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!

    Some apps let you highlight new accounts. I use voyager and it will put an icon next to their username (when that feature is turned on) so you don’t have to open their profile to see they’re new. Obviously there’s new people that are legit too, but it’s a nice thing to know.

      Shit, you’re right. It’s even called „New Account Highlightenator“. That’s so cool.
