Also, I question how active you really are if you don’t recognize my username because I have been very active for over a year now. Too active because I have too much time on my hands. I have maintained the same username throughout four different instances.
Not at all what I was going for, but I can see you thinking that. I think recognizing frequent posters is kind of just a basic level of awareness thing, but it’s totally fair that plenty of people might not read usernames, might not be as chronically online as I am, or otherwise have a reason that they don’t recognize frequent posters.
I just thought it was ridiculous that this person tried to discount what I had to say simply by the fact that I am currently using a relatively new account.
Anyone can make an account on a new instance with that name and claim to be the original person, so “same name, difference instance” isn’t a way to tell who someone is. When you spin up a new account, it’s a new account.
That being said, I don’t think your post history is highly questionable.
That’s true, but I have to ever encounter anyone on any platform using this particular name. Which is nice. But yeah, anyone could try to pretend to be me.

Good Lord did you read that out loud before you posted it? I mean you have to know how that sounds right?
I recognize frequent posters, so I assume others do too, but I guess not.
that’s an interesting way to say “don’t you people know who I am”
