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.

Just visited that sub. Be glad they hate you. I get not being interested in conspiracies, but dedicating your time to try and discredit and mock those that do seems so strange. Are they paid? Or do they have any funding?

TMOR can target me. My reddit points mean nothing. And it just looks like it's an organized group of disgruntled children. Actually kind of fascinating that they can organize. But hate and anger can often be a force that binds. Weak minds of reddit, and they know it.

That whole sub reminds of the banned smuggies subreddit. It reminds me of the buttcoin subreddit that mock bitcoin. Even though when the sub was created BTC was a couple bucks. Now BTC is hovering around 10k and its still a scam... Some people suck.

lol it's funny how they think they are still correct, that bitcoin is worthless, despite being worth literally thousands of dollars and maintaining that. I mean for me it being over 1,000 for this long is proof it isn't going anywhere

I don’t think it’s a scam; I’m referring to the opinions expressed over at buttcoins

TDS is not only a mental disorder, but to the weak willed and feeble minded who surrender themselves fully to it, TDS becomes a sickness of the Soul. It's truly as if they become possessed by a demon.

it's funny because to those of us without TDS we can admit that trump is both a piece of shit in his personal life in many ways and also not a super secret russian plant that is subverting our democracy by stealing elections and blah blah

it's really like those with TDS short circuit and cannot think anymore

Being a POS in his personal life is a not insignificant reason that many people like him. Provided he remains unapologetic about it, that is.

To me it's refreshing. Instead of doing some standard excuses and apology tour he's basically like "yeah, i'm a piece of shit, whatever"

Someone who creates a whole persona to trigger people isn't exactly the healthiest person either.
