    We absolutely have this problem on Lemmy too. Even on Beehaw. Hell, there’s a particularly high profile user here who posted constantly and focused squarely on spoiling potential Democrat votes who utterly disappeared the moment he was told by staff to knock it off. All other engagement dropped off and I still haven’t seen him post-election.

    How many others were less prolific and didn’t shut down their activity? How many other accounts are literally just the same person?
