Just read that hit piece.

If WSJ got the name of the domain owner, I'm assuming they got it from Epik who just handed it over or whatever. Just something to think about.

What I don't understand is all the hype about calls for violence and such. I mean I'm not on the site 24/7 or anything but it's only been a handful of times that I've seen posts trying to start violence, etc. Sure, there are plenty of effed up comments being made to posts, but for the most part anyone who I've seen post something redic gets downvoted into oblivion and rep'd. Other than the random psycho making really stupid comments, the 'serious' posts calling for violence or what not are so obviously written from someone who's just trying to start shit. Whether that's a bad actor from the other side or not, who knows but it just doesn't ever sound like the people / patriots who actually care about what's happening post things on here.

Another thing I'm having trouble stepping through is that the platform is being labeled as a place that's a 'factory' for violence, racism, hate, Etc. A simple browse on reddit to r/politics, or that parlerwatch sub, and the kind of stuff that is being claimed to have been posted on the regular here (violence, racism, hate) is extremely easy to find. I'm sure there are more obscure sub's that are wayyyy worse. And 4chan? I'm sure is a literal cesspool of violence, Etc.

The fact that a person from here was approached by the FBI just goes to show the issue of misinformation and misdirection. Why aren't they all over reddit or 4chan making house calls? I mean surely they've heard of 4chan? FFS. It's like this place is being targeted. I'm a technical person, but I'm confident a normie who's dull as a box of sand could dig up some way worse shit on reddit and 4chan.

Here's another thing - other than the data, this place isn't really monetizing anything. There aren't any ads, they're not selling anything, no suspicious / malicious JS lurking in the background, the only tracking I've seen is from twitter. The point here is that the 'owner' of this site is saying all these things like they are against 'whoever' is running the site, but they (assuming) have the money, time, and stress invested into it and they're not shutting it down.

What that leads me to believe is that that article was probably written for reasons other than the quotes, etc. I think it was really to try and publicly expose the 'owner.'

The 'person' quoted in the article doesn't sound like a person that's willing to stand behind their creation or whatever their level of involvement is, but yet they are.

If you were investing all sorts of time / money / stress into something and it was becoming a problem for you, and you were speaking like you were fed up - would you really keep financing it - if you weren't receiving anything in return? It just doesn't make sense.

Normal people that talk and say things like that flake out at the drop of a hat. Either the person quoted is a genius, or it's bs, written only to make the article look like it wasn't 2 sentences trying to expose the owner's info. (if the owners info is even real or not... I'd be surprised if they registered using valid info, but whatever)

One last thing, and I'm sure this will piss off a bunch of people here, but try and consider it for a bit. It's been quite awhile since something of this magnitude has happened in our country. Over the years I've been alive I've heard all sorts of conspiracies, false flags, shady shit gone down, whatever, and thought 'man, that's big'. What happened during this election is so much bigger. Most people alive haven't experienced something like this (of this scale) in their useful lifetimes. Regardless of the outcome short term is just know that something of this scale can't just disappear, and it's only getting worse with the censorship going on. Rather than get all 'up in arms' and get pissed and want want violence, war, retribution, etc, just hang tight for a bit and let it keep spiraling out of control. Consider that if even 90% of the shit we've literally been shown and has come to light with actual proof (fraud) is completely false, it's still 10% too much to be a coincidence. At some point it just hits this wall where it just simply can't be denied anymore. Don't get me wrong I'm with everyone here, to me, (and anyone with a brain) it should already be at that point (hell, days ago) but you've got to use your head and keep cool as pissed off as it makes you.

Let the hole dig itself for a bit until it's just too damn deep to climb out of - even if you think it's deep enough. Posting dumb shit which puts the spotlight on 'us' just adds a little bit more dirt into that hole and will prolong the shit we have to put up with.
