I think so. Or a person using some automation. Their post format and topics are suspiciously similar to the other two accounts Hotznplotzn and randomname. Those two were created on the same day on two different instances. This one was created later but the post similarites are very interesting.

They would love the NLRB to be unconstitutional wouldn’t they…

Tons upon tons of spam accounts on spam instances:

And some, I assume, are real users.

Have you made an effort?

So the way to truly delete ones content is to mass edit and replace with “fuck spez”?

Testing.

E: Seems to work.

Diaspora, here, we, come!

Is System76 a non-profit by any chance?

That won’t change anything. The financial incentives from investors driving this will demand similar policies even if they get redressed in different marketing.

Great, so it’s reproducible and Lemmy-the-app related, not instance-specific. Should be fixable across the board once it’s identified and resolved.

Does this behaviour appear on other big instances? E.g. lemmy.ml?

United we stand in shitting on the Nazis.

Agreed. I’ll keep shitting on the Nazis.

But seriously, your post makes some strong assumptions with nothing to back them up. For example that depriving advertisers from impressions from a shit ton of users (due to the missing content) and therefore depriving Reddit from that revenue would hurt less than leaving those impressions but attach more garbage content to the ads. If anything, more enshittified platforms like Facebook and garbage media like Fox have proven that advertisers can live with quite a bit of shit around their ads. And so the assertion that this is some 4D chess move on the side of the Nazis doesn’t hold water for me.

The time-limited strike argument is also flimsy. Nothing stops the mod community to do this again next week for longer or even indefinitely. The time limit doesn’t guarantee Reddit that this won’t happen again and for longer. And so I don’t see how that’s less scary than indefinite strike.
