LOL. So funny! I didn't know he did that. Also, my Bittersweet Seeds cautionary tale is about an A.I., the guy who co-founded it, and our world in ~2045-2050. I need to finish getting it out of my head and into a compelling first draft - then get feedback and support. It's already too packed, and nothing changed at all, but 2020 has given me maybe another ~3% worth of stuff to sprinkle in for flavour. The only thing surprising about 2020 is how organized the evil is, how their plans all merged, how blind the sheeple are, and how fast it's all escalated - and the food crises.

have "grander" plans than a SaidIt counter-troll awareness and resistance campaign

Seems like a bittersweet dilemma, except the result is a foregone conclusion. Let it be, the seeds have been sown.

my phone number is 222-222-2222

it is scramble proof, if i mix up the numbers it is still 222-222-2222

the process is some kind of anti cryptography.

it works, that is the important part.

JasonCarswell · 2021-03-02T15:24:52+00:00

Yep. I feel like a broken record, but know I need to keep repeating for clarity in this maze called SaidIt. It also helps cement how different our approaches are if I can try to be articulate and they can't even use decent grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Further, I can clarify and refine expressions as well as come up with new concepts.

If I didn't have "grander" plans I'd consider trying to organize some kind of SaidIt counter-troll awareness and resistance campaign. Something like a weekly newsletter cautioning people on their techniques, recent events, and maybe some creative fun or interactive projects.

magnora7 · 2021-03-02T13:47:13+00:00

They'll be announced on saidit when they happen, don't worry

there are legitimate issues and different people with different ideas as well as some in common

That's what they depend on to stir up unrest. Find a concern or issue, begin amplifying it, and the person or group you've targeted begins at least partially to see you as 'on their side', and the lines between the attacker and their 'patsies' begins to blur. Then keep driving the wedge deeper. Very common in real life too.

When the admin (or government) tries to fight back against the trolls, the blurry lines make it hard to avoid friendly fire. In real life, this is what revolutionaries and terrorists use, sometimes skipping the 'on your side' module, and going right for the friendly fire result through increased provocations. It's a powerful technique, and hard to defend against.

yeah this is confuse me, so basically can we say that steemit is dead?

magnora7 · 2021-02-28T22:29:45+00:00

That's the reason they do it, they know it gets peoples' attention while simultaneously destroying the quality of the website. Concern trolling is a powerful tactic to create attention-grabbing drama, which is why it's seen so frequently

jet199 · 2021-02-28T22:28:17+00:00

Little they know we love the drama.

magnora7 · 2021-02-28T21:37:47+00:00

Could be one, could be 3-4. No real easy way to tell, tbh.

Yeah I assume it's from a bigger pool of people, and they have a list of like 100 forums they attack all the time on a cycle. And I'm sure they're for-hire too if you know who to contact

Panzerfauzt · 2021-02-28T21:04:00+00:00

Wait, so now this is just one person? Weren't we talking 3-4 at a time? (probably from a much bigger pool, since this is a global concerted government/corporate effort more than one year in the making)

magnora7 · 2021-02-28T20:57:30+00:00

Because drama that seems legit is more effective at destroying the userbase than simple spam ads that everyone knows are just spam. They need people to believe this community is falling apart, and that the admins are unstable. So that's what they talk about every day, and it's successful in driving people away because they begin to believe it because there is an appearance of a group consensus about it, when in actuality it's just one person using many puppet accounts

PanzerFauts · 2021-02-28T20:50:10+00:00

Haven't they been making demands though?

Seems a bit untypical for a government/corporate campaign just trying to take us down. Why aren't they just focusing on spamming and are instead writing such long-ass effort posts w/ screenshots like every other day?

Drewski · 2021-02-28T20:37:18+00:00

You should check out Hive instead, a Steemit fork that was created after Justin Sun (Tron) took over the Steemit network.

magnora7 · 2021-02-28T20:04:34+00:00

Apparently, it is big enough. It's not hard at all to pay 3-4 people $12/hr to destroy a forum if you're a government, or a giant corporation. They don't like competition and don't like people saying things they shouldn't say. This kind of forum destruction is becoming very widespread across all forums. If a forum gets more than 1,000 pageviews a day, it will probably be attacked until it dies. This is what the internet is like now, apparently.

