That’s my only issue here on voat. Too much engagement with obvious shills. They are winning right now on this board because the message and debate about serious topics gets lost in the never ending back and forth with the shills. We should just downvote and not respond. We are never going to change a shills mind. All the petty arguing with them only makes it more difficult for newfags to learn what this movement is all about.
This is exactly right. I know I’ve engaged them too many times. Low hanging fruit from a rotten tree. The best thing to do is just ignore them as if they were being shadow banned lol. Just leave them alone. It’ll piss them off and they’ll go bother someone else.
I doubt they’ll actually go bother someone else as they’re getting paid to be here. The ridiculous back and forth with them will not fill the comments here diluting the message

Your premise that they are paid to engage can't be accepted just because you say that. Be reasonable.
