Last month a "Velma" kept following me around Lemmy using their alts to harass and downvote me, then they popped back up the other day to tell me that the decades of Weinstein rapes were the same as non-physical sexual assault and consensual sex, which is crazy.

Anyone elae have weirdos or creeps following them around?

Looks like Velma's getting upset:

Or maybe this DM is not ftom another Velma alt and a random user is suddenly very upset at me personally for no stated reason. What a coincidence!

I was mostly bothered by the reposts that included an [OC] tag when it clearly wasn't. Also it was really funny how they simultaneous claimed not to be a bot but also described in detail how their repost script worked ... it was quite entertaining.

I don't know why people who run content mill bots think they are providing value.

I think I know what account you're talking about. I think their justification was they also use that account as a person so their script is an "automation tool" instead of a not.
