I am beginning to wonder if the person who keeps spamming this board with vapid third party posts and then refusing to ever engage in genuine non-adversarial discussion about them is deliberately trying to sour everyone here on third parties.
Like, a few months ago no one cared. Now though, EVERYONE is well armed with facts and opinionated as hell.
It’s probably the Streisand effect though! And it’s great to see.
I’m more inclined to think it’s just a dedicated conservative troll that didn’t really think things through. Everything about it is just too reactionary and knee-jerk.
I think the kids call it sea lioning? Where you use a facade of civility to break down a community with subtly divisive trolling.
I would call it a mix of sealioning and concern trolling. Also be mindful of direct accusations as this person also enjoys reporting people for the slightest perceived rules infractions.
I couldn’t possibly make myself complicit in the acts of the bothsides duopoly. That’s why I will instead vote how the furthest right party wants people to. Additionally, I am on here all day every day campaigning for others to do the same, and that doesn’t make me complicit in any acts because reasons.
