My incredibly off-topic comment justifiably saw no response, but it reminded me of one question.

Imagine you’re on a flight where somebody tried to smuggle murder hornets and they got loose. Only three people were immune and survived: you, and a basement dweller who spent thousands of hours in MS Flight Simulator including the plane model you’re on, and a real fighter pilot who has never flown a commercial plane ever. They look at you to decide who will be landing the plane. Which one do you choose?

I don’t want to be a dick, but you’re a brand new account and the only two responses you’ve gotten (within minutes of each other) are usernames I don’t recognize that were each created within a week of this website’s creation.

Does that seem weird to anyone else?

We notice the influx of new posters and we often have suspicions about new accounts.

That said, it's not conducive to actually drawing in new members if people start publicly accusing every new poster with a hot take of being a bot or a sock or a troll.

You can report suspicious accounts. But even when we're fairly sure someone is a returning alt we usually don't take action immediately if their behavior doesn't immediately throw red flags.
