      /ˈ𝘴ɑː𝘬 ˌ𝘱ʌ𝘱.ɪ.𝘵𝘳𝘪/

      (n.) An online identity created, and used, for purposes of deception. A sockpuppet purports to be an independent party that supports, approves of, or agrees with some agent (a person, organization, agency, or state), but is in fact created and controlled by that agent, and has no independent existence. Common uses of sockpuppets include plausibly deniable hacking or information operations, provocation, and astroturfing (creation of the illusion of grassroots support).

      I’m in active community member in the GrapheneOS community. I go by the same name there as I’m using here. It became clear from the community chat that a lot of misinformation and lies are spread about GrapheneOS on social media. I’m passionate about the project, which I rely upon everyday so I want to do my part in helping to correct any misinformation out there. You can’t argue with the fact that the post that has been made is a complete lie. The title is a complete falsehood. They were not a contributor, nor are they banned from using GrapheneOS. The reason I’m active in multiple communities on Lemmy about this is because the OP has decided to spread his blogpost on multiple Lemmy instances, mtuliple subreddits, Mastodon, Linkedin, … If they spread in in multiple channels, users and community members who want to discuss GrapheneOS online will also show up in multiple channels to discuss it. I would prefer to only have to reply to one post, they decided to make 12 posts on Lemmy (if I counted correctly). And yes, I made my account yesterday. Am I not allowed? Do I have to wait 2 years and engage in random discussions not related to my interests before I join the threads about topics that I’m passionate about?

          You just look like an idiot right now because he’s not a sock puppet. Just look in any online chat room associated with GrapheneOS, Tranquil has an extremely well established identity.

          I’ve even seen him myself helping people in the community for years now & Tranquil is very active. But okay, enjoy being a gullible pawn following whatever maltfield says.
