Drama in Schenectady subreddit as the only two people that care about the library find eachother

You know when someone reaches this level of investigation / accusation that it's going to be a productive discussion:

Re: Gaslighting and ridiculousness

The first comment No-Object165 ever made was on a post by Ok_Clue3315, an account that was suspended for violating the reddit terms of service. Let's call it coincidence that it was a post about the Schenectady Public Library.  Ok_Clue's profile description before getting nuked by the mods was "Get Informed." If that sounds familiar, it might be because Open_Adhesiveness912 – the OP for this thread – uses "Get informed, stay informed" for their account description.

Who else seems to be heavily invested in the niche topic of the SCPL's decision making? How about Ok_Item_1098? Could be a total coincidence that the name is so similar. Their first post was about SCPL "seceding" from a shared catalog system.

How's that connect to this discussion? Well, for that, let's take a look at the OP, Open-Adhesiveness912. Joined June 2, 2021 (happy belated cake day!) Serendipitously, another reddit account that has a surprisingly intense interest in this particular issue joined the same week. That's Flimsy_Age1046. And wouldn't you know it? Their first ever comment after three years was about a petition related to the SCPL.

Thing is, folks? There's more of this. I'm just not so invested that I'm going to continue to document it (but have documented it for posterity).

Let me repeat what I said elsewhere: I'm persuadable that there are things that could be much better!! The County is middling at best and the City of Schenectady is one audit away from being dissolved for incompetence.

I want the best possible services. I want libraries open on the weekend. I want opportunities for staff to grow in the city they call home. And I want public staff to feel like they can talk freely.

Let's have that conversation, yeah?! But for the love of god, y'all, understand that you are cutting yourselves off at the knees if you're doing sock puppet shit like this.
