My main account is @vovchik_ilich@hexbear.net, I'm really not lying to you. But I feel honored to be compared to comrade Cowbee
Thank you for signing into your main account to reply to me.
If your ideology is valid you shouldn't have to make alts to force people to read your comments
I don't make alt accounts to force anyone to do anything. I've explained you that Hexbear is a safe space without transphobia of Zionism, and I'm glad it's mostly defederated and I'm not exposed to cognitohazard of such levels.
Again, I'm not @Cowbee_Admirer@reddthat.com. You can check @vovchik_ilich@hexbear.net's account and see that he writes in a similar style that is distinct from mine. While flattering, I'd actually appreciate if comrade vovchik_ilich didn't use my username as an alt-name, even if it isn't the same, because I don't like the idea of a cult of personality around me and because it can lead to confusion, like here.
I have 3 accounts: @Cowbee@lemmy.ml, @Cowbee@hexbear.net, and @Cowbee@lemmygrad.ml. I used to have a lemm.ee account that I abandoned before making my Lemmy.ml account, made my Hexbear alt a long while after, and a Grad account very recently. I only use Lemmy.ml when interacting with any federated instance, and scroll Grad and Hexbear locally.
All that being said, you have no evidence that I have multiple accounts, nor can you actually argue against the points being made. This is just conspiracy-theory nonsense.
Oh hey buddy, sorry, I didnt mean to stir up stuff around your username. I'll delete the account to prevent further confusion.
Thanks, comrade! No worries, it's very flattering, but this won't be the last time someone accuses you of being me making an alt.
