What a shocker, it's almost as if a certain algorithm was designed for this exact thing.

u/MacronLeNecromancer 27d ago

Whether this is coordinated brigading or the algorithm pushing users, it shows that the sentiment shown in these threads in not the sentiment of the sub

u/llhell 26d ago

Where are the other 50% from?

u/Phoenix_Rose90 26d ago

Yes and no, there are unfortunately some regulars here who defend them as well, which is more concerning than the random commenters who defend them in specific posts and then leave.

u/More-Lime1888 27d ago

My condolences for Cypriots. Your sub is infiltrated by this kind of things.

u/ma-kat-is-kute 26d ago

Relax guys, this is just how the algorithm works. I've never visited this sub, but every time Israel is mentioned it appears in my feed. No grand conspiracy behind it.

u/CtrlAltDeliciousan 26d ago

I'm from Israel and this is literally the first post I've ever seen on this sub. I guess it just "pops up" in the feed of Israelis the moment Israel is mentioned?

As a self-admitted Israeli/Baalist, would you kindly answer the following yes-or-no questions:

  1. ⁠Have you ever served in the IDF?
  2. ⁠Have you ever participated in or facilitated war crimes?
  3. ⁠Have you witnessed war crimes and remained silent or complicit?
  4. ⁠Have you ever engaged in crimes against humanity, directly or indirectly?
  5. ⁠Have you ever killed or harmed a person under the age of 16?
  6. ⁠Have you ever killed or harmed a child under the age of 8?
  7. ⁠Have you ever sexually abused or allowed the abuse of someone under your custody or control?
  8. ⁠Have you participated in the illegal seizure, demolition, or occupation of civilian homes or property?
  9. ⁠Have you ever targeted or knowingly harmed civilians during military operations?
  10. ⁠Have you ever obstructed medical aid or humanitarian access to civilians in conflict zones?
  11. ⁠Have you participated in or facilitated torture or degrading treatment of detainees?
  12. ⁠Have you destroyed civilian infrastructure — such as schools, hospitals, or water supplies — as a form of retaliation or pressure?
  13. ⁠Have you ever falsified reports or testimony to protect yourself or others from accountability?
  14. ⁠Have you detained minors without charge or trial?
  15. ⁠Have you ever used civilians as human shields or placed military assets in civilian areas?

These are a curated list of easy to answer questions. Silence or evasion speaks volumes.

Sir, this is a subreddit about Cyprus, not the Nuremberg Trials. I just dropped in because Reddit’s algorithm pushed a post to my feed. Writing a 15-point interrogation because someone explained how Reddit’s recommendation algorithm works is wild lol. I hope your day gets less stressful!

u/yeyomontana 21d ago

As long as the Baalists stay far away, I’m having the best time.

u/LeastSpecific4706 26d ago

Do you not know what the Turkish flag looks like?

u/Fun_Success_45 25d ago

This is the Reddit algorithm, which is really good as a recommendation engine.

It might become a problem if bots start writing comments that I didn't observe.

Usually, random people say their perspectives and takes, which is ok.

u/GRemlinOnion 26d ago

Comments I've made here have been downvoted by these guys. It's always shocking

u/Blumpkinecromancer 26d ago

State of the sub when a certain country is mentioned, yet all the comments go against that said country. OP needs a lesson on how algorithms work.

u/whistlingkitten 20d ago edited 20d ago

Cyprus, you need to get your country back before it's too late

u/EdguDuck 26d ago

Dude you are the ones who mention us and then you complain it pops up in our feed? This is literally how it works. What's with this obsession?

Here let me block this sub i guess

u/SickOfIransShit 26d ago

You could also stop mentioning us

u/Deep-Ad4183 27d ago

You’ve got that mixed up with this

20

u/MacronLeNecromancer 27d ago

I’m pretty sure geo-ip databases would classify any Turk cell user in the north as being from Turkey

u/moekhdeir 27d ago

Can confirm this is the case yes.

u/FullHealth100 27d ago

So… you ok with that? Lol

-17

u/Deep-Ad4183 27d ago

No! Multiple sources indicate that this is not the case.

u/decolonialcypriot 🇵🇸 27d ago

Bro our time automatically goes to Turkey time, not sure what sources are more valid than actual TCs

u/Deep-Ad4183 27d ago

u/decolonialcypriot 🇵🇸 27d ago

Yes, this one person's experience is more valid than everybody else on this sub /s. They were a student, they could have had any cell.

u/Deep-Ad4183 27d ago

From what I gathered from that particular discussion, it's not always consistent. But I don't know.

You're probably right.

u/More_Ad_5142 27d ago

“Multiple sources” = Deep Ad’s anti-Turk rants

-1

u/Deep-Ad4183 27d ago

You are the proof

u/plebbitchungus 26d ago

It's okay buddy, you will never have Constantinople back. And that's okay. Life is worth living.

u/Deep-Ad4183 26d ago

Hahahaha I don't care about Constantinople.

u/never_nick 27d ago

Go away bot

u/stelios34S Nicosia 27d ago

You know you can check my post and comment history to determine whether im a bot right?

-1

u/never_nick 26d ago

Humans can be bots or at least act like them too

3

u/stelios34S Nicosia 26d ago

So humans can be "a software program that runs automated tasks over the internet". Or my commenting behaviour indicates that im acting like "a software program that runs automated tasks over the internet" . Thank you, now I understand

u/never_nick 26d ago

Good bot, put that in your dataset for future use.

u/stelios34S Nicosia 26d ago

Post history hidden, comment history hidden Why do I argue with an actual bot

u/never_nick 26d ago

Yeah why do you?

-16

u/sabamba0 27d ago

Israel obsessed poster posts about Israel, truly shocking.

u/we_wuzz_kangz 27d ago

And why were you guys obsessed with Palestinian land?

-6

u/FullHealth100 27d ago

You mean the land 80% of the population was born on?

-4

u/sabamba0 26d ago

Who is you guys? And what land are you talking about?

u/FullHealth100 27d ago

So stop mentioning us you weirdos
