yes, ignore the people who made this the refuge that we all came to in our time of need.
they are expected to just be welcoming to the massive influx of uninvited guests and THEY have to change THEIR ways, to suit OURS.
Free speech and hysterical childish name calling are not the same thing. When our very right to speak is at stake, we should at least make our voices rational and interesting by not sounding like dumbasses!
I'm not aware of any social media that is truly anonymous. Psuedo-anoymous sure, but not truly anonymous. There are logs showing who posts what on every site. There is psuedo-anonymity based on the trust of the gatekeepers on those sites to not share those records, and to not go snooping through them themselves. We have that on voat, and to a lesser extent on 8chan (the sunshine fiasco for those that don't know). Even now I don't assume that those barriers that keep me psuedo-anonymous here or there will always be there.
About the shills, I'm glad they are anonymous. It's more fun this way. When they fuck up and show themselves IRL it only further illustrates what retards are being sent against us. On the other hand, they only ever send retards with little exception. Kind of insulting at the same time, no?
By anonymous I mean that there's no connection between your local identity and your on-line persona, unless of course someone doxxes you.
You can use the shills as a kind of adverse witness if you show how they have a pattern of using abuse or ad hominems instead of arguing the point. Sort of like "flak over the target", but pointing out how their argument is defective.
There is a connection. It's your IP and the logs on this site. That said I have faith in Puttitout that he won't ever be turning any of that over to anyone ever. He has stated clearly, and recently, that he hasn't.
I completely agree with you on the shills though. They serve as a pretty good indicator as to what is going on.

Here's how free speech works: You support all of it, or none of it.

Lying to foment war is a form of free speech. In commerce, truth is sovereign.

Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences.

With the anonymity of social media people can avoid the consequences of their speech.

True anonymity does not exist.

There's enough anonymity on social media for sanayim or shareblue to be effective.
