The funny thing is, they never seem to deny being a sock puppet when called out on it. I suppose because they don't want an actual discussion where more people actually go look and see what's obvious once you check.

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 months ago

Which leaves one wondering why this dozen or so communities tolerate them.

Add this one to the list - tardigrade@scribe.disroot.org. Seems to be recent and active.

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

Hmm, could be.

One of them—the one that often writes in German, seems to be used as a “reply guy” account that seldom posts, unlike the others.

The other one seems to fit the normal pattern, except that they comment almost as often as they post.
