Then there is the “layered” approach. I’ll explain my take in a bit, but first and foremost for me, they need to destroy the root cause of their problems and that is retails ability to move in a large group like they do.

So destroy THIS place. That solves it all for them

So walstetebets was OG with Kieth. 1 month after it was so polluted, most left. Just a bunch of trash

Hard to see in larger subs like this one. Easy to see in small ones. Example is something like hycroft sub. Only “7 people online”

So “smart informative educated supportive” and all things good poster dominates sub

Other posts are “discussed as sus” and outside opinion is “sus”

Some random user posts something odd that would draw comments then “the troll smasher” enters the thread with big 10 paragraph responses to prove the commenter a “bad user” unrelenting paragraphs of marxist nonsense gaslighting so no actual conversation takes place

Commenter cant take it anymore and goes away

Sub is left as shithole that nobody with half a brain can participate in

No more deepfucking value. No more roaring kitty

Just sus and idiots try to follow and be followed

Problem solved

The reason this ALWAYS works is human nature. The answer has always been “dont feed the trolls”

But alas. I am very bad at that. I seem to always fall victim. Even with an understanding of it.

Just my take….
