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!

    Here’s a good example. An account I have blocked replied to me. If they go into a sub I moderate and start acting like a jackass, I’ll never know because I have them blocked.

    This is part of why I think individuals blocking accounts is a bad idea. Sure, it stops them from harassing you directly, but it doesn’t stop them from continuing to harm you by (for example) writing libelous comments for everyone else to see, that you then don’t rebut because you don’t know about them.

      I don’t care about that.

      They can yell into the void till their throat is sore.

      It’s just because I don’t want to engage with them, I also don’t see comments they make in a sub I mod either.

      Unless someone reports it
