He generally shows most of the signs of the misinformation accounts:

  • Wants to repeatedly tell basically the same narrative and nothing else
  • Narrative is fundamentally false
  • Not interested in any kind of conversation or in learning that what he’s posting is backwards from the values he claims to profess

I also suspect that it’s not a coincidence that this is happening just as the Elon Musks of the world are ramping up attacks on Wikipedia, specially because it is a force for truth in the world that’s less corruptible than a lot of the others, and tends to fight back legally if someone tries to interfere with the free speech or safety of its editors.

Anyway, YSK. I reported him as misinformation, but who knows if that will lead to any result.

Edit: Number of people real salty that I’m talking about this: Lots

    This seems like an attempt at vote manipulation or brigading. Reddit doesn’t allow it, is it allowed here or something?

    Wikipedia is only a source for truth for people that either don’t know what it’s protecting or are in the genocidal cult it is protecting.

        The person you’re responding to has their own crazy agenda against Linux, so don’t expect a rational discussion.

          They also found time to say, “Both sides of US politics are full of shit and balance each other out to distract us from our real problems.”

          What a perfectly natural thing to say, in conjunction with suddenly hating on Wikipedia right at this particular moment.

            “Both sides of US politics are full of shit and balance each other out to distract us from our real problems.”

            If by this a person means something akin to, “No warfare except class warfare,” then I might agree. There are important differences between the Republicans and Democrats, but ultimately both take most of their funding from billionaires, and that’s at odds with what the working class needs.

            If instead it’s an excuse to be disengaged from what’s happening or to excuse voting for awful people, then no, I can’t agree.

          I mean Linux is fucking annoying or rather the users are annoying. Everytime the word windows gets mentioned there are dozens of people talking about Linux even if that has nothing to do with the topic

      Oh yeah Op was really trying to get people to go and downvote a user without even telling us who they are…

      I’m not even going to touch the insane nonsense you spouted in the second half.

        It just so happens that they picked things to accuse me of, for no reason at all, which overlap with things I could get banned for.

        Must be a coincidence.

          A single issue spam account (Linux sucks is all they post) acting dodgy?

          I can’t believe that they would ever try something so underhanded.

      Why don’t you post some of your weird Linux trolling outside your sad little echo chamber?

      Lol you will get roasted even worse than here, is the answer. Some people have the saddest lives.
