Replying to @Outsideness
The right of center tweets are getting too many likes. Even on lefty posts if you scroll, the left replies in agreement get no likes but if you get to the bottom, that’s where the banned but popular right wing takes are. Plenty of likes down there.

4chan is the home of anonymous shitposters with no "like" feature or content voting of any kind like Reddit. To defeat the 4chan, we must become the 4chan.

But one system of manipulation (strategic "likes" and "upvoting") gets replaced by another. Forum sliding (which Twitter already does with trending hashtags) replaces it. And I suspect they believe their bluecheka are the nuclei of conversations they can successfully drive.

To defeat that, we simply stop interacting with them altogether (we already rarely do). Not only do they not get any more likes or retweets, but they also lose the appearance of authority when their only respondents are NPCs parroting what the bluecheka believe.

I am highly amused by this move. The bluecheka *thrive* on egoism and vanity. How is Cher going to handle appearing to be screaming into the void and getting no validation? How are journos going to jockey for artificial status? Please do this, Jack.

In surprise development, Bluecheka third-column queries the necessity of Full-Jonestown option.
