For months, the Erica Marsh account had raised suspicions among online misinformation experts due to her lack of a real-world footprint and her devotion to attention-grabbing viewpoints one called “cartoonishly liberal.”
No, it has to do with politics. Faking identities has been a thing since early chat rooms, and the article doesn’t go into any technological breakthrough they used. It was pretty much just social engineering.
There you go again, pretending technology only has to do with the next breakthrough. I mean did you read what I wrote? I literally talked about that explicitly.
Technology is technology. If it’s relevant today then why shouldn’t it be here? If the US was constructing water wheels again all of the sudden it would be a technology topic and relevant to this sub.
If you don’t like it and you’re leaving, great. There’s the door, what makes you think anyone cares? Or ought to?
On a technicality point of course not.
On a point of quality you’d basically flood the community with threads most people aren’t interested in on that logic. And probably turn technology into an American Politics/News community.
It’s too low a bar to be considered technology. It’s not even going into how twitter allowed it to happen. It’s just the fact this one user exists and talks about politics.
Be the change you want to see then brother, post what quality content you think ought to be seen and shared. You’re allowed to.
Are you suggesting the community is dead and needs politics/news?
Are you admitting you don’t even contribute and yet you deign to judge the people who do?
Sure do. I don’t see any issue with doing that. If it’s a healthy community there shouldn’t be any reason to justify low quality content on it.
Big “I’m the main character” energy here. Enjoy yourself, because people around you don’t.
Not taking main character by any means. Are you saying the community just shouldn’t be moderated for low quality content?
Besides you’re the one who went the route of focusing on my character specifically, whereas I was arguing for the community.
Hell this discussion was about the community until you started turning it onto me, brother
Anyway will just not respond any further, since I’m pretty sure this entire discussion has run it’s course and let’s face it: none of what either of us are saying has to do with the topic or the community at this point anyway…
