We need a sub dedicated to bot building, trolling and brigading effectively. Screw morals, or decency. They’re tools that maintain the status quo. What strategy would allow us to get as much bang for our buck?
-
We need to build up a basic set of arguments that would be the most effective in convincing each political position to our cause. Eg. Different arguments would be more effective against anarchist than conservative latinos.
-
Build bots that would enable would most reliably disperse those arguments. Spamming is not that great of a method.
Even in the context of liberal morals - spamming, trolling and brigading is clearly acceptable or even the moral imperative to them, see GZD and any person or community they deem threatening to the liberal status quo. So if anything, getting the message eg about Ukrainian war crimes and the truth about that despicable regime out by force is imperative for us.
How is that going to contribute to socialist cause?
Bots are a bad idea, the best way is to alert people and have loads of people signed up ready to respond. This is what Israel does with the parts of the IDF.
Like targeted brigading for relevant rising stories, etc. e.g. create a bot for Matrix or Telegram that tags the people “on-call” with relevant posts that are being upvoted and expected to generate a lot of views.
yea bots are terrible b/c without that human aspect, people are gonna be much less likely to give it any time and even if they do, they’re not gonna trust it at all lol
this is exaclty what bots are used for, because you got to AMP stuff. and the fastest way to create peer psychology is to have a few bots create the perception of a group. it’s like eating doener kebap. You re not going to the kebap stand where there are no people, you go to the busy one, because you would assume from the group, that the food is better…
We need to seize the memes of production! We need an army of thousands of bots class T-34 so we can do comically ammounts of trolling on liberals!
I saw from another post that !redditactionfront@lemmygrad.ml was one made a few years back.
I can contribute, as I can build bots and shit. I can’t write worth a damn though.
I won’t lie to the working class like the right does. But any tools that could be used to educate I’ll be on board.
webcrawler + semantic search(compound regex) + target statement list + debunk statement list + bot account list + ideally distributed entrypoints from which to manage the bots (publicly accessible/free wifi, via devices like raspberry pis or non-personalized/anonymity based smartphones.
Or just buy like 5000 fake accounts on the darkweb and some sort of account management/automation interface… they exist since the days of IRC hacking
imho? sorry for sounding like a lil defeatist here, but here is how i see it. be there for your local people when the time comes and lend them a hand. you know, the things shitlib trolls and script kiddies wont do because they will be too busy jacking off to their pile of worthless material possession and imaginary status rather than caring for their fellow comrade. judging by how things are heading in the worlds, might be sooner rather than later unfortunately.
that is our best bet for convincing people. stay down to earth and not spend too much time on games and schemes that hardly matter for the common man when shtf. only in hard times one can clearly see its true allies. and these trolls will not have anything to offer then.
still… if ya all wanna do it, its not like i am opposed. watching the seething is always fun. just dont lose sight of what actually matters and what we should stand for.
