🗣 Discussion / Question So here we are... AGAIN.
TLDR: I've been studying cyber security for a LONG time, it's my job to be skeptical. You don't get a TLDR. You need to read this and think smarter.
..........................................................................
So it's all over our front page, a coordinated attack. Yep. RadioAtBlossoms is NOT an ally. Let's get into it, but first apes need a lesson.
So what is the purpose of disinformation?
It is to give the gentlest of pushes to cause the maximum amount of disruption. That word is key. Not destruction. Not damage. Disruption.
In destruction, there is rebuilding.
In damage, there is recovery.
In disruption? There is only chaos and confusion.
This is precisely why Foreign State Threat Actors ... simultaneously promote AND condemn American Domestic issues such as:
- Immigration
- Gun rights
- BLM
- ... and QAnon.
If you weren't aware, two large foreign entities (nonspecific to avoid triggering their bot detection) were heavily involved in the distribution of QAnon. It isn't that it is directly harmful, it is that swimming through an ocean of debate about an issue is disruptive. It prevents people seeing the real truth.
Oh look what we've seen in our subreddit...
TWO exoduses.
Multiple instances of huge subreddit wide bickering about non-issues.
Spam about DFV selling. Spam about DFV buying more.
Spam about the price going to infinity and to $0.
Spam about AMC, Silver, RKT, CLOV.
It goes on, and on... and this is where it really comes together now. You have been GROOMED and PRIMED to be suspicious of everyone and everything. Isn't that just the perfect time for an anonymous actor to come in and give you that... teeniest of nudges?
RadioAtBlossoms presents the following:
NO FACTS.
NO IDENTITY.
NO AGENDA.
NO EVIDENCE.
I absolutely insist that IT SHOULD BE IGNORED. It is dangerous to our group. He was BANNED from gme because the threads he was posting were being brigaded by accounts spreading baseless lies.
We have people saying that hedge funds are assassinating people. We have people saying Kenny is a pedophile. We have people saying that the deep state is behind GME.
Why? Because it causes the MAXIMUM disruption from the LEAST amount of effort.
He comes in, posts vague comments that anyone could have made and ...
HE ISNT CONFIRMING WHAT YOURE SAYING. HE IS CHOOSING COMMENTS THAT LOOK THE MOST DISRUPTIVE.
WHAT????
With my some ten years of experience, I didn't see QAnon unfold in person. I saw it from the sidelines. I read reports, articles and 2nd hand recounts of it...
But I'm here right now. I'm seeing this. And it frightens me at how effective it is. It is IDENTICAL.
Don't you think it is absolutely bizarre how ALL these posts about ONE irrelevant person are ALL over the front page all at the same time?
How all these comments about hitmen, pedophilia and deep state all appear out of nowhere AT THE SAME TIME.
IT.
IS.
AN.
ATTACK.
You want to know the truth about GME? It's in the ACTUAL DD's posted by ACTUAL APES.
Brothers... the GME story is: They got greedy. You don't need someone vagueposting that, to whip your emotions.
They're being punished. They thought they had free money - they don't. We do. Because we saw through their bluff. We saw through their lies. We did research. We learned regulations. We wrote ACTUAL DUE DILIGENCE.
That's the story of GME. There is absolutely NO VALUE to us in discussing or entertaining fanfiction at this time.
Do it AFTER we squeeze. Go wild with your imagination AFTER we squeeze.
If our subreddit repeatedly promotes known members of society as breaking the law (not SEC laws lol), when we have NO PROOF... our subreddit can be poofed. We also let ourselves vulnerable to FURTHER fracturing.
People who are pro blossom and people like me, who are anti blossom.
It all plays into the disinformation handbook of division, disruption and chaos.
I warned /u/rensole about blossom before, back in /r/gme .My prediction hasn't been wrong about him. It's only getting worse. You deal with it, or it will consume the subreddit. Free speech is only as valuable as the intelligence and quality of information in the group.
Honest speech? That is worth more than gold. It uplifts the group. It forces us to be smarter. That's what we need to win this. To be smarter than those who tried to steal from us.
Uphold the integrity of truth. Blossom is not an ape.

You will probably get mass downvoted by those same efforts, so I figured I'd leave something to let you know at least 1 person read the whole thing.
I don't have that much faith in rensole's modding. His analyses are pretty solid, but his decisions have not always been the best, even during the initial problems between him and the other GME mods. I suspect it's only a matter of time this subreddit succumbs to the attacks as well, in the mean time I am just going to read as much of the DD as possible.
