also, how single users suddenly dominate the giant subs like worldnews and politics

Today it's u/johnruby with 3 in the top 20. Yesterday it was u/maxwellhill

bablarb · 2019-01-21T01:33:11+00:00

Very valid point. Lots of other online forums have suffered the same treatment. The attackers usually follow the same script:

1 post something super racist

2 upvote said post to top spot

3 discredit the site by calling them out on racist post - "see this shit they upvote?"

On this topic, why not point out the only non-disputable data-point we have?

The World's most active reddit city of 2013: Eglin air force base, which just happens to host a research team on astro-turfing

They owned it then. and never let go.

yup, very refreshing. The fact that it's #1 on saidit/s/all is also proof that the mic's 'perception correctors' still haven't poisoned saidit.

I hope it lasts.

Isn't this more true for foreign than internal issues?

There are some small but real differences in their domestic priorities, but when it comes to foreign affairs... that's deep state territory. If you're Iran the US will come after you no matter who's president.

bablarb · 2019-02-12T04:24:23+00:00

I agree 100%, reddit is heavily manipulated - but a minor stake in a $2+ billion company doesn't change who's running the show. Reddit is still a US company, operating on US soil, and its management and top-admins and hw and servers are all at the physical mercy of only one government - and it's not the Chinese.

Then just hrs after the investment was announced some admins "admit" they censor content to please their new Chinese overlords - I just can't bring myself to believe it. Seems crazy that the old media-manipulation machinery would roll over that easily.

However, if I was a professional perception-controller (with n ntrepid licenses) and I wanted to spook a western audience about the great new menace of China - I would do just that... make fake claims about "them taking over" to trigger a standard "were not gonna let them!" reaction.

That's just my random thoughts. There are so many layers of deception on reddit that I take nothing there at face value.

bablarb · 2019-02-11T10:51:42+00:00

Mods openly say they're catering to new Chinese owners

Smells of planned trolling to me.

The idea that Tencent buys <10% of reddit and is able to implement censorship on day 1 is really hard to believe, sorry.

bablarb · 2019-02-10T12:37:44+00:00

what's the basis for the claim in the first place?

The Carter Center worked in Venezuela for years as third-party/independent monitors to make sure the elections were free and fair. Just google "carter center venezuela"

bablarb · 2020-05-02T21:08:47+00:00

yes, lots of groups & governments push their stuff. I was commenting on who dominates by looking at "top" posts.

bablarb · 2020-05-01T21:43:31+00:00

Just grep for 'manning'

The key edit is principle 2, which explicitly prevents Amnesty from advocating on Manning's behalf. No urgent actions, no POC status.

"Amnesty International’s position is that Chelsea Manning’s disclosure did not meet the criteria for protection (principle 2)"

It's a clean break from their existing policy (tshwane principles), which demand they support her (while she was re-imprisoned), as far as I can tell. The edited policy would limit Amnesty to simply argue that Manning should be afforded the "for the common good"-defense in a trial. Real weak stuff, and a big step down from what amnesty claims to stand for.

It's also disturbing how they decided to rewrite the rules while Manning was sitting in a cell.

yes, there's more to this.

bablarb · 2020-05-01T21:16:51+00:00

This clown has a big voice:

Clawson is declaring that “someone” should fabricate a situation that would produce a conflict that could have a catastrophic impact on the United States as well as on the entire Middle East. He might be seen as moderately ridiculous, but [] he is well wired into the system. He writes regularly for the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal; appears on television as an “expert”

Whoever publishes Truthful information should be thanked. They help inform and educate the public and thus strengthen our democracy.

I personally couldn't care less who provided the info, as long as it's 100% authentic, which it was.
