Yeah, for sure. This is a new development, but their pattern shows that they will be using all Lemmy instances they can for this. This started on Lemmy.world, for example.
Still, separately from the breaking of ToS, I just wanted to get a better understanding of why someone would even spend that much time creating burner accounts. It seems far more effort than it's worth for any possible privacy benefits, unless I'm missing something. That's why I'm asking here.
Idk. The last accounts I suspect to be that person are:
I don't see the point. We could go some more through the comicstrips community and the modlog and puzzle the pieces back together... But I really don't see what kind of privacy this offers. I mean this strange behaviour kind if draws more attention, not less... Maybe they'd like to chime in to tell us.
Could also be a person with behavioural pecularities, or they're high on drugs.
Seems the Admin took some action over at the community and banned them for: sockpuppet account, disposable email, vote manipulation, ban evasion
If anything, this leads to more control, more tracking to enforce bans and less privacy for everyone. And adds toxicity. So my final verdict is: No. This takes away privacy.
