Man, every post I made that agreed with you got downvoted multiple times. I used to think you were a bit paranoid, but, shit. It seems like they ARE gaslighting you and people who agree with you.
There has to be someone colluding this on an admin scale, I think, like at Reddit, or they'd purge the shills. I mean, isn't this site a fundamental rejection of the Reddit system of shillery? It's being perniciously subverted by the ShareBlue shills and the corporate hacks that want to turn this site from a free-speech bastion to another whored-up echo chamber.
considering my profile is now either locked or glitched because some fuckery against my account at the admin level no really. check the archives of my profile someone took every few hours around the exact day my profile got locked (late feb 9) i've clearly commented and posted since then, but no change on my profile numbers, and any discussion attempt on this major issues of fuckery at the admin level is being censored.
Well, it seems your profile is definitely fucked up. Doesn't seem like a coincidence either.
What can be done though? Only thing that seems viable is spreading awareness of the shilling, but once a saturation point is reached, this site will be just like Reddit 2.0, and we'll be back at square one.
Is it possible to have a shill-less website in this day and age, or has the internet become compromised in general?
no, nor should there be. shills, if not paid, are people, and are free to speak. that said, there needs to be an always-on awareness system to always point out and consequently destroy the power of the shills.
voat will not implement the idea because it's run by a shill.
How are shills people, man? I think once they give up their opinions for money, they're part of the machine, and the system. Those aren't their real thoughts, they're bought and paid for. They're puppets. Puppets don't deserve respect.
I've looked into some of the people he claims are shills. Some are false positives, but there are ones on there that are legitimately shills. I've seen shills on here too. People who pop in, no other posts, and make a pro-Clinton, or anti-Trump comment.
Well you can see how long I've been here, all my comments, and I have only one account. No alts. I am just an old man with some old-fashioned opinions, but just because I don't agree with insanegoat he labels me a shill.
