Comment on I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior.

proof that it is high time that an instance needs the ability to straight up perma ban a username

This wouldn’t solve the problem. They’d just roll in with cm0003. You need an IP ban or some similar source specific censorship. Even then, it’s a moving target when the end user is determined enough.

CG NAT and VPNs want to have a word with you.

    This doesn't need much determination. And especially with CG NAT you would IP ban not only one person, but a whole block or even district of persons.

    Most trolls don’t even know what those are, though. In my experience, making an account somewhere else is more effort than 99.9% put in already.

Yep, there’s at least two different people who are playing this sockpuppet game already. One went by, among other names, lucky8 and would only post think-tank political articles across dozens of communities - an actual propaganda account. Another appears to just repost reddit content onto Lemmy, they had a name similar to darnelle until they started picking other names.

These accounts stand out a lot more whenever you take a look at a specific-purpose instance like a country or subculture instance, rather than a large general-purpose instance like yours or mine. A lot of people complain because these sockpuppets flood an instance with propaganda or just off-topic junk.
