“The Neoliberal Agenda” or How I Saved Half the Metasphere

Hello folks! Friendly neighborhood /r/4chan moderator here. Boy have I had a stressful last 12 hours! In fact it was just about exacty 12 hours ago when, through a very chance set of circumstances, I found myself in the center of an extremely problematic situation!

Let’s rewind back to last night. I had noticed a few suspicious donations. Thousands of dollars being funneled through the /r/4chan team for the neoliberal worm charity. I noticed that I, when logged in to the /r/4chan account, was able to see the full name of the different donors. All of the big donations were by the same guy. But I also could see my name and the other mods and donors’ names. This spooked me because it meant that my fellow mods knew my real name, and I theirs, but I wasn’t too worried because we trust and love each other.

Later on, I was watching some siivagunner before bed and decided to check in on the /r/comedycemetery discord. As I was reading messages, I got a username mention from the /r/drama discord. There was a bit of trash talk about the competition, but then it hit me: Whoever controlled the /r/drama team would see the full names of a lot of their users. Several mods included! I brought this up and we took it to a private chat room after it got a little heavy.

In the private chat room, we made a very disturbing discovery. Anybody could find the full name associated with each donation. For some reason, the website had chosen to add an “alt” tag to each donation which was the same name you put in your payment information. Since most people just autofill the form, a lot of people had their real names here. Coupled with the fact you are encouraged to put in your username (so redditors know you donated) and this becomes a bit dangerous!

So now, its 1 AM, its me and like 2 other drama users, and we are freakin’ out here! Over 300 people’s personal info is just right here! Freely available! Including some of the edgiest users with the most enemies! Holy shit! I personally laid my eyes on the full names of half the mod team!

We spend the next hour and a half frantically trying to contact the /r/neoliberal mods, the crowdrise staff, anybody we could! And finally, we got ahold of /u/ampersamp. He works with us and I go to bed about 2:30 AM. Eventually they changed the format so that individual donations weren’t shown and the teams were shown as whole entities. So we are safe now.

Where were you when /r/neoliberal doxed itself and everybody who donated to it?

You're goddamn right.

By having the Michelin-Tire girl hulk out on bath salts. Damn right ssbot

Straight up auschwitz

Came for an emoji shitpost and am disappointed.

I almost got doxxed last night. I'm on 4 hours of sleep. Emojiposting is second nature to me, but I have just been under a massive amount of stress for some time now so forgive me😂😂😂

Have you written anything bad on this acc though? I mean, I would be embarrassed to be outed as "that emoji shitposter from r/4chan" but it's not the end of the world in your case, right?

idk lol🤷‍♀️

idk lol🤷‍♀️

It might affect his medical practice I assume he would be swamped with new patients wanting emoji therapies

Well he is only basically a doctor so I would assume he's still in med school or a nurse or something. If anything this is good advertisement

"Aroma therapy is for ur nan, emoji therapy if ur a real nan 😂😂😂"

I actually met one of the /r/4chan mods irl once. He even verified. He looked kind of like a dwarf and he liked memes. Was it you?

I'm 6'4" and 130 lbs so probably not 😂

Hand over your rarest Pepes or I'll dox him

You have 24 hours.

6'4" and 130 lbs

Did

Did you put a 1 where you meant to put a 2 accidentally

No 😂😂😂

Well when I hit puberty it took me a while to put all the muscle on my frame too, I'm sure you'll get there eventually I'm sure your school has a weightlifting class.

I'm not in school I just stay at my house all day and post on Reddit he he

Do u live in Auschwitz?

Oh yeah? I'm 6'4" and row for UC Davis

No wonder we see eye to eye🙄🙄

Do you ever worry you might just snap one day? And I mean literally, as in snap in half like a twig.

are u my brother 😂🤔

I wouldn't worry about it. No one will hurt an actual retard, just look at how safe Chris-Chan is.

You're still just a threat to yourself ☺️

The biggest fear of the white man is that someone might know his government name.

Seriously KYS.

Yes yes yes, that was me, hackerman, that discovered the alt tag while trying to copy/paste ur dank racist meme-messages into the chat. You can thank me for your good standing with the local Domino's with giftcards to KushMart.

I noticed that I doxed myself right after making an account. The website really needs to do something about that, but what can ya do ¯\(ツ)

I actually have a burner eMail that I use for sites that I don't trust.

The problem is that they made it easy to sign up for an account, but then they listed whatever name you used while making a payment (so likely whatever's on your CC) on your account and in your homepage url, with the option to change it only after you'd signed up. Luckily they also made it easy to edit and delete your account, but jesus christ what a bad idea.

