Time for a new poll about banning flat earth.
This time, "flat earthers" aren't allowed to participate.
Every shill with a matured account came out of the woodwork and skewed the vote.
Obviously, this will have to be left up to the mods. I for one think they should forgo the democratic approach and unilaterally permaban the content. And if anyone has a problem with this approach, they can see me in the streets.
Couldn't agree more.
You don’t ban conspiracy theories on a fucking conspiracy forum. That’s fucking retarded.
Correct.
Flat Earth is mental illness.
So is censoring other people whose views you don’t agree with.
Every single one of them behaves like a shill. I didn't even particularly want them banned, didn't vote in the poll. Genuine users don't fuck around with armies of alts
If nothing else, it certainly exposed something bigger is going on behind all the posting.
My globeshape brings all the shills to the yard...
Gotta ask, is my authenticity in doubt?
Hurts man. He asked for a vote and a take...
I'm a quiet guy with a life. 90% of the time I go to comment I end up backing out because I think twice before speaking and don't feel it's worth sharing.
I've enjoyed your stuff because it seems like genuine independent thought but in the back of my mind I never could shake away how you manage to post and comment so frequently though. When you changed your vote and said tolerance isn't the way I thought it was interesting because that wasn't what I was going for at all. Your immediate opposition to my take without any attempt to understand me... that's not who I thought you were. Just ban the users if they're such obvious bad actors. Why is it so hard for people to see that all users should not be restrained for the actions of bad actors? It's classic Hegelian dialectic. Talkestshil wants me to die and burn in hell? Seriously?
Anyway, I know I'm an honest and genuine user, but you don't. I get it I guess. I've been lurking here almost everyday for two years and now I'm thinking about just walking away. It sucks to see how gullible people are AND how active others are at corralling them.
Never said a thing about flat earth btw. Not once, ever. That's not even the issue.
Btw, quoting pol pot for your cause?
Can't say I care for the new look.
To summarize my own independent thought:
Sad day for genuine users.
You asked if your account is sketchy. On the line of accounts from
Proven shills - vote manipulation alts - reactivated sleeper accounts - lurkers - users who don’t post frequently - frequent posters - community builders
It’s pretty obvious where you fall, isn’t it?
I mean, what did you think the answer should be? “No, your reactivated sleeper account isn’t at all suspicious? Please tell us what we should think?”
Do I really have to lay it out?
The sleeper/lurker suspicion is expected. No issue here. Haven't said anything in a long time, I get it.
Both verifiably false and disingenuous. Does n̶o̶o̶n̶e̶ ̶e̶l̶s̶e̶ vaginathuglevelzero care about truth? Is it all just social credit for saying snarky comments? This is what's disappointing.
The 800 comments out of absolutely NO WHERE were extremely telling.
Admittedly, this account is only a month old, but I've been poking in here since day 1.
The ALL-TIME best post, ever, on this sub, received just 339 comments. The vast majority of the "all-time best" posts, ever, have seen ~100.
To see 800 comments like that, out of the blue, is a major red flag and an undeniable indicator of brigading... And it was undeniably TMOR.
Flat Earth is the conspiracy that the government is hiding the true shape of the Earth. So what is the basis for banning it?
It's false? If you want to ban conspiracy theories that are false then if I post that Britney Spears is a lizard person controlled by satanic forces will I also get banned for that?
It's disingenuous? How do you determine if someone is serious about what they are posting?
It's spam? I don't think it would be a bad idea to have a rule that limits how many times you can post a similar topic in a week but the mods don't seem interested in doing that.
Adjacent topics. What happens if you've ban Flat Earth and the same users start spamming the board with topics about gravity and space that do not mention the shape of the Earth? How far do you go? Do you also ban any topic about NASA or the moon? What if they believe you can see too far because the Earth has a much larger diameter than they are telling us? Is that a ban?
Now do “slippery slope fallacy”
I Left reddit because of censorship. U have something to say bout a topic then say it. Debate it or scroll past.
How many other topics and post are absolute bullshit...do they get censored too?
No.
Nay.
Hallelujah.
Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME?? This retarded faggotry again? NO, not on board with censoring. Anyone who wants to censor other people is as retarded, if not more, than the flat earthers.
