Everyone says the UFO/UAP/NHI topic is targeted with misinformation and sabotage, yet few produce proof. Few have tracked the assault. Our guest today has helped manage a subreddit and has seen these attacks first hand.
On this episode of Neon Galactic, Charles aka “MantisAwakening” from the r/Experiencers subreddit joins us to talk about his encounters with the anomalous, his co-founding of the experiencer forum, and his discovery of bad actors working both sides to derail the contact conversation.
Charles describes his early childhood encounter with a giant grasshopper, a so-called mantis being, and how that kicked off a life of strange incidents, emerging psychical abilities, and related research,
The forum he helps run has become one of the most important places on the Internet for experiencers to gather, share their stories, get support, and be real. The rules prohibit debunking of any kind, so redditors can be vulnerable and tell their stories without fear of ridicule and consequence.
Charles describes how the system works and what the role of moderator actually looks like from the inside.
We also discuss the evidence he’s found for manipulations from bots and other bad actors who seem bent on fanning the flames of conflict, posting as both hard-core and abusive skeptics, and also as credulous fringe thinkers who peddle extreme stories.
By flooding the zone with radical voices, fomenting conflict, and increasing the chaos of the conversation, these influencers actively discourage casual interest from those just getting involved in the discussion.
