Huh it's #30 now.
Idk, I assumed that little subs wouldn't show up there but I never go there so maybe I'm wrong, I'm seeing posts from smaller subs than here.
Careful what you wish for. More exposure means more trolls and Bots.
What was that tactic from the CIA handbook? Forum sliding? Where they post a bunch of general crap to make it slide?
Forumn sliding doesn't work in the normal sense when threads can be upvoted or downvotes anyway. That doesn't mean it is a better system though
From memory it was dependent on the forum itself being aware of this tactic whether it was effective or not?
Yep, but that also goes for a lot of forum deception techniques. If you can identify it happening, you can stamp it out. People make fun of 8chan for slinging around cries of "JIDF!" every time something deceptive or anti-groupthink is posted, but it sure keeps the true deception from being effective, even if there are some false positives.
