I made this post yesterday:

https://poal.co/s/TellPoal/238852

Was level 11, had no mark at all and had something like 7 downvotes ever versus something like 1000 upvotes. I noticed they had marked and banned somebody who had made a brand new account with 0 downvotes ever. I remembered the mods saying how it was an algorithm that automatically labeled you with the tag I now have and then nukes you account. The same exact thing happened to . I wanted to be able to trust the mods here but after knowing for a fact they are just straight up lying it’s sad. I went to bed some time after making that thread above, had not made a single downvote in days and definitely not since making that thread. So not only do I know that an account with 0 downvotes can get the mark but now an account like mine that hasn’t downvoted in days and not since I made that thread can also get it. It just proves the mods are doing it. It’s not an algorithm at all, they just mark and nuke whoever they don’t like. And then I’m being accused of having alts. No, this is literally the only account I have ever made on this website and the mods know this but just do not care. I don’t know why they would lie like this. Just straight up say “yeah we don’t like you so we mark people we don’t like and nuke their accounts.” It’s that simple. Don’t just lie and say it’s an algorithm when it’s not. It’s just pathetic. I now know for absolute certain it has nothing to do with downvotes and everything to do with mod discretion. It’s funny. AOU literally marked my thread with the flair “fake news” and then nuked my account proving me right.

Yeah, I know, but would you rather stay on Poal? At least on Aether you don't need to worry about powertripping mods, censorship, or retarded rules.

(I know you're already on Aether, my message is to try and convince others to get over to Aether)

If mikenigger is going to be 15% of the active users and just go around trolling people who have actual wants for freedom of speech like me and then no I don’t want to use it.

If you create a community you can moderate it however you like, including banning kikenigger. Decentralization is the only way you're going to get free speech. And refusing to use it because it "isn't active" is a self-fulfilling prophecy. It will only get active if more people make it active.

He only cares about moderation when his faggotry his throttled, I only had to browse his comments for 5 minutes to figure out he was using alts and manipulating with upvotes after getting nuked for downvoting: https://poal.co/s/TellPoal/244842

You've got to be a retard to fall for his gaslighting, you can even look up his comments on searchvoat, it's the same abrasive trolling meant to shit up the site.

Aether has no userbase to fuck with, that's his real problem.
