A month ago, you could tell that the shills had not arrived yet, at least not very many of them. You could post how much you thought the US government was corrupt, and how obvious blatant false flags were, and you would get dozens of upvotes and not a single downvote. You could talk about how GMOs are not 100% safe and how vaccines need to be given independent studies to verify their safety. No downvotes, lots of people agreeing with you.
But in the last few days, I've been seeing a lot more downvotes overall, and a lot more stifling of dissent. Sure, the general opinion is still "fuck the US government", but now instead of a post like that having +30 -0, it's now +30 -10. And those downvotes will surely only grow larger in the coming months.
They're here. And they're trying to manipulate public opinion here just like they did on Reddit. Be prepared.

I would love a Subverse that tracks this kind of data.

If we had tools that could be made public for tracking user activity than managing a collaboration via moderating would be something I'd be willing to do.

Not everyone has the time to dedicate to such a task.
