Another one of these new user accounts that use a very generic introduction and a profile picture from This Person Does Not Exist

stranger.social/@Graceto/11008

Should we have a conversation about those? Like I've seen a couple of those whose immediate purpose seemed to be to pretend to be non-white people to argue with other non-white people.

In general these are immediately suspicious to me. I understand not wanting to use either your own face or a default profile picture but you could just use anything else. Without disclosing it it just feels like trying to look like someone they're not.

That sounds a bit heavy handed but I think servers should have a policy that forbids this

Thoughts?

@Siph the intro post looks like it's built from a selection of generic sentences. I bet someone's creating a few hundreds of those accounts across a selection of instances just in case they can sell them one day
