Anyone else the majority of the toxic "all I do is argue" comments are made by really old accounts?

Ive taken a stance of just blocking useless people on reddit instead of engaging, just to try and keep my sanity..... and prevent my accounts from getting banned. Because I do have a habit of feeding the trolls.

This is mostly the people that just interject themselves into a thread to do personal attacks and just shit on well thought out conversation.

So Ive been clicking on a lot of profiles to hit "block user" more than I ever have. And Ive noticed about 80% are 5+ year old accounts. Many are 8 year old accounts. I just blocked a 10 year old account. Ill look through their comments and its just full of shitty one-loner comments and condescending emojis.

I find it weird because Ive had accounts banned for the most innocent confrontations. Even just being rude. And I cant image people habitually doing this are able to keep an account for that long.

The "English-Only" rule on Reddit is outdated and exclusionary. It’s time we talk about it. (La regla de "Solo Inglés" en Reddit es anticuada y excluyente. Es hora de que hablemos de esto.)
