>Is there something wrong with making a new account to make a discussion post about a video? If the video is from a platform whose algorithm thrives on controversy, is presented in a context of controversy, on a new account, it's at least suspicious here on the lemmyverse. So you've been thinking about joining the fediverse but it was *this* video you wanted to share with us that finally made you pull the trigger? It's a sequence of events I find inherently sus. >Is this not a forum website? Yes, it is. And as such it is sometimes abused by people with ulterior motives. >This is ridiculous behavior. That is both your prerogative to think so and a matter of opinion. > I've been respectful and open to every single person I've responded to. I am not creating drama or name calling. Your eagerness to engage virtually any comment on this niche subject is what I find suspicious. It's the eagerness you also see by people who abuse Lemmy for rage bait. >If there's drama being created on this post, it's because people can't stand Mutahar. And I agree with them! But as someone who refuses to be an ideologue living in an echo chamber, I watch content from sources I don't agree with too, and I discuss it. I don't get what problem you have with this. I don't know who that is and don't care enough to find out. I refer you to my criticism of the source of the video. My suspicion, which I have to say your comments have not diminished, is that you created this account and this persona to generate more views to feed the algorithm on YouTube and not because you wanted to have a serious discussion about the subject.
