PSA: The @virge account was hacked a few weeks ago. (whatever)

submitted ago by VIRGEisHACKED

A few weeks ago the @virge account was hacked by Soapboxbanhammer mod @Trigglypuff. The account is now most likely shared. The original user who @PuttItOut praised as a Builder is no longer in control of the account. They had been using the account to screw around with, but they recently started pretending to be the real @virge again which is alarming.

You may remember @Trigglypuff as the SBBH mod that doxxed many Voat users, including mods of v/GreatAwakening, and was Global Banned by @PuttItOut, but she cried until he unbanned her. As @PuttItOut and @Cynabuns have been missing for months I thought I should bring this to everyone's attention. We goats have to stay vigilant.

25 upvotes in 13 minutes. I've been watching this shit for a long time and that's the highest ratio I've ever seen.

If we needed any further evidence that the management of Voat has gone Galt and a single user can manipulate the front page, there it is.

In their defense, your behavior has changed pretty drastically since you came back. It wouldn't surprise me.

I've been baiting Virge with comments and ideas that had provoked certain responses from him before he disappeared. He has not reacted in any similar way. This was my indicator that Virge is not virge of old. I believe something has changed but I doubt the SBBH shit is the cause.

Nothing surprises me anymore. I've always had extremely weird vibes from the SBBH crew. They frame themselves as useless shitposters but their users end up being involved in practically every Voat drama, ever, from subverse takeovers to doxxing.

I mean the website is constantly under outside attack, makes sense that they would try to attack from the inside. Inevitable I'd say.

Maintaining one account on a CIA honeypot when you should treat them as disposable as tissue paper is a personal choice to make.

And yet the Soapdox flunkies do just that, and attempt to leverage their account age to creative and shape narratives.

You can't possibly be trying to convince me they're the only player on this particular board.

I am not. However they are one of them.
