    what a weird opportunity for someone to burn a throwaway account. not even gonna dig into what you’ve imagined the other guy is right about, given he didn’t post any information of value

      Lemmy is starting to have a huge problem with people creating multiple sockpuppets–probably programmatically generating them, in fact–just to win internet arguments. If this goes on too long you’re going to see a really surprising number of sudden downvotes on everything you’ve said in this conversation, and anyone who agreed with you.

        It’ll actually be good if that happens because 1) it could be dealt with here, 2) that could be used to feed something that helps defend against it

        (e: I mean, it’ll be a nuisance, and @self would be driven to drink, but it could still be handled)

        I truly wish those so inclined good luck with the downvotes and with coordinating their sockpuppets in a way that isn’t extremely fucking obvious

        you need to work on your reading comprehension skills, they’re letting you down on your left-field brigading
