People keep asking if I’m a troll using a burner account or talking about “the last time” I posted on a different account.

I just created this account recently and have zero idea what these people are talking about. I also don’t want to get banned for something I didn’t do just because people assume it was me.

Did this troll ask for advice a lot? Were they rude to people on here?

    Mostly normal-ish stuff. They just go way overboard on “don’t track/profile me” to an obscenely obnoxious degree.

    If you go to https://lemmy.world/c/comicstrips and click on half of the usernames that have posted there, you’ll get an error because it’s that person creating a massive number of burner accounts, making a post, and deleting the account.

    For the AskLemmy/No Stupid Questions/and other communities, I can’t say with 100% certainty it’s the same person, but the profile fits.

    It’s somewhat normalized to use a secondary account if you wanna ask something dumb and not have it associated with your main account, but most people don’t delete the account immediately afterward and check in with a new alt soon after, so I’m wanting to say it’s the same person.
