Well, im probably living in really "dirty" corners of internet, as i see constant stream of "Burn all 5G towers because they cause corona" in all "Eco" "spiritual" "nature" facebook groups. Im not saying anything about 5G safety here, just saying that this "5G + corona" conspiracy is really getting traction.
- s9w 7y agoFair enough, I don't know what's on FB etc. I meant more like conspiracy subreddits, 4chan and so on.
- Jonnax 7y ago4 Chan and Reddit aren't the real world. Internet users put way too much stock in their societal impact. Facebook and group messaging apps are how a lot of people communicate.
- s9w 7y agoRight! But I specifically wrote dirty corners, which fits well for those sites and less for FB.
- pjc50 7y agoBut there's no hard boundary. 4Chan is the viral breeding ground, occasionally some particularly well-developed memetic pathogen is weaponised onto Facebook or Whatsapp where it spreads among a non-immune population.
- im3w1l 7y agoAre the posters real people or bots, as far as you can tell?
- vincnetas 7y agoMost posters look like real people. But real like people from troll factories. They comment in natural language (my native), respond to questions, but you can tell that their profiles are specific for that single purpose. Profile names look like read but most likely are not (John Smith for EN equivalent). They have no real posting history, etc...
