I swear, every time most of the time I see someone being particularly rude, ignorant, and inappropriate on a post (usually political in origin, or they swing it to being political) I click on their profile and see it has been created that same day.

They are only there to sow discord. Only to piss people off. Idk if we can just report them (for what?) but I’d like to try exposing them before responding and interacting…

I am guilty of gobbling up the bait. I’ve started looking at profiles of people that piss me off exceptionally and noticed they’re burner bot loser accounts.

I guess i just want to say I’ve noticed it!

    Or Viking Hippie, or some of the other names we’ve seen everywhere. Reminds me of maxwellhill on reddit. I don’t know how someone can read that post and then come to any other conclusion than Ghislane Maxwell was maxwellhill, but when you search maxwellhill, the articles are all refuting it while not touching on many or any of the commonalities in that thread.

    Guess we’ll know when we start seeing the same few names pop up as mods for top communities.
