If JD Vance becomes President, she will likely join the US Government. Remember that name. Katherine Boyle.

    After being permabanned myself without prior warning (and fully agreeing my behaviour deserved a warning or even a tempban – I’m not perfect), I’m beginning to understand people who create new accounts.

    And it’s interesting that people are now by default suspecting new accounts to be permaban dodging accounts, vs a genuine new person.

      I think you should always be skeptical of fresh accounts. Many sub reddits would require a certain amount of history before posting.

      This specific account always posts 5-6 articles usually with a name that is a bunch of letters and then a number and then deletes his account. It was really annoying before Rimu put some code in to keep blocks for deleted accounts because it used to be you’d block this asshole then he’d delete his account and his posts would show in the feed but as [deleted]@server.com.

      The other comment said “self-deleting”

      For the past short while, one person has been creating and deleting accounts repeatedly. It hurts discussion because the threads keep disappearing. It’s harmful behavior that deserves to be called out