Then of course there's this. That company seriously needs to get their shit together.

Interesting. You'd think a bunch of econ PhDs would have better foresight.

They probably weren't thinking of the portion of the internet that doesn't want their identity exposed when they made the site. I mean, could you imagine 4chan users donating their parents' money to help brown children a hemisphere away?

I mean, could you imagine 4chan users donating their parents' money to help brown children a hemisphere away?

Tbh I could if the organisers called it slavery.

I mean, could you imagine 4chan users donating their parents' money to help brown children a hemisphere away?

As long as it isn't spent on inside pants and loli flashlights I don't think they would mind.

As long as it isn't spent on inside pants

What's that?

I mean, could you imagine 4chan users donating

You know not everyone on 4chan hates brown people?

no

Depends, are they airlifting them from Detroit and Baltimore to over there? In that case, sure.

You'd think they'd protect people who made accounts even more than the people that didn't. Apparently it seems to be the exact opposite? lol

Wait wait wait- so if you donated without signing up, your name doesn't show up, but if you decided to become a member of their service, then your name is basically public?

That's like going to Burger King and giving them money and not getting a Whopper, but if you just stand there and give them nothing, you get a Whopper.

Mmmmm

🤔🤔🤔

Do you want a hwhopper now or did you think my analogy was garbage? Cause it kinda was.

It was.

Oh wait, it was only the suckers that made an account that showed their name? lol

Signing up for an account is basically saying "here, use my info"

It just made it more easier. EVERYBODY was exposed even without an account

Oh wow rude

haha jokes on you you got doxxed too!

As long as the drama mods only use their power for evil, I'm ok with it.

You were one of them who I had the name for lol 🤥🤥

I feel like I should get (((verified kike))) flair for this

I used to work for the nonprofit that handles processing all the donations for Crowdrise almost a decade ago. Should log a bug report with them. That way they'll get around to it sometime in the next 5 years.

Reddit does not store your real name with your Reddit username.

Why would you provide both pieces of info on the same form to a third party? Keeping your IDs separate is not complex, and pretty important if you are one these controversial personalities?

for what purpose?

He founded Crowdrise

Hi, I'm a bot for linking direct images of albums with only 1 image

Any death threats yet?

Nope, nobody found it outside of the exploit knowers and I'm impossible to find with only my name anyway.

yep, we all know all about your lifestyle now

TIFFANY TRUMP

Does every sub have a discord now?

If it's the same one as before I'm actually still a member of the r/drama discord. I remember a british guy, red viper, deep voice guy, and a guy with a beard.

That one is not official

Neoliberal does actually. Not that it isn't complete and utter garbage but ya know.

Thanks. Do you know if it is posted on their sub?? Couldn't find it.

It's in the discussion thread, but not on the sidebar.

I think it's posted in the discussion.

link me to drama discord pls

Just LMAO at people who donate to charity tbh.

Just LMAO at people who hate deworming kids

Just LMAO at people who are autistic enough to take that comment seriously tbh.

Just LMAO at people not understanding the counter-meme tbh.

I understood it, luvvie, it was a real knee-slapper.

thanks sweetie 😘

Any more passive-aggressive flirting and you're officially married.

Implying that wasn't my goal from the start

It was

Sorry, I plan on having a nice wedding. I can't have a morbidly obese mouthbreather as a hubby.

I wish you all the best though!

Gosh! You're ambitious!

I like people who are equal to my morbid obesity and low intellect ;)

This is proof that we have a vengeful god who hates the meek. The retribution for lending a helping hand to the poor was swift and righteous.

I think you mean lending a helping hand to staff and administrators and perhaps a tiny part will trickle down to the poor.

I think you mean lending a helping hand to staff and administrators

It's okay tho. I get great smug benefits.

Sorry, I meant morons who work for nothing, staff and administrators.

Ew. Volunteers are suckers. I just make less than I would at a real company bathe myself in carbon offset dollars.

Oh that's cool, you're in on the carbon scam. I can respect a mafioso.

Yeah, I've been to a charity organization in the third world and resources are so tragically misplaced it's not even funny in a post-ironic way. A lot of Christians thinking they're making a real difference, but are more interested in importing bibles than feeding beggars.

I was also served tea made by a mongoloid boy and had to drink it all because everyone was watching me. Nothing against mongoloids, but there is a strong possibility half of the water was actually his drool.

Yeah same

Yeah, I thought this was a meme or some shit. People were actually giving cash to this?

u/MrDannyOcean if you ruined the credibility of r/neoliberal then I'm coming for that bussy

oops

Anyone got a tldr on this?

neoliberal worms doxed me lmao

neoliberal worms doxed me lmao😂

If you now know my real name feel free to PM me

If you now know my real name feel free to pee.

