This entire blob of text is a bad joke. People are using discord and reddit to organize and conservatives are calling foul because they can’t imagine people from different walks of life would ever communicate and organize together towards a common goal. It’s almost as if regressive don’t understand what a society is supposed to look like and function in the absence of hate.
Read the article. These people in the Discord server are astroturfing engagement of social media posts related to Kamala Harris, with evidence of their strategies as well as the woman running this particular astroturfing campaign being a paid Democrat party staffer.
The people doing the upvoting are volunteers using their own accounts. Not astroturfing. Literally the opposite, they’re not getting paid.
Let me get this straight; you actually think if people are using their own accounts to feign organic popularity of social media posts, news stories, and political candidates for free, that’s not astroturfing?
Let me get this straight, you actually think if people are using their own feet to walk and knock on doors for free, that’s not astroturfing?!
Same concept, different landscape. Organized != Astroturfing.
That’s the second best false equivalency fallacy I’ve heard over the past seven days! 👍🏾
(Nothing was gonna beat “the electoral college is literally DEI for elections”, I’m sorry. Not to denigrate your efforts or anything!)
No offense taken. I’m actually a little jealous of you; I can’t disassociate from reality at will, but I can see how that would be super handy.
lmao what the fuck is this site
Right wing political site. Generally, they’re best for op-eds (I almost never use them for actual news), although in some rare cases such as this one they do perform some journalism.
the compass is whatever, I was more amused by those factuality ratings.
They post 95% opinion articles AFAIK and are on the right so I’m not shocked by this rating at all.
I don’t have any clear indication as to whether opinion pieces (or individual stories in general) factor into these scores.
