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!

Also worth pointing out that the best way of reading this thread is looking at all of the removed comments in the modlog. Lol.

Is this something publicly accessible or do you need to be a mod or host an instance?

Just go to the instance website and there will be a link to the modlog usually at the bottom of the page.
