@polymerwitch if this is the account I saw then it's actually just a thing that auto-posts the RSS feed of "Political Notes" off his website

@wxcafe @polymerwitch You can block an entire instance?

Or is that a instance admin "not federating" thing?

@XavierJulep I don't want to link it on toot.cat, but here is an image of it. That should be enough to track down his account. toot.cat/media/-SY2NTzzHdfY-B6

@polymerwitch im pretty sure he's been on gnu social since its existed since it *is* gnu social

@polymerwitch I thought it was a bot, what with the "vague text + shortened link" pattern. Didn't even click until I saw this.

Ah.

Yep.

Won't be clicking again.

@polymerwitch At least he doesn't actually use it. It's just an account that mirrors his posts from his own blog

@polymerwitch never heard of RMS being on any social network ... is it really him or is it just another bot based on the stallman.org RSS feed ?

@polymerwitch I mean, gnu* is bound to have RMS with all his problems...

@polymerwitch haha, I saw him on there and having never read anything before thought "Oh interesting, it will be neat to hear from one of the old hat free software people" and then it was "Oh no, he's crazy as hell"
