He generally shows most of the signs of the misinformation accounts:
- Wants to repeatedly tell basically the same narrative and nothing else
- Narrative is fundamentally false
- Not interested in any kind of conversation or in learning that what he’s posting is backwards from the values he claims to profess
I also suspect that it’s not a coincidence that this is happening just as the Elon Musks of the world are ramping up attacks on Wikipedia, specially because it is a force for truth in the world that’s less corruptible than a lot of the others, and tends to fight back legally if someone tries to interfere with the free speech or safety of its editors.
Anyway, YSK. I reported him as misinformation, but who knows if that will lead to any result.
Edit: Number of people real salty that I’m talking about this: Lots
Tbh I think that the Linux sucks guy is a different person
They’re the only 3 accounts trying to push that it’s brigading and needs to be shut down.
Plus they’re so heavily invested into this thread to defend the accused and attack OP.
That all just seems hella sus to me.
Agreed. A lot of the things they’re accusing me of overlap with things that can get me banned, and they all turned incredibly vocal about what a bum I am at about the same time. The “wikipedia sucks” guy has accused me of “stochastically” causing him to get death threats, apparently, by making this post.
They’ve all got a right to say all that stuff, of course, and I’m not sure it is productive to try to guess whether they are all the same person or are all saying the same bizarre things all at the same time for some other coordinated reason. I think my point has pretty much been made now, in terms of people seeing this post and being able to comment and read if they want to, at this point. I think their goal at this point is to try to push a narrative that I am “toxic as fuck” and did some various outlandish things and need to be banned or defederated, hoping that by sheer repetition it’ll start to take hold.
do you think that because it’s explicitly what I’ve been saying?
false dichotomy.
I’m not saying it has to be one or the other of those things. If I’d said “or” instead of “or are,” it would be a dichotomy.
this is nonsense.
Was gonna say that I didn’t see madthumbs in the thread, but his comment was right at the bottom, mentioned smt about cults and protecting smt. Given that’s his only comment on the thread he still seems like a separate person.
