My thoughts on what is happening with the "PedoGate" forum at Reddit ( pizzagate )

Since I post there regularly, I keep an eye on the PedoGate forum.

Background: Very early in the pizzagate investigation, reddit banned it. It was a big thing, and sort of cemented the fact that reddit is run by bad guys. It also showed us that pizzagate was real, because reddit took a MAJOR blow to their brand to do this. They were willing to do that.

Well, the first day reddit re-opened the pizzagate forum as "PedoGate", it got 700 members. Day 3 it was around 1500. Now, like a month later, it's at 1973. It has grown by about 1 a day for a week. They have basically "locked" it in place now.

It's beeing kept artificially low. The membership and the "online now" numbers. They also have to regulate number of upvotes, because a post can't have 5000 upvotes with 2000 members. When you post something, it does show up. The forum is very active, more active than a 2000 member forum could possibly be.

Why did they open it? They did it so that people can't say it's banned. Because it isn't. But the forum is suffocated by their algorithms. To sort of show people that it's not that interesting? Social proof in reverse. That's what's happening.

I posted there and it never showed up. Magically got upvotes later while never being discoverable.

Just curious - - why would you expect a constant rate of growth? This subforum, as far as we know, isn't controlled in that manner. The rate of new subscribers here has tapered off, as noted here -

I'm not saying that Reddit Pedogate not being manipulated -- I have no idea. But the constant rate of growth expectation seems unnatural. This topic waxes and wanes in the public's eye, as we all know.

There are tools for scraping subreddit and figuring out how many actual users are participating there, at least

Reminds me of how the Podesta video on Twitter is shared okay after day after day yet has had 400-500 retweeets since the day it was posted over a month ago hahah

I agree with your theories on the subreddit. It's not as productive as I had thought it would be.

I"m still convinced Alefantis got himself an 8 ball of coke and just sits on Voat all day.
