This is when I realized it was all in bad faith and I stopped giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Maybe some kind of rate limiting would work for cases like this. Anyway, i doubt we'll see that one again after the 15 days are up. At least for the next four years.
If they don't reappear then I think there is a legitimate argument that it was a coordinated propaganda account.
If they do come back with the same level of veracity then I think there is merit to the potential mental illness, or neurodivergence argument.
I'll bet they have an alt account up and running already in either case.
Oh I bet there'll be posts regarding election integrity starting 11/6.
Yeah, reddit had something like that baked in, I'm not sure how lemmy could implement it.
"You are doing that too much, try again later."
It seemed to be tied to both the age of the account and the karma of the account. It varies from subreddit to subreddit.
There also seemed to be a difference if you were subscribed to the community or not.
But then we're comparing something relatively new (lemmy) to an established platform with over a decade of development too.
You gotta know they’re absolutely loving this shit right now. An entire post dedicated only to them? Where they are the topic of discussion? That’s probably the biggest badge of honor someone like them could earn here.
I’d wager it’s bookmarked and will be read several times a day for months to come.
Good, thank you for addressing this! I think the temporary ban is a perfect solution. I only care about this because of how close we are to the election, and this solves that problem.
The Dark Monk is going to write some erotic friend fiction about you, jordanlund.
I approve of this action and appreciate the transparency. Thank you for doing something about this individual.
Another perfect example of the dude being completely a not-troll and just innocently neurodivergent in these comments:

...right @jordanlund@lemmy.world ?
They clearly make all these weird communities so they can not answer to any mods and they can control the narrative.
They are making Lemmy worse. They are violating rules 4. The mods can deny it all they want, but if you read this very thread, it's clearly not just me saying it and it's not just their shitty opinion we don't like.
They are looking to stir shit and maybe influence an election, and 99% of the time gotten away with it Scot free. We cannot handwave away the fact that they've spent around 2 hours a day just writing posts. That means something. And it means something that practically everyone hates what they're doing. And the stats I've been posting speak volumes.
Man, if it wasn't for the antagonistic shit riddled throughout that post I'd engage and cheer him on. And the way he talks about his girlfriend in that post is a little worrisome. He's doing that same antagonistic shit when talking about her.
He's so clearly got main character syndrome and believes the world is out to get him. If he took the time to be self reflective in his personal interactions as much as he did about his physical health he might be a person I could actually engage with.
Yeah, if I didn't think they were fucking up the whole ecosystem and showing other potential trolls they can too, I'd just block them and move on.
