Respectfully - this isnât about quirky behavior.
Some of us have tracked recurring patterns across multiple burner accounts operated by the same individual: compulsive oversharing, manipulative engagement, persona resets, and a consistent orbit around attention-seeking and evasion.
TheLegendaryMan was just the latest identity. In his own farewell post, he confirmed plans to âreincarnateâ under a new name - just like he did after abandoning BitTiger. Thatâs not eccentricity. Itâs reputation laundering.
His venting personas alone displayed unhinged, antisocial behavior - from delusional rants and sexual fixation to erratic fanfics. And more disturbing content (including cartoon CP reposts and DM manipulation) has appeared on other accounts linked by forensic pattern.
The connections arenât always trivial. But those of us whoâve been in the blast radius have seen the playbook repeat.
This isnât gatekeeping. Itâs cultural hygiene.
Blindly validating anonymous personas without context doesnât grow NOSTR - it incentivizes abuse and erodes trust. If we care about reputation and sovereignty, the ledger canât reset every time someone changes npubs.
Pattern recognition isnât toxicity. Itâs the immune system of a decentralized culture.
