I've told you before my reasons, if you choose not believe them, that's on you, maybe you'd like me to just make something up that fits better with your predetermined narrative?
Unintended unfortunate side effect, if I truly wanted to dodge the people blocking me or wanted to make a "spam network" why on earth would I use a widely recognizable username? If I wanted to do such things I would generate unrelated usernames and make a million accounts that way. Each account would last much much longer. This method would be the dumbest possible implementation of it lmfao
Plus, it would be a whole hell of a lot easier to just setup shop on a larger instance and call it a day, it's a lot more work to need to sub to all the comms these smaller instances are missing when I need to post to them, among other random small issues lol
All crossposts show in the crosspost section of your relevant client:
Text posts which have no link to lock onto get a username tag in the post, OC gets a username tag regardless
Huh, I would never have guessed that reasoning. Until now, I had just assumed all of these accounts were attempts from a spammer to get around bans or something.
It isn’t what you intended, but it comes off as super fishy. This is just one person’s opinion, but I had subconsciously developed a very negative view of this cm0002 army, and I wouldn’t be surprised if others have too.
If you’re going to continue to use a huge number of accounts, I would suggest at the very least adding an explanation on each profile so suspicious people like me can understand what we’re looking at and who we’re interacting with. A single comment like this on just one of dozens of accounts will be seen by very few.
Your goal of promoting smaller instances is admirable, but you may want to look at other ways of doing so. Ideally, it would be nice to just see a single account develop a good reputation and relationships within the Lemmyverse, but do what you feel you need to do.
Lol I was actually going to write a script to update all my accounts to have the same pfp, but I should get around to that faster so I can do this to!
I actually kinda did this with my .world account, doing everything through that account and a select few other accounts....but then that whole JordanLund debacle made me essentially abandon it so I figured I might as well float around on these smaller instances that never get attention lol
I agree with you regarding Lund, however you aren't floating these instances around in a positive way. A positive way would be much more organic and ideally you'd only post from one to really give it the positive energy it might deserve.
