It always started by gooning around with alts as trolls to spam lazy borderline bannable shitposts on active subs not under their direct control or under the /v/ProtectVoat umbrella. Eventually when a sub mod or owner had enough and banned the spam account, that alt account or their main would then complain about censorship on /v/ProtectVoat. Usually it meant Kevdude pinged the posse into the post, declaring that the banner threatened Voat's principles. Which from that post they then brigade the sub with spam, declaring to outsiders on Voat that the mod was a Reddit infiltrator, further increasing attack. The result was either abandonment of the sub or a handover to the assailants. When this happened, it and substitutes made to eliminate censorship died or greatly declined, as SBBH lost interest after the attacks succeeded because they never cared about the target sub and its content to begin with. Finally, Banhammers and /v/ProtectVoat celebrated, proclaiming Voat protected by purging the threat. Now repeat reading that paragraph more times than you can bear and realize Voat's been run by another fucking clown world for the past few years. The wall of text must have been either Dortex, WebofSlime, or theoldones. It's awesome that voting transparency discourages coordinated content control from malicious groups.
