3 years agoThe thing is, if you look at the accounts they named, they didn’t just link popular power posters. (For example, I was on the list and nobody on this site knows who I am because I make like one post a day).
The accounts they linked are accounts that dipped into r/antiwork in a few choice threads to clown on people talking about HB in the first place.. Like it seems like a strange amount of effort to only find accounts that followed this weird set of rules to post.
I’m not saying it’s a 0% chance it’s a bit, but I really don’t think it’s 100%.
They are
Edit: I guess my point is, if it’s a bit account there are too many weird things about it.
•They put a bunch of our accounts on blast. OK, maybe someone took a bit too far, that by itself wouldn’t be that weird. Or maybe rather it’s weird, but believable.
•Rather than choose accounts from regular posters, they select a weird subset of accounts that only participated in a few exchanges.
•Why post this bit on r/conspiracy, a reactionary subreddit? If you’re going to do this bit and you can do it anywhere, why would you choose a reactionary subreddit and not a lefty one where someone might get the joke?
Again, none of these individual pieces exclude the possibility of a bit account, but I think all these pieces together make it less likely to me.
