I have thought sometimes that people who post back to back to back are simply flooding the zone, to push certain posts down before they may be updooted to main
Yes, this tactic is called sliding
I thought that was when someone injects a different topic / unrelated rabbit hole into a thread of discussion to derail it, not outright hiding it away under a flurry of posts
You can achieve the former by using the latter. But you're correct, sliding is injecting a different topic to slide the discussion away from the original topic.
I'm not 100% on board with my theory, but it is very plausable, since this is the same tactic used by big tech to flood their search results and push down the "conspiracy theory" results
Agreed, and I wasn't even thinking of the bot possibility, just a user (real person) flooding the board at key posting times or if a certain topic is happening. But if bots can post on here that would compound the issue
I tend to post in big bursts and then lurk based on how busy I am from day to day. My routine tends to be specifically to lurk/burst post late at night as I am waiting to fall asleep. It comes from when I was up late at night researching Pizzagate during ye olde Reddit/Voat times.
yes, I agree, flood before it can be seen. also, people disappear but then reappear with a new user name, but the same manipulative tactics.
