It's important! I am not a shill, however. I may be crazy, and I may be wrong, but I am earnest. What i do, i do for love; brother or sister.
The other shills around here can take a lesson from you in that regard.
Shills (especially the paid ones, and not the useful idiots) don't typically have that latitude :( Encouraging negativity and infighting is one of their core job responsibilities. Divide, and conquer.
Wellllllllllllll that's not entirely true. Best case scenario, you're (harmlessly) shilling your community that you created in order to drum up some engagement.
On the other, more nefarious side of the spectrum, you're shilling ideas that have the potential to literally dumb down the population that is active in your community.
It isn't a question of "if" you're a shill or not.
It is entirely true. But the accusation that you are a shill is much like the old "when did you stop beating your wife?" rhetorical question. I was never a shill, and I never beat my wife - but the accusation is automatically the guilty verdict and denial simply makes you more guilty. Lol.
I don't expect you, nor want you, to simply trust me. I only ask that you give me a fair chance to prove it (through repeated earnest interaction).

Is inviting to discuss "shilling"? Don't I have to be getting paid or being manipulated (as a useful idiot) by someone who is in order to be a shill? As I said, what I do - I do for love brother or sister. I may be crazy, and I may be wrong - but I am earnest and no shill.

Thoughts and rational discourse can't dumb down populations (even when those discussions and thoughts are profoundly stupid). Earnest studentship can only increase their intellectual capacity. The subject is irrelevant, and the exercise always of benefit. The smartest people who have ever lived have believed and thought all manner of incredibly stupid things. So it is today for the same reasons as back then.
As for the "kookifying" I think you are describing - to drive away people with a conditioned bias against certain "verboten" subjects and thoughts -, that risk is real. However, the "flat earth" psyop is specifically designed for that conditioning. The reason that you know that "flat earth" is too stupid to explore earnestly is because it has been heavily advertised (i.e. heavily funded) to you that way. Earnest flat earth research is nothing like what you have experience with through the psyop.
It isn't a question of "if" you're a shill or not.
It's how deep does your shilling go.
Yes, as a result of your consumption of the psyop you believe and feel this way without ever discussing or exploring what my community is really about and for! That is the purpose of the psyop you have fallen for. As long as you never evaluate or discuss with me, you will continue to believe I am a shill with no evidence to support it. I encourage you to give it a shot. What do you have to lose but a little time?
Do you think you're the first flerfer I've encountered and engaged with online?
That was my whole point! There are no "flerfers" in reality. That is a psyop to prevent you from ever earnestly evaluating the subject. You know it is stupid, because it has been advertised to you that way (through large expense!).
Correct
You would benefit from discussing it, and learning other perspectives. I am not like the psyop or its parrots. You merely believe I am without any evaluation.
You created a flat earth community. Case closed.
The community I created is for research! It is not a flat earth community (flat earth is a heavily funded/advertised psyop), it is a flat earth research community! We study the psyop and many other topics, and you would benefit from actually evaluating it - rather than continuing to blindly believe things without studying them!
