have you noticed there are 3 or 4 guys who seem to make posting on this board a full-time job?
How many of you realize that if you read every post they make, they could completely program your world view and outlook?
In my humble opinion everybody needs to be very careful to not allow their minds to be poisoned by reading the same shit posts from the same people day in and day out.
I only read this board logged in and I use the "Hide" button very liberally! If you're smart, you will do the same.
This board has a great upside but friends, "Read with caution!"
We are all adults here. It is our place to decide what and who to read. Many of those who post often have been our friends for many years on this site. We know how to pick and choose over what we want to read and answer to. We do not need someone else to CAUTION us beforehand. You'd think we just got out of kindergarten or something. Have a blessed day.
Adults watch CNN as well and they never realize it’s propaganda.
Everything is propaganda from someone. It is all about DISCERNMENT.
I miss Voat. Still....
Amen.
This isn't CNN. I get your point but at some point we are responsible for what we read.
We are not asleep. CNN watchers are asleep and woke.
you tell em Mary....lol
We're all here to support one another and fight the good fight; not cause a fight amongst ourselves. I felt like this post was trying to 'egg' one on so to speak. God bless and thanks for helping out.
As for me, I seek TRUTH.
And I find it often here. If MAGA were false, I would discard and move on.
But, I look beyond the politics for TRUTH.
I would like to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN (MAGA) be true.
John 18:37 NIV “You are a king, then!” said Pilate. Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”
Paying attention to the user name is a good way to identify patterns. Certain users keep pushing the same ideologies.
I will decide for myself who to listen to.
Take it all to God then no man can decieve u
I've posted more recently and it's because I have the time to do so.
If some members post as if it were a full-time job, it may be because they are successfully retired and have the interest and ability to put forth their thoughts to share. Without those people, there wouldn't be much to read on the board!
But, I haven't really noticed anything that others post that I find 'proselytizing' other than the religious/Christian ones which are not a bother to anyone, in my opinion.
Please skip over those you don't have an interest in. Free speech and all...
My thoughts exactly.
I wondered about that . Warriors understand what you say. Information warfare is real. Guard your gates.
Some could be FEDs
White hats and / or black hats!
Hide doesn't work, neither does block.
Yes, this place is a honey pot, of course and why certainly. Ask yourself why this place is allowed to exist when all others similar to it were extincted.
All manner of bad actors wander through, from Enemy deep state actors to simple nazis and other lesser terrorists, and of course foreign actors whether china or Ukrainian. And they use AI and bots as well as paid redditors and such.
This war is real, 'you' are the carbon they want to reduce and they stalk you here, same as they stalk you everywhere. Use a VPN and don't dox yourself.
Prefer to be fearless. They can cast their nets, I intend to give them some pause to consider on whether they should risk pulling that net up.
Stay smart and do what you can. I intend to be caught in their nets. I am law abiding and honest. I will not be separated from the law abiding and honest. If it's to the gulags with grandma and grandpa who didn't use a VPN, that's great. That's where I want to be.
I used to say they could kill me but they can't eat me, this double damned corrupt bunch probably will eat me tho if they can.
I agree, tho I am a Grandpa and do have a VPN and other weapons of mass destruction in my arsenal. Some of the other weapons will ensure no gulag, maybe die right here when the door is kicked in but the Lovely Wife , Puppers and I ain't skeered.
You got it. They'll rue the day they try to pull that net up
if ashland works for the bee that is fine, they only pay him in kibble and I do not think enough dogs work for them to like unionize and demand actual money. So if he shills for them here..i mean a dog's gotta eat, who are we to judge?

If your reading this board, you are already a skeptic of the highest degree. No need to worry about that.
I have a black belt in skepticism.
On a different note, what’s the difference between a skeptic and a cynic ?
Ugg I blocked those people a loooong time ago. They never say 1 single enlightening or consciousness raising thing.
I wouldn't mind having access to this list.
Every site has these users. Really nothing you can do
I wish it was a little easier to see if something has already been posted (search doesn't always work very well) to avoid repeating a topic, and that the titles / topics were a little more descriptive. Sometimes I open 3 threads and find they are all virtually the same thing. I know that's on the posters, so I'm not sure how to improve it.
Working FT and having other responsibilities doesn't allow a lot of time on the board.
Is there any way to have a popup appear when hovering over a title to see what's been posted without opening the post, like some boards have?
a few handles are auto-skip, bet
This is why I prefer to lurk/asshoe. 6 motherfuckers posting the same thing and the mods wonder why I don't "contribute that much."
Thanks mom.
Does that mean you don’t see anything they post including threads? What happens if it’s a conversation involving them? Do you just see non sequitor responses?
When I scroll through "new" nothing they post shows up. Which is nice because they flood the board. If something they post gets stickied I see it if I click on "hot".
If they comment on something I post I do not get a notification but I can see it if I look through the comments.
Thanks
