/v/pizzagate is a limited hangout/controlled opposition I have no previous experience of /v/pizzagate until today when I decided to post a question, which as it turns out is against the rules. From my deleted post, which can be found here: The theory was that military intelligence leaked the Podesta emails, which turned into what we now call Pizzagate, as a warning to the deep state. My submission was deleted for violation of rule number 4: Description given: Rule Violation in v/pizzagate: 4: Indirectly Relevant / Meta; Description: @AllTheThings The moderator that deleted my post directed me to two other pizzagate related subverses (highlighted in bold): I will delete this submission per rule 4, Meta submissions and general discussion submissions without sources will be removed. Please submit indirectly relevant posts to /v/pizzagatewhatever and unsourced questions to /v/AskPizzagate. For more information please see our subverse rules located in the sidebar. Thank you. My post was a question and they refer to AskPizzagate, a subverse that is completely dead. The /v/pizzagatewhatever is hardly breathing. This is a classic example of Divide and Conquer.   The rules in /v/pizzagate are very telling. The first rule, Relevance, is fine, it just states that in /v/pizzagate only pizzagate related topics are discussed. The second rule, Empiricism, forbids free thinking. You are not allowed to express own ideas or theories. Everything must be backed up by a source. The third rule, Clarity, is fine. It states that you must adequately describe your content. The fourth rule, Meta submissions, forbids free thinking and to question the narrative. This is the rule I broke. You are not allowed to post un-sourced questions (meaning, your own questions). It also states that you are not allowed to question the moderators (rulers); "To find out who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.". The fifth rule, NSFW, is fine. You need to label NSFW-posts. The sixth rule, No Link Posts, is fine. Links should be posted as Discuss with a description.   /v/AskPizzagate has a rule that answers to questions must be sourced. So, free thinking is not allowed.   TLDR: /v/pizzagate is a censored limited hangout within the limited hangout that is Voat.
