There was, back when I was active there. Around the time I migrated to Lemmy there was some drama and I believe that user was suspended. I don't check it frequently enough anymore to know if there's a current Picard maneuver surrogate.
He made an account on another instance and he's up to the same bullshit that got him banned in the first place, but these admins are friendly to it
Wait, did they do something bad? I thought they were just a prolific poster of memes.
This was a different person. They'd taken a username of someone popular in a number of communities on Reddit and were purporting to be that person.
Wait, I'm still confused. Is The_Picard_Maneuver impersonating a redditor, or was there a different user impersonating a Battlestar Galactica redditor?
Same here
Upon reread, I think they're referring to a similarly prolific poster, not The_Picard_Maneuver.
