Anyone who has been here longer than a few months has surely noticed the change in content lately. Provably false posts are being upvoted. There are tons of comments which show ignorance of basic Q theory. Muh racism is being injected into discussions, and accounts I've never seen before are screaming about muh evil Jews.
I'm sure other longtime members can point out more concerning trends. This is just what I've noticed this morning.
Some might attribute all of this to an influx of new accounts who still have much to learn. This is possibly the cause, but several things make me doubt that. For one, I'm not seeing many handshakes. The questionable posts and comments are coming from 'established' accounts. And with the state of things right now (Trump seemingly off the stage & few signs of hope) it makes little sense that new people are joining our community in a sincere effort to learn about Q.
Shills attempting to undermine discussion is nothing new, but I'm seeing a change in strategy. For months we've dealt with doomers popping up left and right, and now they have suddenly gone silent. In their place I see a more sophisticated type of shill, whose goal is to flood this forum with nonsense theories and unsavory content which can be used to discredit the movement.
Other than being more vigilant and vetting things before upvoting, I'm not sure much can be done about this. As always, DEPORT any questionable content and let the mods try and sort it out. I'm sure they are aware of the state of things...
Agreed with the provably false posts, and the OP's will often justify using the false memes rather than removing and correcting the post.
The sensitivity to racism is a reddit trait that has yet to be excised; I'm not condoning calling for the death of X races, but that we need to not remain reddit level sensitive to topics that might make some of us uncomfortable. Remember, Q ALSO said "saving Israel for last" and while there is much interpretation allowed within Q posts, what else could you suggest other than "it's the jews" being at least close to the mark?
Remember, most of us came from 8chan, Voat, and other places that have true free speech, this has allowed those people to have developed viewpoints that NEVER would have been allowed to be discussed on Reddit. That mentality is holding us ALL back. If we can't focus on certain topics, then they will forever evade you and you will always have that blank spot in your armor.
To the rest of your points, it's not so much that shills have had a shift in strategy as much as now that reddit influence is waning on many here, people are opening up to subjects that otherwise would be taboo.
That's not how I see it at all.
Free speech has never been limited here. The Israel connections, Khazarian mafia, all of that has been discussed often. I'm calling out the vapid, one dimensional 'the Joos are behind everything' comments. Most of us here are aware that although there are plenty of so-called Jews in the cabal, there are also plenty of people from other ethnicities and religions. The Jew thing is a red-herring, and worse - can be easily used to censor and discredit this community.
And I don't see how reddit is relevant to this discussion. It has always been a very different place.
This is untrue. The banhammer will drop if someone thinks that you are dooming a little too hard. This forum is far from free speech.
Look - only one handshake reply to my post. Further evidence that the shills are getting more sophisticated.
Lol. I didn't even say anything against your main post. Just cited that this forum is not free speech oriented.
Nah, there are handshakes who have been banned multiple times specifically. because this forum is not free speech.
Stating opinion as fact.
"The jew thing is a red herring"
See the problem there?
It's laughable that you think your opinion is any different. Especially when it is the less informed.
It isn't any different, dummy.
That's the point.
Go back to you other puppet account and respond now.
Then I'm not seeing what you're seeing. The one-dimensional arguments are the ones that don't last long.
Besides; the wins are already in the position where they can only be found directly, some phone services don't even allow links to be sent by text, and every effort is made to discredit us all constantly regardless. Self-censorship and restricting avenues of discussion only serve those aims (as long as they aren't in the all X should die camp).
This place was built to replace reddit after the purge, uses a similar layout to their old style, and uses the same voting metrics for content. Because of that it takes advantage of the same psychological manipulation methods.
I agree that up until a few weeks ago the one-dimensional arguments were quickly downvoted or removed. I grew to love this community in part because of its willingness to self-correct.
But something has changed. Hopefully it's only temporary...
