There’s been a couple of minor dust-ups on mastodon about the conduct of so-called “big accounts” there that I do not care to comment on, but it has got me thinking — do we even have “big accounts” on the threadiverse (Lemmy/piefed/mbin)? I don’t think there’s any handle I’ve seen where I’ve been like “oh yeah, that person.” Am I just bad at remembering usernames, or does the community/thread style of discussion remove all continuity for a single account?
There’s a handful of posters here that I definitely recognize. I don’t know if I’d call any of them big accounts, though that may not be a bad thing.
Are they mostly people who are active in your favorite community or just people who you see around sometimes?
In my case both. Some people are 90% of the posts in the community but others are really healthy with more posters.
Reddit was like this once a decace ago. With much worse mod tools amd less transpatency.
Iteration is key for building a better platform after all!
(With all the mistakes on record from someone else XD)
Both for me too.
I create new accounts every so often, and need to block all the same assholes again.
I wouldn’t describe them as “big” accounts, they’re just prolific posters of annoying trash.
Not all of them are from .ml
