It was no surprise that a lot of fake accounts would be made for the sole purpose of trolling or making other disruptive comments.
With the way other subreddits ban people these days, I'm not sure why this even made headlines. There are a bunch of subs that will automatically ban you just for making in a comment in other subs that they have deemed off limits. It's gotten kind of silly.
- wmil 10y agoSome of the other subs auto ban any user who posts in /r/the_donald, so even trolling under your own account is a risk.
- jrnichols 10y agoThis is also true, and I've found it to be kind of annoying. /the_donald was popping up on /all quite frequently, and I found myself banned from other subreddits for correcting misinformation that was posted. For the most part, they were subreddits that I would not have normally posted in or read anyway, but it still seemed a little silly for them to do such a thing.
