particularly adept near-troll on our sub has revealed he/she is also running a sockpuppet
this is a person putting out extreme views, not quite offensive but quite borderline. suggesting inhumane behaviors, then defends with "but I'm just asking the question!" ug. it's tiring. it's gone on for weeks.
the reveal happened this way: he/she has responded in very short thread to a response to a self post, reiterating in first person and defending what OP wrote. BUT the reply is using a different account that has ALSO been active (and annoying) on the sub.
is there anything people would suggest we do?

Set up AutoModerator and start shadowbanning the accounts. If they start creating a bunch of new accounts set up autoMod to remove posts by very new accounts.
