This is good advice. Also, to the contrary, but similarly in spirit, it's good to make sure that you are not immediately disbelieving information from sources you do not trust (for example, I will see a post from time to time, from a user I think is a shill, but that I think is important and spot on, and it can cause me to automatically disbelieve something that I would otherwise think is true, due to bias).
Yup. I have a whole list of these types if things I've been categorizing. Most common disinfo technique they i see i call "soy meat". It's close to the truth but fake with intent of discussing the important part. Super common
That's fucking terrifying, but I honestly have had that exact same thought before (re: planting shills with the intention of going after these forums).
You're kind of right. Whoever is running that account never made vaccine related posts.....until you started calling them out for it a little while back. Then I noticed a couple very soft vaccine conspiracy topics. Just to appease. It's a shill operating with impunity and it occasionally takes feedback and adjusts. The key phrase there is operating with impunity though. That's an important and puzzling one.
I guess shills are OK here as long as they're shilling fox news political propaganda for the red team. It's divisive politics and only drives people further away from each other.
They don't, it is just the regular toxic and abusive accounts posting in here that are moronic shitheads. brahbruh (I suspect he is the one making abusive toxic alts to troll this forum), GynaNumbaZero, Krako and a new handshake MiRSHaW.
I definitely have noticed a big shift from pro russia posts to milquetoast red vs blue nonsense lately from this user. Ultimately I think it's important this board remains open to all viewpoints and is light on censorship except for the most egregious of spam posts. In fighting and suspicion will only divide us from the real targets but I agree a healthy mind is a suspicious mind, outside threats will always seek to divide and conquer.
You have to assume everything is disinfo and learn to think critically or else you are essentially taking the blue pill

Soy Meat is a great name for that, for 2 reasons:
Same here, nothing ever about the vaccines from him, that was the first tell for me as well.

If you have any tangible evidence, send it to a moderator.

Take ALL of this with a grain of salt. It's the Darpanet.
A profile on an internet forum is the least of any problem.
Seriously. Ask yourself.
Does this forum impact my physical, personal life? At all?
Carry on, folks.
