, one of the reasons he was chosen.

Check the ban list. Check the ages of the bans. I'm not personally attacking you, only observing, when I say that you sound like a moron.
Womb_Raider ago
Ignore the rest of the content of my comment. That's fine.
heygeorge ago
Lol you used Yiddish in your comment. How's that for talking about ()something else()($)
Womb_Raider ago
Continue to ignore the content of my comment. That's fine.

There's nothing useful to address.
