Yeah, a pattern is there. And a lot of it is from based posters.

I suspect otherwise.

The shills are here to discourage Redditors from joining a site that isn't controlled by their Masters.

Their Masters can't control the message or narrative, so they are attempting to smear the site instead with absurd posts that are upvoted by sock puppets servants.

Many of the votes are probably real, but the title is click bait for those who recognize some of the failings of the current "left".

The story has little or no substance, and is predicated on surveys. Survey questions can be manipulated to generate a preferred outcome. It's amateurish.

Yep! Precisely what I meant by: based posters :)

Couldn't agree more. There are many around!

"something that says leftists have mental issues" = "it is trying to discourage redditors from joining saidit"? What is the correlation. Because most of reddit is leftist? I would posit they are not, the r/politics and other subs are heavily censored and rwers either joined the quarantined r/donald or left to other sites such as voat. They might hence also come to saidit. This guy that made the thread could be one of them, this info probably also got posted onto r/donald and/or voat. If a leftist tho sees this and decides to not make a username on saidit, well fine, they can be a snowflake. I'd rather try to argue against this with facts. Or accept that it is likely true but try to explain why that may be. One example being that in order to have depression, you must have higher IQ and empathy, because otherwise you don't get stressed much, a sociopath thinks he is perfect and hence does not seek out mental health help and then never gets recorded in these statistics. My main point is it is a fallacy to automatically assume this is shill work made to hurt redditors.

Its not an "automatic assumption". It is pattern recognition of the contextual situation at play through observation over a set period, parallel to the developing body politics. Your argument isn't invalid and if it was an isolated incident there would be more applicability. But there are various accounts that purposefully post biased or limited content to inflame simple minded debates and may even be bots since they never comment themselves, or have copy-pasta. Observe the situation and study it for yourself first.

Ok could be but the evidence is not there, it seems to discredit this, if it is true who cares if Tarrock is a bot or doesn't comment. Do you have any other examples, is anything that criticizes liberals part of this pattern. I think also Tim Pool is doing click bait videos to get money on youtube but isn't that ok, you have mainstream media doing videos for ad money.

How about a peer reviewed study on this https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6600024/ This might help explain the results IMO.

I don't mind discussing this topic, I don't want it to get censored, and just writing it off as bots or shills censors it IMO. It doesn't further the discussion. I think the conclusions of a discussion could backfire on Trarick if he is a bot or shill just trying to make liberals look bad.

Wait.. you're still talking to me? Figure out your own conclusions. Nobody is trying to "censor" anything, just observe it for yourself instead of getting so anxious. And in so far as discussions, the community can state theirs based on their perspective.
