I’ve recognized some of these tactics, of course they are applied here. Not necessarily by the Mods, per sé, but by shills and trolls, etc. Just learn to recognize who they are bc it’s not always handshake accounts. Like it says in the post, always assume you are being surveilled and I’d add shilled to that statement.
Just an image I’ve had for awhile. I have some of the more extension psychological warfare field manuals for army and a translated FSB document as well. It’s basically all the same set of strategies regardless and it all looks very much like Soviet demoralization.
Maybe not sliding, but there are definitely measures of this being employed. Its hard to have anyone be taken seriously to try and try to come together over an idea. Not only that, but they multiply down votes on relative and positive connected statements. Thats how it is easy to spy them. ORRRR, there are a lot of deportees that have yet to earn a ticket....
Indeed, it’s hard to prove but I have the strong feeling that handshake brigades are a very real thing at the moment and are selecting the content that gets out of new to a degree. This would allow whoever controlled those brigades to influence the general disposition of the content presented to casual users who browse the front page even if the content does not reflect the majority of content that is being posted.
I typically just assume that various types of manipulation are taking place wherever value is gathered. That being said we do seem to have an immune system to some degree for many of the tactics listed. We’re vulnerable to others. Understanding where our strength and weaknesses are as a community is central to protecting ourselves.
You can't really claim just because our website is outrageously popular that purposeful forum sliding is happening....
We've actually made this place relatively immune to that because of the same stuff getting posted multiple times constantly, so that it's not possible for it to be missed, and the fact that we don't have downvotes....
Forum sliding is only successful if it hides something and that's impossible here.

Damn that looks conspicuously like the catalog for how to perform disinformation for the CIA (they have actual training on shit like this).

I always thought that this place is nothing but that. It is the internet, and I am just here for the memes.

I didn’t make a claim. Thanks for your opinion though.
