This account was created sixty-seven days ago and has made five thousand four hundred and twelve submissions to Lemmy since then.
That averages out to one every seventeen minutes and fifty seconds, twenty-four hours a day seven days a week.
Right now they have 897 posts and 2.99K comments, so that seems a bit less than your numbers. Looking at their history they seem to be human, not a bot, and they submit news stories in bursts, which isn’t as odd as if there were a constant stream of submissions. In between, they comment and discuss. I make it about 2.7 submissions or comments per hour. If they just have times each day when they binge Lemmy, that’s not in itself suspicious.
Edit: I agree now that this is a bit odd.

They have 1.69k posts and 3.75k comments.
For some reason, almost all of their activity is during non-working hours in a US time zone. They have bursts of activity in the morning, during a short window in the middle of the day that could be a lunch break, in the evening, and around the clock on weekends. We’re currently in their morning burst, and then there will be a lull, and then there will be another short intense burst around lunchtime.
It’s very unusual. What I mean by that is that posting only outside work hours is pretty normal, but the absolute firehose of activity every day during any non-work hours including lunch is abnormal. From outward appearances, it looks like a person who has a full-time job but devotes almost all of their waking hours outside that job to shitposting at full speed on Lemmy about Jill Stein.
Rule 7 on [email protected] says:
We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
OK, yes, that is a bit odd. Thanks for pointing out that the numbers on my instance would be incomplete - I hadn’t thought of that.
in OhioIf you want your vote to count, you’re going to need to vote for one of the major party candidates.
If you want to move towards a future where third-party candidates are viable, you need to support RCV, so that they can get electoral support without producing the opposite impact on the election that is intended. And then, vote for one of the major party candidates this time, ideally the one who won’t destroy the machinery of democracy which we will need in future elections to enact RCV, or elect Green Party people or Democrats.
If you wanted to mark the box for Jill Stein and accomplish nothing, you can still do that. Nothing has changed. I don’t recommend it, but it’s definitely still possible.
Yesterday, I happily voted third party and dropped off my ballot. And I support RCV. People can do both. Thank you! :)
Congrats on helping Trump (if you are in a swing state) or wasting your vote!
I didn’t vote for Trump. Thanks! :)
That’s not what I said.
By your logic, anyone who votes for anyone is “helping” someone else.
If I truly wanted to help Trump, I would have voted for him—not a third-party candidate. So no, I didn’t help Trump. I also didn’t help Harris–and that’s your main point.
And I’m proud I didn’t help Harris. Because I didn’t want to vote for her. Thank you! :)
I didn’t especially “want” to brush my teeth last night, but I did anyway. Because I know that the alternative is opening up the door to things I don’t want, even more than I don’t want to brush my teeth.
If someone woke up and said, I’m proud I didn’t brush my teeth, because I didn’t want to, I would have trouble looking at them as a source of wisdom about how to accomplish the goals they’re trying to pursue.
Cute analogy, But that doesn’t apply to voting because voting isn’t a routine obligation—it’s an opportunity to choose what you believe in.
Just like choosing not to brush your teeth doesn’t change the necessity of dental hygiene, choosing to vote third party isn’t ignoring reality, it’s actively rejecting a system that fails to represent true change. Thanks! :)
Like I said, definitely still possible. It is certainly an action that you can take.
“OP has stated that they have no issues with a Trump victory and constantly floods the feed with pro Trump propaganda. They will only engage in bad faith and refuse to take responsibility for the things they post. The people controlling this account are here solely for political purposes and have no interest in anything other than harming this community.”
Keep that in mind. I didn’t write this, just posting what someone else wrote. Thanks!
I didn’t vote for Trump. And I don’t care if he wins. I didn’t vote for Harris. And I don’t care if she wins.
I don’t like either one of them.
My post history is public, so not sure why you think that’s some big “gotcha” moment. In fact, here’s the direct link to my post history: https://lemmy.world/u/UniversalMonk?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts
Thank you! :)
Take it up with the authors of the comment. Clearly people agree with them. I just post what I find interesting.