It I could pm it to everyone else except you and every one would know you except you're self😂

I wouldnt know my own name?

That's when I know I've had enough to drink

🎶Where everybody but you knows your name🎶

I got /u/justcool393 's name. Am I supposed to just dump it or give it to the highest bidders?

Give it to /u/spez

Thank you for the sticky, unlike r/neoliberal (at least for now).

lol, he actually thinks I have any power

Well you are a power bottom, aren't you?

/r/drama discord

Parties where you were never invited in the first place.

discord is cancer

I was watching some siivagunner before bed.

My man!

see, if we just culled the poors, shit like this wouldnt happen

well done OP

Let nobody question prince "scrooge mcduck" kropotkin again.

Imagine being enough of a faggot to go on a subreddit discord. Fucking kys.

Falling for this is a sign that you've truely master "evidence-based" policy

So nothing happened, you were a good boy and ran straight to mods yet you made a drama post anyway. Typical 4chan mod behavior.

That moment when you read the real name of /u/BasicallyADoctor and find that he is your physician in charge of doing your rectal examination

So you came here to tell us that you stopped drama from happening? Fucking kys

I could release all the dox for like half the mod team

Will I or will I not 😶😶😯😯😯😯

I won't I actually didn't keep it but what if someone did lol they could kill a bunch of people or ruin some lives 😋🤔🤔

Tell us who u/riemann1413 is so that he can be lynched as he deserves.

i didn't donate

Who are these rich east coast liberals that donate to save some afripoors.

Barely can afford my weekly Budweiser 24 pack.

consider pulling yourself up by your bootstraps

Maybe later, gotta go to the corner store to trade in my welfare money for cash to buy some Copenhagen snuff.

pretty sure he's referring to the /r/4chan mod team, friendo

Just dump it to a pastebin and spam it on 8ch from tor.

I thought neoliberals were supposed to be smart.

its kind of fun watching the impotent far-left fall over themselves trying to find why the charity was a bad thing. slight security oversight, or 56,000 children dewormed. really makes you think. :^)

How is neo liberal far left?

No, I'm just laughing at the fact that you supposedly intellectual neoliberals managed to fuck up so badly.

managed to fuck up so badly.

When we fuck up badly, we deworm 65,000 children. Maybe that's why our policies tend to run the world; even when we do misstep we still manage to make the world a better place in the process. Unlike, say, leftism in Venezuela or the U.S.

Leftism has made the US a better place. Things like worker's rights and civil rights were fought for by leftists.

You guys always take pleasure in pointing other people making a mistake so don't yet mad when it gets done to you.

Leftism has made the US a better place.

Except when they got Bush and Trump elected.

Things like worker's rights and civil rights were fought for by leftists.

Weird. The people who fought for that were the working class, who seem to be perfectly aligned with the conservatives right now. Maybe your focus on virtue-signalling and historic revisionism scared them off, or they were never really lefties to begin with.

so don't yet mad when it gets done to you.

Again, even as we make mistakes, we not only deworm 70,000 children, but the only people that get butt-mad aren't the people like myself that got our names exposed, but rather the bitter leftists who watch their whole "we're the ones who care about the poor" schtick as the conservative wing of Reddit throws $50,000 to impoverished children.

You're wrong, you have a very historically inaccurate view.

Anyways, I commend you guys for donating to charity, but all I did was point out a mistake of yours despite you guys acting so smart. Don't get butthurt.

but all I did was point out a mistake of yours

why are you pointing something out that you only know because we told you tho

Because it's funny how you guys act so smart and intellectual.

When the counterfactual is apparently to be dumb and populist..?

You guys act smart and intellectual and make fun of others for screwing up. I just find it funny that now you guys screwed up.

for finding it funny you sure are tense, lol

Whatever.

Love how a security breach on a website is being pranced around by leftists on why charities are bad. unless its chapotramphouse

charities are bad.

said no one

You said "security breach on a website is being pranced around by leftists on why charities are bad" How is a 30 year old Bernie Sanders quote relevant?

You said no one ever said that they don't like charities, so I gave you an example.

I didn't mean that literally...

He's a god damned card carrying communist, does he understand what the word charity even means?

because they half solve a problem the government should fix

i h8 context

what is this shit

I helped but I was late to take the credit :(

from the /r/drama discord.

Wait, there's a discord for /r/drama?

What a surprise you weren't invited 😂

Deworming kids? Don't you people know that deworming causes allergies?
