Sheeba Bukuru fled the scene, with the cyclist bleeding and unconscious on the road, before reporting to the police that his car had been stolen at knifepoint 15 minutes later
They don’t teach you basic maths either? Ohmygod, that’s kinda horrible. How do you manage basic everyday living?
There’s like four comments from today calling out months long spam, and instantly there’s people protesting and crying and yelling.
I’m not the least bit bothered. Your projecting your emotions onto me. You are bothered. You are offended. You are mad.
And probably all because I’m right, you know it, but you also won’t even accept it to yourself. It’s pathetic, really.
You should block me probably so you don’t need to be bothered by people calling out the existence of bad actors spamming propaganda, you’ll just then get the pure propaganda. Much better, right?
That’s called cross posting, it’s an incredibly widespread practice, and it’s a common courtesy to share content between multiple applicable communities where there may be different people to see it.
It’s a bit different from following someone around and posting cryptic bullshit in all of their posts. As others have said, just block them and move on if you’re bothered.
But me commenting on three “cross-posted” posts about how this guy is spamming, that’s spam. But his posts, which far outnumber my comments, are not spam, but my criticism of his spam is?
Honestly, how do you manage such cognitive dissonance?
No need to follow anyone around. You never browse new? He spams his links, so they appear at the exact same time. He doesn’t read the things he posts, he spams. Just because you’re having a tantrum, stomping your foot and pretending he isn’t, that doesn’t change reality.
You don’t think disinformation online is everyone’s problem?
Or are you gonna hope that by having ignored the questions in the last comment about you maintain your extraordinary cognitive dissonance, I’m gonna accept the implication that it isn’t spam?
If you’re getting so upset online, maybe take a break from it?
So you’re still maintaining that propaganda doesn’t exist?
It’s not a newsbot just posting articles as they come out. It’s not a person reading articles and sharing interesting content.
It’s a person spamming pre-selected articles without even reading them. Thus they’re not adding anything, because they don’t even understand what the thing is they’re posting. They’re spamming.
If it was a person who posted the things he read, it would be different. But it’s not. It’s clearly spam with an agenda, and again, if you can’t see it, I can’t help you. Perhaps try taking some media literacy courses?
Then again, to be honest, I think you completely understand my point and this is the same age old tired bad faith bullshit.
Anyone can post with an agenda, if they want to. We all have an agenda of some kind. Just like you do, against this one person with whom you’ve taken umbrage.

Right about what? You haven’t even explained what you’re angry about, just vague hints and rage.
Pretty much the first rule of every single community on the internet that has ever existed is “no spam”.
But you’re maintaining that this account which clearly is a human and not a newsbot, isn’t wildly spamming?
Honestly, this is like the rhetorical equivalent of fighting 5-year olds. Get a fucking education man
Spamming involves posting the same link or mesaage over and over again in multiple different places. Which funnily enough, is what you’ve been doing.
So what exactly is this then :
Hmmm…?

Let me be clear:
Everything you are talking about is not an OP problem. It’s also not everyone else in this thread’s problem despite your insistence that it should be.
This is a you problem, and the easiest way to fix it is if you do what everyone else here is recommending: block them and move on.
Hey if you’re bothered, you can just block me. ;>

That’s cross-posting. They’re adding something to the community. What are you doing, exactly?

This isn’t even mental gymnastics, it’s mental parkour. You’re just jumping all over the place, ain’t ya?

The childish avoidance was quite charming the first year or two, but now it’s getting just kinda tiresome.
“Oh Russian propaganda? No but everyone has an agenda, so Russian propaganda is nothing more than than that!”
