      Yup. OP is using an alt account to evade their bans from communities who didn’t want their constant posting. User is sanitation@lemmy.today.

        I don’t know enough about using Lemmy. Is there a way to identify alt accounts? Do you have to do IP tracking or something technical like that?

          In this case they made it very clear who they were in another post when they were bitching about how nobody was grateful that they posted so much and were angry over being banned. “sanitation says hi” wasn’t very subtle.

          Always be aware of accounts made recently on instances with open signups, such as lemmy.today and sh.itjust.works. Some Lemmy apps will tell you when an account was recently made. Sometimes it’s a legitimate new user, but more often than not it’s a troll or ban evader.

            Gotcha, I misinterpreted your comment as “they’re the top contributor and won the popularity contest, lay off”

              Yeah that’s not hard to do when you post the top content of a subreddit with 70 million members.

              It kind of makes it pointless to try to post anything else though.

                So you’re unwilling to find and post your own content but then complain when other people do it because they’re not doing it the right way?

                  No I’m unwilling to fight against a sea of bullshit from bots. The exact same reason I never posted anything on Reddit. These assholes who keep reposting shit in the name of ‘keeping Lemmy alive’ are litterally what is killing it.

                    Killing it how? You’re so adamant about not posting any content yourself and don’t want anyone else posting content, so where does that leave Lemmy? An empty husk with no new posts. That’s going to kill Lemmy.

                    Furthermore this stuff was popular on reddit so why wouldn’t it be popular everywhere else? You’re acting like reddit consists of a different species of human beings with their own unique taste.

                    You’re complaining about this user posting content from reddit yet then go on to say it’s “pointless” to post anything yourself, so you’re saying youre unwilling to contribute to the solution that you seek, yet you also want to discourage others from posting unless they conform to your specific guidelines.
