Context: PugJesus often spams low quality posts across the dozen or so communities they mod, apparently downvoting low effort spam on my frontpage is trolling. The only other action in the modlog is a different ban for 74 years for “Mass downvoting innocuous content,” so it definitely seems they are just banning people that dislike their spam. Glad we’re not missing out on the reddit mod experience here.
you are right, i don’t think that’s op’s case though. do you think these accounts you describe might be just bots instead?
Some of them did interact on the fediverse (although not on television). The ones with no posting/comment activity? No idea.
The point is that people really do behave like this.
