I don’t mean this in a rude way. Feels like the past week or so has had some bizarre questions asked.

    Everyone’s saying bots but I think some of it is human-generated ragebait. Like that person who posted twice like “why did my friend block me” with screenshots of them devolving into crytyping as they tell said friend how stupid they are for being autistic.

    (I took that bait, don’t judge, it was cathartic 😔)

    As for why, I couldn’t tell you. Maybe they’re not getting enough engagement on Reddit anymore or maybe it’s not fun because Reddit already hates autistic people and will side with them. Who knows.

      What’s crytyping, I’ve never heard that word before 😅

      I would sure hate to be that person, assuming it’s not an alt or someone who’s in on the bait (like their sibling pretending to be the other person)

      Oh yeah, that person was banned from my instance 😂

      I genuinely can’t tell if that was a bot, a troll, or an emotionally unstable person.

      From what I remembered, recent account, no profile picture, barely commented.
