The user who offered to buy a voat account is from Shareblue (whatever)

submitted ago by NeedleStack

Remember that post from 4 days ago where user JohnCStevenson offered to buy an established voat account? Here is the post if you missed it. He deleted his post but stupidly put his email address in the post "johncstevensonSB (at) gmail (dot) com" (SB being for Shareblue naturally) so yes, it was his post.

I was just looking at the Shareblue domain page on voat and noticed that the same user posted a direct ShareBlue link 3 days ago: Russia is "coming after America", and Trump doesnt care

I figured you guys would want to know about this connection so you can be alert for similar shenanigans in the future.

Stay vigilant, goats! :)

Edit: JohnCStevenson is crying to /v/ProtectVoat about my post now.

I feel more stupid for having clicked on this post (though I did give you an upvote for a conversation worth having).

Dude. You post some good content. This isn't among it. Who cares if shills are among us or accounts are being bought?

Just keep talking. They can't win. Stop being so paranoid obsessive. Deal with speech as speech and with speech. The rest takes care of itself.

The only issue that matters is vote manipulation.

Alas, paranoid nuts seem a permanent feature of the landscape around here.

It makes for some shit conversations but also some easy debate wins.

I just cannot understand why people don't realize they are creating an anti-reddit as opposed to a free speech platform. It is frustrating. But clearly I have nothing better to do...

It is frustrating. But in their own way I find all of these discussion platforms frustrating. For various reasons they're still usually better than talking to people face to face though in my opinion.
