How did you know they were going to do that?

Please hurry up and delete your account, I want to test something.

We have someone who does it every day. Makes an account, posts lots and lots, then deletes their account.

Sorry for the late reply, but what do you figure they’re doing it for? Or is there a trend towards articles that push a certain agenda?
I can see that it could be problematic, and that federated link aggregation platforms like PieFed and Lemmy are currently a little vulnerable to this, especially if they become more popular – just wondering about this instance!

They did, what’s next?

I added some code to PieFed which automatically deletes posts by new accounts that self-delete. It worked so I had to use my lemmy.world account to reply.

That sounds like a fantastic contribution to the fediverse.
Sounds like suspicious behaviour. So removing and even tracking that kinda crap would be some great tooling!
Perhaps an addition would be something that notifies people that interact with the deleted post/user to let them know of the deleted accounts behaviour.
