AnonUp is a historically noteworthy venue hosting quite remarkable conversations. Yet it is also unknown in the mainstream — necessarily so. My sense is that those who refuse to emit or interact with "poopy vibes" automatically drive away those who seek to dominate or troll. It's a "grey rock strategy" https://www.healthline.com/health/grey-rock.

I have no idea of the extent to which AU is secretly and silently protected against enemy forces, or is a training ground for AI and test centre for repulsing bots. It has some charming oddities and bugs, but lacks for nothing important. The missing scholarly investigation and reflection on its being is quite stunning, but hardly unexpected.

Perhaps what defines AU is as much what isn't here as what is. There aren't so many conversations about the day to day drama, with debates over who is good vs bad and unpicking the movie characters. Nobody sells anything here — ever — being an unspoken taboo. Relatively few share their daily life.

I've had the same thoughts, how does this place not only survive in these times but somehow stay under the radar of the information Nazis? It's like we're in some underground hideout, under Stalag 13 with Col. Hogan! My family's in tatters, once again have to roll up my sleeves to take on Mesa county over what they did to me the last election, I'm in full swing "Fuck you!" level arguing with my HOA right now! I write legal arguments all day! Stressful, as you're imagining arguing in your head to do that! Here is a "hidey-hole" from life for me. This has either got to be the best sheltered and protected last stand for no algorithm-driven manipulating commerce in social media through snooping in all your accessed information behind your back or a "really" good fucking good trap! Hoping B is not the ultimate answer in the end. But I'm hanging here with the only social media platform I haven't been kicked off of or warned on for my fearless dragon mouth! I'm Jim Traficant reincarnate!
