Interesting, I remember pinging that person once because I was going to ask about the T-Mobile sub. I can't remember the name, but they didn't visit much and it took some time to get a reply from them.
It's best to ask to re-enable these when a user does that. It may not have been maliciously intended, just an artifact of how the site works.
It may not have been maliciously intended
Yeah I was not necessarily saying this was malicious... I was saying how many subs do you know that are owned by people you trust? How many were created by SBBH? by Q followers? by incels? By feds? By SaneGoat alts?
...and all of a sudden I fear that things could blow up any moment
I know, it was more of an observation that the person in question didn't show up much, probably just deleted their account and moved on.
It's interesting tho, how many people will immediately jump on something like that and yell about how it's state-sponsored bad actors, etc. We've really become jaded these last few decades, but for good reason I guess.
I too lament how jaded we have become. While I feel that it is warranted and prudent, I also feel it is our Achilies heel. We jump at our shadows because everything could be a fed. Without mutual trust communities cannot be formed. Without communities, grass root movements cannot happen.
Gotta assume it's all malicious / intended at this point. The evil ones will find every loophole to exploit and hold it for the right time.
The person hadn't posted much of anything for a long time. I would guess it's more along the lines of what I do every year - clean up old accounts.
But when you own the subs? To me it plays into more of a subvert and wait to strike.
