Lately, I’ve recognized many posts from very new accounts here, usually younger than a day. They post a couple of news articles and are never to be seen again.
I’ve checked this communitiy’s modlog and many new accounts get banned relatively quickly. Their behaviour is eerily similar, even their profile pictures have similar styles, so it seems to be the same origin.
Out of curiosity, is there some lore I missed?
More seriously, I think we users in this community maybe should be more conscious about this and stop interacting with posts from these profiles.
Dunno if my post makes any sense, it’s just something weird I noticed and wanted to say something about.
In Germany, we used to put an ASCII art fish for trolls, because they were troll-fishing:
That was advising others not to react to them/ Maybe we should use something similar for clanker-bots ?
