How many differently named alts is it normal to have? I could accept like, one or two for safety reasons (never want to connect too much info about yourself). But the known ones (Admiral Patrick, ptz, Kirk) plus all the others who feel suspiciously strongly in favor of him despite being almost entirely inactive is for sure suspicious. Like… whatcha stockpiling all those for, man??
I think by the time you hit 5 you need a long hard look in the mirror. 1 for NSFW stuff you don’t want to associate with your main is normal, 1-2 for breaking up information or other stuff. Then 1 more because I’m sure there are other reasons. But 5? What are you even doing at 5?
If you’re doing app development you tend to aquire accounts - straightforward things like testing interactions between users in different conditions means you quickly wind up with a spare heap of them. It’s why pretty much every open-source crashout like this has the same period of rooting out alt accounts and “randos” coming to defend a dev “they” like after being inactive for years.
He just can’t help himself! No matter how many times he says he’s quitting the platform, he’s back before you know it. It’s hilarious how transparent and obvious his alts are.
It’s one thing to have an alt, (I do, and I intentionally block my account and all politics/negative things to keep space, it’s more for looking at memes and making them), its another to pretend it’s not you and defend yourself.
The way he uses these alts is very Reddit-like, keeping them dormant until it is time to wake them up to sockpuppet. He has to invent false users to side with him because he’s utterly alone otherwise and he can’t handle it. Nobody else sees him for the last bastion of Lemmy sanctity and purity that he thinks he is.
An old .world account that got turned on after Patrick had his shitfit, and defends Patrick. Hmmm…
