[QUOTE="DarkTriad, post: 1210467, member: 3514"] These deplatforming techniques are dangerous and subtle. On Reddit, they've got a host of little techniques to just delay conservative responses for an hour or 2, and it gives the appearance that conservative viewpoints were shouted down by a vast, organic grassroots campaign or something, even when it's something commonsenseical that even Redditors support. A lot of it was done "Shadowban" style, and you don't even realize your you're being silenced, you just think nobody is on your side and that you're the minority opinion when you're not. Young people especially are very influenced by these techniques, and these techniques are still in their infancy, I have no idea how sophisticated they'll get soon. It's not a matter of "make a new moniker", you don't even know that you need to do it. until it's too late and everyone has "witnessed" wrongthink being shouted down in a humiliating way. And I'm going to give an old law enforcement story to illustrate the problems with your psych test. They used to have hand held chemical detector in my department that could determine if someone was under the influence of alcohol and by how much. It had so many knobs and switches are calibration techniques it eventually ended up being called "Dial a Drunk" because you could fiddle with the thing until you got whatever result you wanted. Unethical sergeants would actually order us to find people drunk, and it was so common they didn't even see that there was anything unethical with it, it was just another "tool in the toolbox" to them.
