There was something "off" about Socks. I understand that he would often try to back up his left wing nut beliefs with an "argument". HOWEVER all of his arguments were very "scripted" almost as if copied off of Snopes or otherwise the arguments sounded to the trained ear as if they were pre-scripted "auto-responses' to any opposition to main stream narrative.

I don't mind having opposition to beliefs, but it's quite literally impossible for anyone considering the preponderance of counter-narrative theories presented from Saiddit users to then yet still parrot Buzzfeed/Snopes level scripted reactions like he did, without at least...taking a step back to re-assess their beliefs on any random topics. Humans would do that, but maybe not Ai's.

TLDR...Socks was 90+% likely to be 1. a moronic idioacracy level left wing nut. 2. A paid or un-paid (lol) shill.

◟(ᵔ ̮ ᵔ)͜💐 RIP Socks....flowers for you...it was a good run you had there. I can't wait to track down your alt user account and whatever other subhuman sell-out miscreants that are sent to take your place.

So you want to hear "off"? How about this... he made a thread on reddit to shame saidit just after being banned (which backfired) and then was also talking to his alt who made the thread using his main reddit socks account, and even fighting with himself!

https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/uk8kk2/saidit_is_borked/i7odcbj/

And I know the reddit socks account is his because he started PMing me about it. And the OP of that thread is definitely also him because it was the only person I banned from saidit that day and the thread was created 2 hours after the ban. So they're both definitely socks.

Talk about strange. I still don't know what to make of that one. Why is he disagreeing with himself using alts

The way reddit socks says "It’s a Cloudflare security setting, not a Saidit ban. If you need this explained, ask." sounds like he wasn't even operating the socks account on saidit, because he didn't even realize it had been banned from saidit until a few hours later when he started PMing me. Like another person he was overseeing was running it and he thought that person had fucked up. So even though the reddit socks account is clearly associated with the saidit socks account, the reddit socks didn't realize the saidit one had been banned until hours later. So they're run by different people who are cooperating.

So it seems likely to be a group working together. Either that or he just loves insanely disagreeing with himself to create random public arguments.

Talk about "off".

edit: And then he deleted the reddit comment, removing the evidence. And then replied to this saidit comment using another alt account I had to ban. This guy has way too much time on his hands.

    This account has been banned because making alternate accounts for banned accounts is not allowed.

    Would you like to host a decentralized Lemmy instance?
    Unless it's just talk, several of us will be sharing how to do so soon.

    Look at the users who support the ban - the craziest of the Saiditors. Look at those who don't support the ban - the smarter contributors.

    False.

      I'm for freedom.

      In September the PPC was the ONLY substantial fringe party against the COVID hysteria overreaction. I was going to help my friend Victor Green on his campaign but they and the party were unorganized. I despise their conservative platform, but my protest vote for them was ONLY for freedom.

      Now I'm campaign manager for David Sylvestre running for the non-partisan None Of The Above Direct Democracy Party. https://Projex.Wiki/wiki/David_Sylvestre_2022_political_campaign
