[Mod] On the future viability of the sub...

IllimitableMan · 2015-02-05T17:12:35+00:00

The hypothetical demise of the sub would lead to a power vaccuum where various people scramble to open up their own forums hoping to cash in on the fall of TRP, effectively setting up shop over it's corpse. As such, I recommend some kind of mailing list being made available on puerarchy, that way in a worst case scenario people can be e-mailed/kept in the loop. I looked for a mailing list on puerarchy myself and couldn't find one. Knowing you can e-mail everybody when you have alternative arrangements made would assuage a lot of fears. I have close to 2,000 followers across twitter and my blog so I could get the word out to a fair number of people in whatever hypothetical apocolyptic scenario occurs, however that's a drop in the water considering we're at just beneath 96,000 members as I write this.

Anyway, good to hear from you RPS. The people are quick to scare and want assurances "TRP isn't going anywhere" if the worst were to happen. Evidence of a backup plan or a plan of action (like when there's a fire in a building: everyone head to the evacuation point outside the church on the corner!) It's also important to add this subreddit makes reddit a fair bit of cash, my comments alone have probably made reddit a couple of hundred dollars. Considering the other ECs gilded posts and the odd gild for a random member here and there and we've probably made reddit thousands of dollars in reddit gold subscriptions. There is a financial disincentive to close such an active sub where people are gilded. As long as we stop the obvious shills and trolls trying to paint a target on our back and don't harass/directly engage with other subs (TwoX being the major one that comes to mind) then everything should be fine.

I don't think we're going anywhere any time soon

Agreed, although I think it's a safe bet that we are going away at some point.

The extremists have finally succeeded in their campaign to ban thoughts and opinions they disagree with and they have the support of the reddit hierarchy, Twitter, Facebook, and even blog hosting providers.

Now it's all about how these providers purge their userbases, and on what timescale it can be achieved. It's no longer if it's when.

Really short answer to the thread from a long time lurker. As I'm posting this I already have saved posts and comments from the first 1000 posts in hot and the top 1000 all time.

I'll post the code tomorrow so anyone can save their copy in case of fatality. In the next couple of days I'll do the presentation part since the data (comments included) it's quite large: ~400MB.

ThoseFuckingSnakes · 2015-02-05T17:05:10+00:00

There you go guys, a redpill mentality can be seen in something as simple as this post. There may not currently be any problems, but these guys are preparing a backup plan anyway.

Thanks for the effort you guys put into this.

Tom Leykis was also following the rules and not breaking any laws when he was taken off the air in Canada. He goes on to read the reasons detailed in the letter explaining why and reasons included "calling girls gold diggers" at 4:30 and many other similar comments made by him & the viewers, none of them breaking the law/rules.

Reddit hates TRP, but that's not enough. I think it would take TRP getting much more public attention like that of jailbait where people start saying "Reddit is just a place where misogynists meet and discuss how to trick girls into sex." We all know the truth of that statement, but public perception of the reddit brand matters more than reality.

Until that happens, I think TRP will stick around just so they can keep an eye on us. In the spirit of the quote:

"Keep your friends close but your enemies closer"

Right now they have a TRP in a good place. It' become a centralized hub where people who really care about what TRP is thinking/doing can come see anytime.

There really isn't a problem as far as I've seen. The admins have been in contact with us whenever there is a problem, and we've resolved them quickly without fuss.

Just out of curiosity, and for transparency, how often and how frequently has this happened?

Histograms · 2015-02-05T18:15:20+00:00

I could write a phantomjs script to extract all posts as text and their comments but I'd need a list of links. I tried using recursive wget with the --no-parent flag and some exclusions but it was A) slow and B) wandered off and extracted a bunch of irrelevant garbage. Plus a lot of it was duplicated html. edit: or there's the reddit API https://www.reddit.com/dev/api

Reddit thrives monetarily on the social nature of its format, social conflict between subs multiplies this tenfold. On the internet controversy is publicity, and publicity is money. There is no such thing as bad publicity. For these reasons including certain lesser reasons, such as moral ones, the big wigs will definitely be reluctant to ban this sub.

Even so it is important to remember that their reluctance does not mean our immunity, with enough pressure they will submit to the nagging of the majority, the SJW's. And if there is one thing liberals are relentlessly good at, its nagging and complaining.

Contingencies must be put into place, a direct, streamlined plan of action is of utmost importance so as to avoid post exile confusion and dilution.

One suggestion would be to include contingencies and plans of action among the side bar material in case of worst case scenario, preferably one of the first few links.

Marxism / Feminism only works when it's a secret.

The moment they ban a place like Red Pill (which is truthful about gender science) it becomes clear that they are the "authorities".

This is why Russian and China eventually abandoned Marxism (the lies) and just went to complete Authoritarianism. It's just easier.

The glitches in the Matrix (Feminism) will continue to grow and eventually this whole Misandry Bubble / Western Debt Bubble will collapse and we will follow China and Russia to Authoritarianism.

Red Pill as a science is eternal. (it does not care about political regimes)

It's good to hear we will be around a little longer.

AntixD · 2015-02-05T18:34:10+00:00

definitely need a backup of the sub available for download

SrPildoraRoja · 2015-02-05T19:25:14+00:00

Good to hear from MODs about this. I recognize I've been a bit paranoid... I know that we can always have a place like this anywhere else in the internet, but this sub, being here in Reddit, it feels like home to me.

-Strider · 2015-02-05T20:48:35+00:00

The sad thing is the reasoning for the potential demise is based upon misconception at best, and complete lies at worse. Have you ever read anybody condoning rape or domestic violence/abuse? I haven't. So that raises the question would Reddit ban purely on rumours or actually consider the content? Given past history, Reddit picks and chooses there morals as they see fit, usually inline with public pressure.

soupermain · 2015-02-05T21:32:05+00:00

Thanks! You're making the world a better place!

thereddespair · 2015-02-06T00:10:03+00:00

I hope nothing happens to the group. I really like you guys.

thatisarandomtask · 2015-02-06T06:06:56+00:00

Why the crackdown? What did I miss?

yummyluckycharms · 2015-02-06T20:01:03+00:00

I think getting 100k subs will be a crucial point - reddit would need to decide if we are a threat to them or not.

misdis · 2015-02-05T22:51:52+00:00

You can do automatic backups using drupal and RSS. The feeds module is capable if you use feeds extensible parsers.

M_rafay · 2015-02-05T18:59:10+00:00

Pardon my stupid suggestion but reddit source code is freely available, yes?

If the sub got taken down, couldn't we simply make a backup reddit? And restart even freer than before?

GreenPiller · 2015-02-06T01:01:20+00:00

I sure was a nervous wreck knowing this place would be taken down, I know there are other sites full of red pill material but this place is where I swallowed that bittersweet pill and I couldn't be more grateful... thank you guys. "Ideas are bulletproof."

chtrchtr_pussyeater · 2015-02-06T03:36:19+00:00

Wow... A subreddit that struck a chord and has testicles might be stricken... Surprise, surprise...

watersign · 2015-02-07T02:20:22+00:00

the reason why the red pill may come under attack is because there is alot of racism on reddit and it is getting out of hand. not to mention the whole left wing paradigm that exists here....

Thurmut · 2015-02-08T08:19:39+00:00

I come to this subreddit maybe once a month and scope around. But if gets shut down, I'm giving up on reddit completely. Not because I'll miss the sub so much, but that's some freedom of information violation right there that I can't agree with.
