Honestly, this site is starting to become it's own worst enemy with the sheer amount of fake news. We either need downvoting or better moderation. Every day there's some 'Omg I found a Wi-Fi AP near a voting booth pedes it's proof of hacks!'. First of all, if you knew one bit about technology you'd know that's complete BS. But then you get more unverified twitter claims like 'Omg Joe just hacked into the election' And you have all the commenters cheering them on buying into it like. Not only is it bad to provide false hope and fake news, but it also distracts us from the real voter fraud, and makes everyone on this forum look stupid. Maybe they can make another forum for LARPing and disinformation, but I've really had enough of it

Thanks, I figured that'd be the case since it still uses Reddit, but I mean for everyone
I mean by default so that everyone knows how to do it, just make the button show back for everyone. Probably wouldn't even matter because people would still upvote fake shit though
Yeah, I'll admit I'm just venting my anger. Just can't believe a post about someone finding some Wi-Fi signals on their phone got 8000 upvotes and 1000 comments like 'Hurray add 1 trillion votes now' Like Jesus Christ
Basically, I just feel like people are way too content to just go along with larping instead of actually working towards change
Generally I am post and let post. But if Joe Biden is inaugurated on Jan 20th, and we are still getting LARPS about habbenings (because at that point we can be 100% sure its not habbenning), maybe time to consider tags or filters on such because this is our only real resource, and its important to communicate the actual important information, and to be able to see it, instead of seeing 1400 posts about GIna Haspel being arrested, or mysterious plane flights to GITMO.
'Buh Trump is working on the inside fighting the demon-army'. 'He lost on purpose to show us how bad dah swamp is'. Honestly frikkin losing it with these people. 'Hur hur doomer you don't believe in the plan???'
Yeah, I am patiently waiting to be right about "the plan". Thing is, I expect to be called a doomer after the 21st for not believing Powell is secretly special counsel, and the army has a plan to remove Biden from WH, and replace with legitimate President Trump, after military tribunals of the house and senate, where McConnell will be sent to GITMO. Thats about when I lose it.
Yeah it's just been getting more and more insane since election day. I'm about as mad as anyone about the election, but clinging onto false hopes of the army somehow arresting everyone for treason is uh yea good luck with that
Yeah, we'll see what happens on the 6th, but If Trump just presents the same old evidence again then idk what's ever going to happen at that point besides larping about a civil war which probably will never happen
Not agreeing, not disagreeing, just noting:
This cacophony of bullshit is new because we’ve always had a media establishment chewing our food for us before. It’s the information equivalent of growing your own food. Very direct, very difficult.
There needs to be a speculation and a news tag or forum. Maybe that would make it better, but seeing so much stupid LARPing lately has gotten me angry
It's not a few new posts though. Yesterday there was the stupid post about someone finding a few Wi-fi signals on their phone and everyone acting like they're some incredible tech-wizard. Then the day before a front-page post about some random Twitter user hacking into the election. Both highly upvoted and both with 0 real proof
I agree. Lin Wood tweets should be auto-banned. Along with the stream of random Twitter accounts nobody's ever heard of posting increasingly sensational fantasy Plan porn.
Basically, honestly, a lot of alternative news sources are just as informed as we are. They see some rumors then make a post about it, to which we post to somehow validate the rumors
I've seen that pattern play out frequently.
Buh it was a missle!!!!
I think it is up to each individual to decide what is accurate. Why the hell would anyone blindly listen to a tweet? I think you are being a bit more condescending and almost shillest. If someone can't figure out what is real or fake; who is supposed to know where the censorship will start?
It's not like we really have free-speech here. It's a Trump forum, let's not pretend like we're some open-discussion board
