The only motive one could have to lie this badly is if they wanted their target to look bad by spreading it.

I would say that the left has a worse problem with fake news than the right does. But to the extent that fake news is a problem on the right, 90% of it is discred ops.

This is why I think we should not only call out disinfo, but when it happens we should ask the OP where they got it from and start tracing it back as far as we can, to see who is engaging in discred ops and how they are successfully leaking it in.

We shouldn't assume the worst in an OP. People get fooled. Disinfo wouldn't be dangerous if that weren't true. But we have to trace it back.

Discred ops and disinfo ops just cost us a presidency, considering the whole Qanon situation and how they interrupted the most important meeting there was for demonstrating voter fraud. Considering we have almost nothing left to lose, the only thing discred ops and disinfo ops can cost us now is our race so that would be the next domino if we fail to trace this.

Well fuck. I was too nice to OP. OP actually was a faggot. I should have archived.

Did anyone catch the username? And no, we shouldn't press admins for info. Admins shouldn't be sharing data that isn't visible on the site, IMO. So let's please not put AOU in a weird situation. This is the users' job.

I want to say it was Ronin, but I may have a vowel wrong because that account doesn't exist. It seems they are trying to parody the account names of existing users. Either to stir up trouble among the users or gain trust by having a familiar sounding name.

Account was and they used alts as well but acted like regular users, up until that 3rd one.

Is there any way to search past posts and comments once the account has been deleted? I can't find any of the shit you guys are talking about.

Edit: I came across one of ronan's comments the other day that stood out to me as odd but now can't find it.

Nope.

You have to manually search the sub logs for deleted posts/comments.

Also, self-deleted posts/comments aren't logged.

Nobody is pressing admins. Pickled is a well known jewish troll from Voat.

I figured we were smart enough to not do that, but I wanted to encourage it staying just one person. Last thing I would want is for none of us to have privacy rights just because a mob starts demanding things.
