Yeah, it doesn’t seem like there is enough to report, but I hoped maybe I was missing something. It’s not good enough propaganda to influence people aware of it, but it is probably good enough to pick off some easily-misled voters, help radicalize and sow division for others, and avoid obvious rule-breaking.
It might be helped by ChatGPT or another AI LM. It certainly matches an LM’s slightly over-wordy structure, responding to some parts with clearly human direct response, and others in ways just barely responsive but never failing to hit bullets pushing counterproductive voting. Would be nice if OpenAI released their ChatGPT detection tool they’ve been sitting on.
I appreciate the link and suggestion - I hate copy-pasting things, but it may be appropriate here.
Yeah it seems the general idea is pushing the overall message that third-party voting is a valid decision if you’re feeling disillusioned and disenfranchised - something that could easily sway low information voters (however many of them exist on here).
Be careful about accusing them of things though, as they have proved consistent on reporting others over accusations or even the slightest breach of the “civility” rule. I don’t really think “might be using ChatGPT” is a bannable accusation but you never know. I did notice when arguing with them yesterday that this shift between two different writing styles was noticeable.
I think a copypasta PSA is the least effort type of countermeasure available, sadly.

Oh, for sure. Yes, agreed, weaponizing reporting/banning is a problem, not a solution. I hope the mods catch on if anyone starts trying to misuse it.
