1) It's too agressive [sic]

Your shill opinion. You want TABSs or something less offensive while the STABs are trying to destroy SadiIt with their STABbing actions?

2) The image is definitely too agressive [sic] (and not directly related to "Shills, Trolls, and Bots")

The image works with the acronym, STABs perfectly. Furthermore, I wanted to grab people's attention. I didn't expect the LXXX/MoronLeft to sockpuppet it up. I'm glad they did and hope everyone uses this term. While I'm at it, I also want to promote my STORYOTYPE term for common usage, among others in this /s/Terminology sub.

3) It's rather difficult, or impossible, to determine on Saidit who is a shill or a bot

Some, yes. Others, no. Many are obvious. Some take time to discover. And some, like you, play by the rules with your disinfo and counter-info campaigns.

4) It's against freedom of speech, and it's a form of censorship, and it's against the pyramid of debate to harass users on Saidit by calling them Shills, Trolls, and/or Bots

Fallacious, again. It's NOT against freedom of speech. You're trying to suppress my vocabulary.

Shills, trolls, and bots are descriptions.

If I were to call you a liberty-fucking idiot with your head up your vaccine-loving ass, then that would be name calling AND downward discussion. But I won't because it's against the rules.

5) Trolls still have a right to be trolls on Saidit, as long as they follow the rules (and /u/magnora7 & /u/TheAmeliaMay remove trolls who are naughty)

To some extent, yes they do, as stated in 3) and obviously M7 allows the ABCs of SaidIt to persist.

6) It's unlikely that anyone cares enough to be a shill on Saidit (still waiting for my check from Soros...)

More fallacious bullshit.

The powers that be aren't censoring Facebook, Gab, Parler, Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, etc. for no reason. They don't want the truth out there. They don't want it coming from SaidIt either.

This is NOT new. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO

7) It's unlikely that bots are operating on Saidit, or if they did, they'd be rather obvious. They do operate on Reddit, and are often obvious

The "American" de-motivator bot is the most obvious of all. Ask the admins about it. Or use your brains next time you see a comment that does not even relate to the post it's in and you'll find that user account is only a few hours or days old at best. Always complaining about "America". Usually quite accurate and quote-worthy, but always anti-American spam too.

There have been several other bots too, legit and not-legit.

8) WTF are Commie-Nazi asstrolls? (Don't feel obliged to answer any of this; I just think that calling people names on Saidit is already well established and does not need to "evolve" in this McCarthyist manner; and that this is against site rules)

LXXX/MoronLeft are Commie-Nazis, or haven't you seen their asstroll posts, comments, and imagery.

I'm only responding because you're obviously pretending do be a contrarian idiot and it needs to be exposed and people will read this because this post is on the rise. You'll probably give some polite stupid shill response but I won't answer you timesuck until tomorrow. I invite readers to view my other responses to shill socks today for more breakdowns of his nonsense.

    Quote of the month:

    " Trying to have a discussion with /u/socks is like trying to dance in quicksand. "

    It never ends with socks, pretending to be perpetually ignorant while promoting vaccine propaganda and authoritarianism.

    Here's a couple more from just today.

    Bonus from Tom:

    PSA: /s/socks is a confirmed shill.

    Not just that he actually gets very nasty and aggressive when something really does trigger him (unlike your pic which just sparked his concern trolling).

    Then spends the rest of the time acting weak as water and oh so reasonable.

    It's such a shame because we could actually use some sincere left wing and centrist voices here to add to the discussion.

    I think there's more of us left-leaning centrists here than you realize. M7 and D3 for example. Many of us don't buy into the establishment's tribalist left-right nonsense. And importantly, because we're not tribal about it we can discuss the issues freely, regardless of the what the tribes demand we believe.
