Your first statement has merit. Your second simply adds to the problem. I’m not spouting the “when they go low blah blah blah” but …. Hell I don’t know. What is the answer to this dystopian hellscape we find ourselves in?
Since I have the time, I have attempted to explain some things on social media, it rarely works, and even if I "think" I managed to teach something, there is no way to know this.
I have been pondering this for a minute. Unfortunately, the question of whether we can use bot nets to spread actual information is probably a loss because it just doesn’t have the dopamine hit that controversy does - people love to click on outrage. But the 2nd option has potential 😏
Unfortunately, facts aren't persuasive enough. They want to be angry, we need to direct that anger to outlets where it can be productive, toward Russian oligarchs that bought our government.
Please don't do this. It will encourage them to come here. Leave them in their echo chamber for our sake's. They hate BlueSky so much because nothing and nobody engages with them here. Let's take away their online oxygen, don't give them online life support.
I wouldn't even give them that. They live for engagement. It is the oxygen to their flame. Having bots to argue with gives them something to argue against which is what they want. They are defined by their interactions with "libs". If we ignore them they'll go back under their twitter rocks.
Truthfully, the best way to annoy the hell out of them would be bots that correct every shred of misinformation. The only thing better would be if they corrected everything
*You say lightning never strikes the same place twice? Let me tell you why you're wrong, you see...
They don't believe what you say. They think they know the truth and anything you say is a lie and you are the one that's being lied to. At least that's my experience with my maga brother.

I quite like the concept 😁
*You say lightning never strikes the same place twice? Let me tell you why you're wrong, you see...
In other words: they need to see truth.
