Not gonna hold my breath that this isn’t a self deleting spam account.
^(Disclaimer: not disagreeing with the content of the post, just that these accounts have been running rampant on this and other communities)
I hate that OPs get to control conversations on posts by essentially being able to delete what everyone said when they take the post down. I’ve been in the middle of conversations before and the post just vanishes, essentially cutting everyone off.
At least on reddit the comments didn’t go anywhere if the OP link got deleted
1000% I stopped contributing complex comments awhile ago due to this, don’t plan to resume again until it’s fix/goes away
I’ve never heard of this person before and now this is the second Lemmy post I have seen on the front page of my all feed in the past 10 minutes, the other one being posted by an account that is 13 hours old.
The fuck is going on and why is this lady being targetted by someone?

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.

Kind of. It’s certainly difficult to deal with this.

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
