I dont know what it is about edgelord technofascists and the need to create sock puppets but I run into it sometimes. I first encountered it with gamergaters on twitter now well documented, then later sadpuppy fascists trying to rig the World Con awards. Maybe when you are an edgelord incel you like to invent people but then again llms and the push for imaginary money and imaginary friends makes sense that basement dwelling Chads would do.
I have also seen similar tactics from Nigerian and Russian scammers on many mediums, the more big tech the medium the bigger and more heads the hydra had. Botsentinel on twitter had an infinite supply of sockpuppets to defend it.
So when I see a (according to many) "reliable and good guy" make a block list full of anti lgbt blocks on Mastodon, I am not AT ALL surpised when the edgelord sockpuppets spring out of the woodwork talking the same until I point it out and then only mostly the same. Dude has a Patraon for his hate speech so it only makes sense that he will create as many new mastodon accounts as required to defend his mealticket
