If someone said that shit to me, they would get a fucking ear full. Deep excoriations of our twisted and evil society and the harm it does to every human alive.

That's why I'm sad, you cunt.

And here I thought it was because you're an old one.

It's true, they would have to see me without my mask and if they do that, they are not going to be telling me to smile. They would be running to the nearest cliff to hurl themselves off as they have been driven to madness by my visage.

Hastur first appeared in Ambrose Bierce's short story "Haïta the Shepherd" (1891) as a benign god of shepherds.

Oh hush, we all saw your cute beginnings, your fluffiness.

14 minute old account spamming comics. It’ll be deleted before it sees the top of the hour, I wager.

The account has lasted 7 hours!!!

Did we figure out why do they do this?

On one hand, they're posting more content than everyone else combined, so there is that.

On the other hand, it seems very strange and it is defiantly an issue if people can spin up a bunch of accounts, post a ton of stuff (potentially illegal), delete the account and spin up another to do it again. I'm guessing it's all under a VPN and distinct emails, making an IP ban not possible.

i'm guessing it's someone from the comics reddit who got banned both there and here for significant misbehavior and who is now trying to prove that they are liked, but has not actually figured out how to interact with people.

SEE THEY LIKE MY POSTS NOW WATCH AS I DELETE THEM that's really all i can think of as motivation. like, they are not even their comics i cannot see how they get validation

Speaking of, does anyone know of a Lemmy android client that allows hiding posts from new accounts? Boost doesn't do it and it's also a bit buggy. Bonus points if available on F-Droid

iirc Voyager will show the age for less than a month old accounts, Im not sure if it also supports hiding posts from them

[–] hzl@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago

Oh no!

Anyway.

[–] Gsus4@mander.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

Ah, so that's why so many get deleted recently...

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

As if people are just supposed to stand around smiling like loons at all times for no reason

RBF affects 3 out of 5 women every day.

the best way to treat RBF is to smile more.

wait...why are you frowning? I said smile!

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

I will smile when I finished beating the person who said that.
