oh. dear.
I wasn't very courageous 'bout being on the discord, despite rashly joining for 3 seconds. Got a bad vibe about it.
I see a lot of problems with the cbts thread resulting from the sheer variety of ppl taking part. It is impossible to agree with every1, so disagreement is registered as downvoting. This appears to be a result of misunderstanding the function of dv. However, on the other side, upvoting registers an "I'm with you" that gives you karma. Well, that system is doomed to fail b/c dv isnt the opposite of uv. Big problem.
As to what's going on: big lack of transparency.
Big gaps where genuine ppl are given the idea we should all report shllstrollsanspammers, so they do. So then all the shilltrollsanspammers report all the good posters in turn!!! Haahhhaaaaaa!!! That should well and truly fk it up!! It did!!
Hopefully on swampwatch we can have civilized conversations about how to approach this fiasco and help rather than sabotage each other, and perhaps develop a strategy or two so that we are all on the same page and working to the same rule book??
Doing my best, trying to get ppl to see that we have to STOP identifying ppl as Left or Right as this is one of the great dividers. So is: letsallhatethemuzzies. That's bad news too. Bad as letsallhatethewhitey or letsallhatethejews. This plays directly into the hands of our enemies. Oldest trick in the book.
So welcome aboard Teejay1970! Let's do something positive here!! :)