Panzerfaust · 2021-02-28T20:02:28+00:00

But this site is not big enough to get sirious attention from whomever is paying them.

Why is this site worth the trouble? Because of free speech?

magnora7 · 2021-02-28T19:58:35+00:00

It goes beyond that, they're clearly being paid to do this. No one spends hours a day doing this every day for years. Even psychopaths have limited attention spans. The only explanation for the level of sustained intensity (and complexity of the attacks) is that they're paid to do it.

Panzerfaust · 2021-02-28T19:56:50+00:00

These trolls really don't have a life, do they?

magnora7 · 2021-02-28T19:49:57+00:00

Hm seems someone has used a bunch of accounts to fraudulently upvote this post

edit: It wasn't the OP, the trolls new tactic is to target innocent posts to try and trick me in to banning innocent people to cause drama. But instead I'm just banning the fraudulent accounts.

holy cow, the quality of this website just dropped faster than the two world trade center buildings.

Node · 2021-02-21T01:56:27+00:00

While you likely have other criteria that's more important, the fastest way would be to give each visitor a cash payment they would consider sufficient. The news would spread quickly with a high enough payment, and your site could easily see millions of visitors in a very short time.

My assumptions of what you mean by a "professional website" make it seem like the above visitors would not be your preferred demographic, who would probably be repelled by this 'fastest' approach.

I gave up marketing ages ago, but would suggest you study sites with the success you'd like to have. See how they did it, whether those techniques would still work, work for you, and all that. A/B testing is just one of the many aspects of marketing you need to become familiar with.

He could be, but also might not be. Criticism of one corporation could very possibly be corporate propaganda from a different corporation.

And I'm not saying that just because it's Popper... 😁

Same concept applies to the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" saying. Perhaps you share one goal (destruction of your mutual enemy), but they could easily be your enemy too.

Iloveyounowfuckoff · 2021-02-12T00:28:11+00:00

I have hidden it but I have little to no interest in anything crypto and it seems to be such a big part of the character of Brave. I appreciate your brief, concise explanation of how it works.

As somebody who has fallen out of love with the state of this generation of the internet and the cloying, invasive tech hardware utilized to access it I want things as stripped down and simple as possible.

I simply can't be bothered with the whole crypto ecosystem. Honestly, this website is the only place I still interact in any fashion with the wider internet and I barely do that.

If privacy is of any concern to you, you may consider using either Ungoogled Chromium or Iridium Browser. Both are basically stripped versions of Chrome without Google's tracking or any bloat. Manually add extension/plugins/add-ons such as UBlock Origin, LocalCDN, and HTTPS Everywhere without using the tracked add-ons from Google Web Store by following these instructions.

AmericanMuskrat · 2021-02-11T10:17:06+00:00

You can hide the Brave Rewards button under settings. I think saying this browser is powered by crypto is a little misleading. It has a crypto it pays you for going to ad sites that you can tip to certain other sites that are set up for it.

Edwardbarrios · 2021-02-10T14:20:07+00:00

Firstly, never give up, never quit, don’t stop.

The most common reason people have problems gaining momentum with their channels are direction and focus. There are keys that work and other things that don’t.

Check the analytics for your channel to see which vids seem to do better than others. If you find some, then focus on what you’ve done in them that isn’t done in the others, then keep doing that. If you find that all your vids are problematic then change the approach you’ve been using in your niche (assuming you have a niche).
If you are a “NewTuber” I suggest you niche it up.. get people to feel comfortable with you by being structured, reliable and consistent. This allows your viewers to feel a sense of comfort when they visit your channel because they’ll know what to expect. If you’re everywhere they’ll get confused and run.
Pay attention to the comments section. By highlighting complaints, questions and action based reactions to your content, you’ll get direction. So follow it.
SEO is your friend. Go to your competitors channels and study what keywords they are ranking for. Use some of those “techniques” to ride YouTubes algorithm… Some keywords are more popular than others. Go to the search bar and start to type in a few words and notice what auto-populates. Those are usually the keywords you want to use because that’s what people are looking for. Granted they’re in your niche.
Thumbnails are important. Use catchy thumbnails that correlate with the topic from an artistic angle. Use vivid and clean pics with eye catching bold print (font friendly).. and as a nice piece of advice that’s often neglected, become familiar with color palettes. Knowing which color schemes work well together can be the difference between a classy thumbnail and a trashy one.
Your intro and outro…Your intro should have a hook and not be too long (yes there is a formula for this. Research has been done on it). Your outro should be clean and crisp with a call to action. You can use a call to action in the intro, but quite frankly I don’t like this tactic. If you use it right after a few points or even the first one, then that’s better and periodically thereafter ok…but asking for something before you’ve given reason to deserve it, imo is kinda pushy.
The more subscribers you’ll have, the more Youtube channel will grow. If you are new on Youtube then getting subscribers may be an intense activity for You. You can buy YouTube subscribers from Instantviews.co to give a quick headstart to your channel.

