I strongly suspect he also uses alts to upvote his own comments and submissions, because he once mistakenly replied to my comment quoting someone else.

what?

Oh, he mistakenly replied to my comment and quoted someone else.

I pointed out it was someone else who had said that, but he didn't seem to understand and that I had literally not said that. His reply was upvoted anyway.

Basically something like this:

Me: I like apples. +0

Him: How dare you say "I like driving in my car." +10

Me: ? I think you're quoting someone else? +0

Him: No. Clearly blablabla. +10

Anyway, that's how I remember it. Please don't ask me to trawl through a hundred pages of his comments. Please. I'd rather stick a spoon up my peepee. LOL

You think it might have something to do with people agreeing with me and not with your pro israel takes? No everyone must be a bot.

Oh shit, I’d misread that and assumed it was him carrying on a conversation from an alt as in forgetting to change accounts.

But nope thats just some brain dead logic to assume someone is botting. Its like this is the users first time experiencing “reddit hivemind” voting patterns and using that as their reasoning.
