Joe and Patrick alone couldn't have done shit with manual DMCA filings.
The first 2nd sub only got banned because that psycho SamRobertsPhiltrum posted a star of david thread and it got removed by the mod - either ilovejohnnycakes or
@N64 Cube
The internal dissenters all joined up with Fat Emily and SaiyanZ in some gay discord and "assisted" Joe and Patrick, mostly likely with botted mass DMCA filings which destroyed reddit's system.
If I recall correctly, johnnycakes or N64Cube also started the first off-reddit forum, the one with the live chatbox that got taken down due to KP spam from these same shitheads.
It was an internal operation that kept destroying the alt subreddits, and Quasi set up pfgtv.org to find the new one. Along with the reddit archives. The rest is history.
Anyone else autistic enough to confirm my recollection?
