Nice. They were a troll who started an account 2 months before the election and began immediately flooding lemmy with an average of 82 posts/comments each day. Just about everything they posted was encouraging people to vote third party.
After piles of complaints, the account was finally banned two weeks ago. Besides shilling for Stein, they also were a prolific sealion, knowing exactly how to piss everyone off to the greatest extent while “not breaking rules” (they absolutely broke the rule against trolling, constantly). Mods pretended this was simply a matter of a “shitty opinion” but when the outcry reached its climax, they finally banned the fuck.
It may not surprise you that the person you responded to was a hard defender of banned troll universalmonk.
I’m happy to not know who that is :-) it means my filters are working.

Ahhh. I hope they were at least paid for that kind of effort. Otherwise, that’s a sad existence.