I’ve given you a handful to work on, so I reserve the right to digress.. Just remember never give up, do stop, never quit!

bjam27 · 2021-02-09T19:07:23+00:00

PeterBuilt · 2021-02-07T14:28:11+00:00

it is weird that i made a post about an idea to make a decentralized social media/communications portal earlier today:

following was my post:

because so many are unhappy with the mainstream social medai, it is only a matter of time before a new form of social media will emerge.

what we need is a form of communications that does not have a central hub that can delete us and censor us.. maybe something along the lines of tor, but different, something that is not controlled by a single company..

we all have sms text messaging and we all have internet connectivity on our phones.. what if somebody were to create a decentralized network(similar to tor) that operated from phone to phone with multiple phones that are setup as servers, similar to tor?

and hey, maybe dont set this up with profit as your motivation.. like tor..

no central website like twitter or facebook that has the power to ban or censor you.

to get onto the network, you only need an invite from another current user perhaps.

fuck twitter. fk facebook. fuck google.

btw, it needs to be entirely unstoppable... it cant depend on any webserver that requires a domain name or even an entry ip address.. there must be a way to enter the network without needing to know an ip address or a web address.. this way, it is not possible for any hosting company or connectivity provider to shut you down.. a very simple app could be created that could keep track of a shitton of current ip addresses of current "known servers" even as many as 100,000 of them and then when you want to go online it would just try one after the other until it gets online and then it could update its internal list of current servers.. so what if it takes you five or ten minutes to get connected, so what... once you get connected, you are connected until you shutdown your computer.. and, it probably wouldnt usually take that long anyways, it would probably take a few seconds or maybe thirty seconds... not a huge price to pay to be able to tell FACEFUCKBOOK AND BSTWEETER TO KISS MY ASS.

I have way too many irons in the fire to take this on, or i would, but i think that this is the recipe to fix our world's social media clampdown that we have recently gone thru.

in fact, maybe what we need is simply an app that runs thru the tor service that is accessible using a standard browser? or maybe thru tor, i dont know..

but i do know that i am not the only one that is absolutely fed the fk up with suckberg and his facefuckbook and dickwaddorsey and his twatter bullshit.

wouldnt it be absolutely hilarious to watch twitter and facebook and google all go bankrupt?

oh my gawd, i would be so happy that i would piss myself.

oh yeah, and then after this is setup and running... if somebody were to design a really super duper fuck you up powerful ddos that only targeted the mainstream social media sites... put those bitches into bankruptcy in two minutes.

and then host trump's tv channel on the decentralized network.

I started using https://searx.info/ and while its only been a day or two it seems promising.

They work just fine.

It's just that they're not working for you, you're the product.

But that's no good for finding crushed velvet harem pants, is it Silence.

We're going to need sites that link to others - like a phonebook, in the coming years...

I personally haven't found google's search results satisfactory for years and I think that's the normal experience at the moment.

And I'm talking about boring everyday stuff like trivia, news stories, items not even political stuff which is obviously, in your face biased.

This is going to reach tipping point any day now, don't imagine people don't notice, it's just been a boiled frog but the frog ain't dead.

Damn thing has an extra chromosome.

This was fun to look at and pretend I understood anything.

They are going after Disqus next, because they want to censor everything.

@disqus shared the personal data of tens of millions of users without them or the websites knowing about it.

Commenting companies are mining your data, #Surprise. Everything that wasnt made by schwartz is a corrupt greedpool.
