What is up with this cheese_greater person who posts non-stop everywhere?

I get that community engagement is good and all, but some of these posts and comments seem of questionable quality. Is this person a bot?

Some people latch onto social media really hard, like up to and including addiction

And if you're desperate enough for interacting with people then posting a lot can get that

They aren't a bot, they seem like someone a bit stupid who just posts literally whatever springs into their head with no inhibitions.

I've considered blocking them, but occasionally their posts on asklemmy prompt some decent discussion. I just wish they would learn to filter their thoughts a bit.

Bots aren't this weird. They seem more like an attention seeker to me, like main character syndrome or something.

Super annoying and I can’t block them because I have to see if they break rules in communities I mod.

You can still see reports for people you've blocked.

Oo really? That is great to know. I can finally start blocking some people.

You'll need to unblock the account to moderate it, but you can see the report itself even through a block

Some mods might use alt accounts as their daily due to that CVE with custom emojis early on that allowed admin accounts to get hijacked

If they're spamming posts into your communities that sounds like a rule breaking thing in general to me

Also I'm surprised that more people don't have an alt account for moderating and then use a different account for other stuff

They're not, I have never seen them post in communities I mod. Guess those communities are not of interest for them. I browse all a lot and see them in other places.

Yea! #STOPBOTHATE

You could just block them instead of making a post to bully them.

I'm not trying to be derogatory, but the person seems to be autistic. Im not a doctor or anything but the constant posting on specific topics and a few things theyve said about themselves in comments reminds me of a few autistic people i know IRL who i also have added on social media. I moderated a few larger subreddits when I used the site and had a few "regulars" with the same posting pattern

They are ND in some form for sure. But IMO that's not an excuse for having zero internet forum etiquette. Especially for someone so terminally online. I'm ND too (AuDHD) and also spend a lot of time on forums, but I've made a point to learn the social contract on these sorts of platforms so as not to annoy other users.

Etiquette is weird and plastic. Fuck it. Go au naturel and stress-free.

Why don't you ask them instead of trying to sew stochastic hatred their way?

I've blocked another account that wasn't a bot, but was just really... awkward and spammy.

I don't think I should be recognizing usernames across communities like this. It's probably a bad sign for them if I do.

I'll keep an eye out for the one you mentioned
