Higher Quality Posts Wanted
Garbage IN, Garbage OUT!
- I have seen several posts which end up being false stories or disinformation, many of which end up being shared with others (such as family members) only to have to walk back their posts once they realize the posts were based on fake stories. This makes it harder to wake normies up.
- To help reduce the proliferation of disinformation, if you are creating a post please verify that what you are posting is accurate in its entirety.
- For example, if you want to post an image of a Twitter message instead of the Twitter link, verify that the post actually exists. It may be worth adding the link into a comment or an archived link in case people would like to also verify.
- Here is an actual example: https://greatawakening.win/p/15JUCeprCJ/got-your-coffee-walk-up-to-the-l/ While the image is real, the example thumbnails are not real. Either mark it a shitpost or perhaps we could post this with a new flair of "Disinformation Alert" or something.
- Let's work to make this community better, by being more accurate with what is and what is not for entertainment, and what is actually accurate enough to share with normies.
Thank you for a constructive and much needed reminder. Post sauce or it's fake. Also, check the catalog before posting. I know sometimes .win gets latency issues and double posts happen, but we shouldn't be posting for karma, that's reddit shit. Keeping one post allows us to stay on the same one for discussion rather than being scattered. This has improved a bit recently so it's not as bad as it was. Also, I still think we should disable voting system in the comments but leave it for the original posts, because it creates a false impression of the content of a person's response. As soon as you see the ratio, it makes people believe it's not worth reading. It's a soft censor to be blunt. We have the reporting system and rules, that's plenty enough. The downvote is what gives the shills power. If you disagree or want to challenge a statement, just do it. Don't lurk and jerk. It may not be possible to remove it but it would greatly help.
It used to be that the bump order was judged by the amount of discussion within the post on forums like these. While not a perfect system (its really flawed on the chan's with GPT bot posting), it did make for a more dynamic discussion. But that's why I say the upvote system for posts isn't necessarily bad
