Nothing you say is true

You are fine with people disagreeing because making people mad makes you giddy. I’ve suggested therapy and I still do.

No, you are the one making people mad. And since it’s a fuck ton of people, you’re probably the problem. But I know realizing that would take an ounce of self reflection, which you don’t have.

They’ve done that to me too. They accuse me of stalking them sometimes too, seeming excited to do so, so I feel like they do that to a lot of people but it’s hard to keep track of who is who for them

Yeah, there are several ways I think they are violating rules. Copy pasting long walls of text should be an open and shut case of spam, for one.

You might be right that this is all their motivation is, but the timing and singular topic of interest is far too suspicious for me to ignore. I mean they definitely take pleasure in being a deranged hall monitor, though, don’t get me wrong.

As for accusing them of being a troll… We are simply discussing a hypothetical user. No one has mentioned any username. No rules broken here! </HallMonitorVoice>

Yeah I definitely think you are onto something. The audience is much smaller but the advantage is that a lot of people here really are so left they despise Democrats and would probably be easier to convince not to vote than your typical Democratic voter. Trolling campaigns here would have a much more concentrated target audience. They already know they don’t need to convince conservatives on mainstream social media.

Lol they just banned me from their super legitimate “socialism” community because they wanted to keep tabs on me but not be countered in public as much.

Yeah I agree with all of this. I do think it’s a shame though that the rules are all they will go on. There ought to be some algorithm for determining likelihood of trolling. This dude would definitely be way over the threshold of any such algorithm that was worth a damn.

Yeah. I mean, them posting every 20 minutes starting 3 months before the election thing, despite getting constant pushback, makes me feel quite justified in my conclusion. Normal people just simply would never do what they’re doing. Their motivation could be something else. But whatever it is, the behavior is very unhealthy and suspect.

Lol I love it. It’s almost a badge of honor to be blocked by that user. They seem to want to be aware of people countering their troll campaign so they can bait those people into saying something that will get them banned. So you really must have upset them to get blocked.

I did the math last night. On average they’ve posted or commented about every twenty minutes, assuming they sleep 8 hours a day, since they created their account a month ago. Posting at this rate, almost entirely in favor of third parties. Hmmm… I wonder why. They don’t give a shit about third parties; only about keeping Democrats from getting votes.

You’re being too generous by thinking they give two shits about third parties. That’s just the angle they’ve chosen for Lemmy.

Probably just because you are bErZeRk

Your only principle is “if I have to do something, I’ll do it, I guess”.

I don’t have to explain anything to you

Again, no one said you had to. But you would, if there weren’t something insidious behind this bizarre behavior.

You apparently are pretty confused. “you have to” and “you would” are extremely different phrases, and I never once implied they were similar. Only that you wouldn’t need to pretend “the articles are interesting” is your motivation, in a context which implicates you as sketch af, if you weren’t sketch af.

You’d simply explain it and avoid thousands of replies telling you how horrible you are. I guess it’s possible you’re a masochist who likes being insulted, but I think the other explanation is much more likely ;)

But the fact is that if there were a legit reason, you would.

Of course. You would only explain why you post three times per hour

• in favor of third party candidates
• suddenly, starting 3 months before the election
• increasing in frequency after the debate
• despite the massive amount of critical comments you get

If the explanation would not get you permabanned.

If it took only 10 seconds to post each time, and 20 seconds to make a comment, that means you have spent:

(198 * 10) + (1240 * 20) = 26780 seconds

Or, 7.44 hours, in one month. That’s almost 5% the amount of time people spend working full time. Almost a full work day. And these are extremely generous estimates that assume you are very fast. I have no doubt you have spent minutes responding to some of the comments calling you out.

A more realistic set of numbers would be

(198 * 30) + (1240 * 45) = 61740 seconds

Or, 17.15 hours, in one month. That’s almost 43% the amount of time people spend working full time. Over 2 full work days.

To calculate the number of times you submitted content per waking hour:

(198 + 1240) / (16 * 30) = 3

Or once every 20 minutes on average, assuming you sleep. Almost every single one promoting third party candidates. Totally and completely not sus, at all. Not even a little bit.
