Actually when you are looking at your own posts on the chan’s then you see (you) at the top of the posts. This tells you that it is your post. You will never see that for posts that others made.
Now in the screen captures of the posts that the FBI presented to get a warrant for 8chan then that (you) appears on several of their screen captures of offending posts. There is pretty much only one logical way that can happen.
This also tells you that this tactic is used on many forums including this one in order to cause certain outcomes. Sometimes it is to get a forum in trouble. Sometimes it is used just to “Slide” the thread and turn it into dribble that is unrelated to the unwanted topic at hand. Sometimes it just used to turn members against one another.
This is a practiced art that is being used to changed outcomes and get forum topics shut down. Only conservative topics seem to be affected.
One needs to be aware that things are not always what they seem or else one becomes completely gullible, and easy to manipulate.
Very true.
The way 4chan members tracked down Shia Lebeouf’s “he will not divide us” flag in the mountains of Tennessee by coordinating jet contrails with Flight Radar data was pure genius.
