I made two memes on LSC and afterwards I got DMs that sounded very odd (and obviously I’m not responding to these people):

This was in relation to me saying Libs and Trump have a bro relationship in regards to murdering brown people:

Hi, how are you doing? I’m going through the r/latestagecapitalism and I saw your post. I’m working on a platform called wehearit, a social platform where people can raise awareness about social issues, discuss world problems and create projects to tackle them.

On the platform, users can post about real problems in their country or community, from environmental and social issues to technological and health-related ones, and others can respond with data-driven solutions or even propose new technologies and research-backed approaches to tackle them. Each post becomes a challenge where ideas are debated, refined, and voted on for feasibility and impact. From there, nonprofits, researchers, or motivated users can turn those ideas into real, trackable projects.

We’re also introducing a unique leadership system in the near future. Every 5 months, contributors who’ve made strong scientific or technological contributions through posts, solutions, or projects are chosen to lead one of 26 key categories, such as environmental innovation, tech for health, or sustainable energy. These leaders act as guides in their field, helping others collaborate, organize projects, and push forward progress through innovation. Leadership can be passed on if someone isn’t up for the role, so it always stays in the hands of active, capable contributors.

We’re launching in a few months, and I was wondering if this is a platform you’d be interested in taking part in? I can also show you how the platform looks if you’d like. Thanks for taking your time to read it means a lot.

This person’s account says it’s 194 days old, but the overview for their account shows no posts or comments whatsoever; they have about 122 karma.

And this was in relation to me mocking the military:

Hey, I’ve been reading your posts about the US military and foreign policy. It resonates with me. I’m fighting the same fight, but on the legislative arena. I know it’s a lonely and frustrating, but keep up the good work.

I won’t post this person’s username because a part of me wonders if they’re being legit; regardless, I didn’t respond because anyone who wants to chat with me can do so publicly on reddit where people can advise me if they smell BS. (This person’s account says it’s 4 years old, it has a lot of karma, but the overview on their reddit pages shows absolutely nothing as well)

The first response in my post was from mid-March 2026, the second on October 10th 2025 (I didn’t post them in chronological order); I also just realized something and I have no idea if it’s a coincidence or not: The account that’s 194 days old? According to the AI’s calculation, that puts it at 16th of October 2025, so it was created six days after I got that other DM I mentioned. Probably nothing? Maybe someone creating multiple accounts? Literally both these people’s reddit overview shows no comments or posts.

    Are their accounts private or have they not posted at all? If you search “author:<username>” you should be able their posts regardless of them having made their account private.

      Reddit to crack down on privacy concerns for users make it easier to hide bots and ad accounts let’s users hide comment and post histories. Now on by default for new accounts.

      Not only to annoy users but also mods

      Hey, thanks, I looked up these folks’ posts and actually nothing seems odd, the 4 year old account also seems to be actively trying to rally people to get involved politically
