I was here as well during the 2.8 year mark but deleted my first account because, like an idiot, I used my Eddit name. I also understand that there are lots of others who joined during this time, which makes all of this that much more difficult.

This all started when a person in another thread noticed a pattern of accounts of a certain age, around 2.8 years, would start questionable threads with questionable advice. In those threads, he noticed a bunch of other 2.8 year old accounts would post top comments and then they would all agree with each other and shit all over anyone who disagreed.

After reading this guys post about the 2.8 year old accounts, I watched for these exact kind of threads that specifically tell Voaters what they should do. The first one I noticed was one calling for Voaters to just give up and stop posting truth on the Internet. I thought it an odd suggestion, so when I scanned all the account ages in the thread I noticed a definite pattern. So I replied to all the 2.8 year old accounts, pointing this out. Then I was downvoated all to hell and replied to by almost all the 2.8 year old accounts. I think they get paid for every reply, so they have to reply no matter what (watch for this as well).

Anyway, I let those comments sit for 2 days because I knew by then the thread would be completely buried and no one on Voat would be browsing a thread from 2 days ago. Then I replied to some of the comment replies from the 2.8 year old accounts and what do you know, I received multiple downvoats, one had 3. 3 downvoats to a buried reply to a buried comment from 2 days ago. This only confirms what I already knew, this group of accounts, whether managed by 1 person or a group of people, is trying to manipulate us on voat. From the way they post, they seem to want one of 2 things from us, they want us to go to an alternative site that (((they))) recommend because they claim voat is infiltrated (probably is), but they give us no proof that the site they are sending us to isn't also infiltrated. Their other suggestion is for everyone to just stop posting 'hate' (it's what they call free speech) on the Internet and just go away and do nothing.

Most likely these alternative sites are being designed to give more evidence to use against us when the great doxxing happens. They'll say, "see judge, the IP address they used on Voat is the same as they used on our website to post 'hate'!". Who knows, I just think people need to keep on their toes and the series of coincidences I've seen tell me there are obvious shill accounts on here trying to herd the goats.

Hopefully I can get others to notice the same patterns that the other guy got me to notice and I'm not the only one out here collecting downvoats for the greater good.
