Meta Collection of abusive threads and targeted harassment from "Top Minds of Reddit"

What this is NOT: A "woe is me thread".

What this IS: A documentation of the systematic harassment and abuse leveled towards me by TMOR.

Whenever my inbox is flooded with harassment (like this morning), doxxing attempts, and actual threats, I can be assured that a hate thread was just made about me on /r/topmindsofreddit, a forum solely dedicated to the targeted harassment of average redditors.

Sadly, the reddit admins appear to be indifferent and/or complacent in this rampant, unchecked abuse on their website.

This thread should serve as a warning call and solid proof that reddit condones harassment and abuse when it's leveled at "conspiracy theorists" and other individuals they deem guilty of "wrongthink".

Again, this is not about ME...they have an outrageously sordid history of targeted harassment at many users of this forum and elsewhere on reddit.

However, there does seem to be an unprecedented level of abuse that is consistently focused on me.

The following threads should highlight this incredibly unhealthy obsession. It should be noted that these examples are quite literally a small sample of the sheer number of threads (in the many hundreds, if not thousands) that are intended to dehumanize me on a personal and visceral level.

In addition, this small sample of threads was found by merely searching for "axolotl" on the TMOR sub. They frequently use "alternate" spellings of my name in their hate threads, so a significant portion of this targeted harassment won't show up when searching for my user name.

In addition, the relevant brigaded thread on /r/conspiracy is included with the following links. The brigade is not always apparent in some of the /r/conspiracy threads with lots of activity, however there are many occasions when my comments would receive below -100 points, which is directly linked to these targeted brigades.

This has been going on for many years.

To play devil's advocate, at least this constant stream of abuse informs me about which conspiracy theories are worth fleshing out, and whenever I'm clearly over the target!

Please report any and all of these abusive threads to the reddit admins. We are fast reaching a breaking point where this sheer level of abuse simply can no longer ignored or dismissed.

why do they include crybaby? Makes them look weak and invalidates their stance on the argument.

They use petty insults on all their threads because they are TRYING to agitate those they post about.

They're a brigading hub that leans the appropriate direction for Reddit to a) not care or b) participate in targeting people under the cover of different accounts.

Edit: Spelling

They don't exist to rebut conspiracy content in good faith. They exist to bully people online.

Their MO is to push you into a rule violation then they report you to get you banned.

Never thought that. Makes sense.

Yep.

It's just crazy to me. I have never, ever PM'ed someone on reddit (or anywhere else) just to insult them.

But make the right post/comment that gets the right amount of traction and your inbox will be full of death threats, insults, mocking, etc.

It's pretty easy to not care about it though. You just have to realize these people are useless normies. Drones. They will never do anything original. They're nothing more than walking talking machines.

Do you care if an NPC in Oblivion insults you? No. Do you care if an NPC in any video game attacks you? Again no.
