Why do I always have to add disclaimers on here to my posts so replyguys don’t start nitpicking and explaining things back to me?
This is purely a Mastodon problem, I’ve never seen this on other social networks.

Often fucking burner accounts.
Who creates a motherfucking burner account just to post one obnoxious reply???
Like seriously, you don’t get points for being a wiseass online.
@paninid I have as many followers here like I had on Twitter and on Twitter (pre-musk) this just wasn’t an issue
Two reasons:
1) this is a phenomenon common amongst users with more than ~3k followers, +/- 1k.
2) I think the lack of algorithm intensifies the immediacy of call-and-response behavior.
@paninid @ucblockhead A contributing factor might be that replies on here are eventually inconsistent so some replyguys might not see that other replyguys have already replied with the same asinine thing
As a reformed reply guy, I have to pick my spots 🤷🏻♂️
@paninid @thomasfuchs This comment thread feels very meta.
@thomasfuchs I mean, the archetypal Reply Guy™ was born on Twitter.
They have certain people they reply to more than others 🤷🏻♂️
@Chris presumably these people need a new account every week because everybody blocks them, so they have the account creation page bookmarked
@thomasfuchs And yet, people say creating a Mastodon account is hard!
