Lately, I’ve recognized many posts from very new accounts here, usually younger than a day. They post a couple of news articles and are never to be seen again.
I’ve checked this communitiy’s modlog and many new accounts get banned relatively quickly. Their behaviour is eerily similar, even their profile pictures have similar styles, so it seems to be the same origin.
Out of curiosity, is there some lore I missed?
More seriously, I think we users in this community maybe should be more conscious about this and stop interacting with posts from these profiles.
Dunno if my post makes any sense, it’s just something weird I noticed and wanted to say something about.
We are trying to figure out a solution that wont negatively affect genuine users. Issue is that due to certain limitations at the moment finding a solution is difficult. So all we can do is what we have done so far: ban suspicious new accounts that only spam posts into news communities without interaction.
