What is this? A bank of phones caught click-farming in Thailand not too long ago. It’s very similar to Chinese and Russian bot farms – a handful of operators who are connected to a metric fuckton of phones, each signed into a fake account with tools to help these bad actors ‘get in character’.
You can usually tell troll farm accounts by their prolific post history. I have a job so I can’t stick around and talk politics all day, but these guys do, so they can literally post once every 18 minutes for over a month, day and night, without any interruptions. You might ask “don’t you have a job that you should be doing?!” when confronted with constant posting, day and night, but the answer is they DO have a job and that’s to push the memes and BS that they are pushing. Another way you can tell? Two replies to the same message – caused by the troll farm employees stepping on each other’s feet, and not properly handing off identitites to each other. Rule 3 says I can’t accuse Socialist Berserker of being one of these troll accounts, but Rule 3 doesn’t prevent me from correctly pointing out that this sort of operation exists, and how you can tell if an individual is a member of this operation. So…make your own minds up.
Judging from past experience, mods give zero shits and need you to “prove” they are a troll. Which I wouldn’t imagine that proves. Have you had a different experience?
True, you might be right, but at least calling it out calls people like Jordon Lund to attention. I noticed after he caught flak from me, he started more directly challenging people like this poster. Maybe pointing out to him how this Socialist Berserker said similar but different things to one comment within minutes or even seconds of each other might just be the ammo they need to actually call a spade a spade. That said, if they don’t, we have the receipts and we can point to them over and over again every time posters like this one spew this kind of malarkey. :)
I’m not sure. Should I report my own post to get it in front of the moderator’s eyes, or just keep these posts whenever we start talking about this poster.
I’m not going to speak on THIS poster, but…

I have seen them reply to the same comment three times, each time seemingly unaware of the others. Interesting you point this out.
Call that out! Report it. If they make it easy for us to see, we should sure call them out on it.

Here’s two examples I just actually remembered where to find:

Thanks for digging those up.
I will DM these images to him.
Sounds good.
