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:

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.

I've kind of made my peace with getting doxxed or targeted by loonie-tune liberals. If it happens, it happens. I'm not going to go out of my way to encourage it, but I'm not going to stop writing what I believe to avoid it. My mind's at peace because I know I'm doing the right thing -- speaking and writing the truth about political and social issues. I see it as one of my functions in life to deliberately hold up to view those topics liberals want everyone to avoid talking about, because they conflict with the liberal fantasy narrative. I'm going to keep proclaiming the truth wherever and whenever I can. Right now Voat is my main stopping place on the Internet, but if Voat folds, I'll move elsewhere and continue to do the same thing, because it's right, and because it needs to be done.

there is some drama war going I've lurked on voat a while ...I'm not sure on it, Crensch was being weird but I think @Crensch could also be innocent also there is drama between Crensch and @TexasVet there is also drama between @RamblinRambo and other alt right identatarian users

Meh, we got that sorted out. That doesn't mean Crensch isn't a fuck. But, we never should've echoed his info like that, even if the dumbass is okay with giving out his first and last name online.
