I swear, every time most of the time I see someone being particularly rude, ignorant, and inappropriate on a post (usually political in origin, or they swing it to being political) I click on their profile and see it has been created that same day.

They are only there to sow discord. Only to piss people off. Idk if we can just report them (for what?) but I’d like to try exposing them before responding and interacting…

I am guilty of gobbling up the bait. I’ve started looking at profiles of people that piss me off exceptionally and noticed they’re burner bot loser accounts.

I guess i just want to say I’ve noticed it!

    Use the report button when you see those, it’s the quickest way for them to be noticed by mods and admins.

      People don’t report shit, then complain stuff goes unmoderated.

      Like, you don’t have to report every single comment a troll makes, but at least report one so a mod looks at it.

      Edit:

      Here’s a good example. An account I have blocked replied to me. If they go into a sub I moderate and start acting like a jackass, I’ll never know because I have them blocked.

      The only way I’d see it, is if someone reported it.
