What do they get out of this though? Not like they are making accounts have a good reputation then selling them. And the items they are posting are similar to what other normal posters post, so it’s not like they are getting away with something.
There should be a limit to new accounts posting, like reddit has in many subs. I have no problem with new ppl commenting, but when I see accounts like OP, or others where they have a hundred post with zero comments in a few days, I get annoyed. At least there should be an option for me to autohide posts from accounts newer than X days somewhere in the settings.
Like the others mentioned b4 me. Don’t confuse newfolks for astrospam.
Piefed mitigated this malicious behavior, lemmy hasn’t.
