instead of talking generally it's probably more useful to talk about this particular case
i don't think any of what i said wrt dorian could be excused by just saying "different meta"

You make it sound like that isn't a huge difference. It is. They are coming from an entirely different perspective - town are looking for scum, and will notice people offering posts that look town, whereas scum need to try and blend into the Town, and so it might be less obvious to them because they are reading it differently. That's just one of many affects from the difference.
They do to an extent. They need to fabricate the read to make it look like a read and not a confirmation of them being town. They need to make it look like they think someone is town, not that they know.
i don't really agree with you, but i can kind of understand your reasoning which is good enough for me probably

Could that not imply him looking to blend in to what most people agreed on, while looking like he wasn't just going along with the flow (so he offered a weaker reason)?
Perhaps, but that doesn't have to make a difference.
I don't agree. Those reads allow scum to go along with the flow, but obviously doing so is scummy, so they have to look like they are looking at it through the eyes of town. The last thing they want is attention thrown onto them for bandwagonning and parroting, no?
so like, alternatively, he could just not say anything
