This account (that you responded to) was created a mere few hours ago. It might even have been created purely to troll people, possibly by someone who has gotten used to being banned using a recognizable account name.
On PieFed I find it very helpful to see an icon next to people’s names indicating brand-new accounts. Some Lemmy apps can do that as well (I switched over to Voyager here to see if it would, but nope, at least not by default). Anyway I wanted to point out that it is a very useful feature, for exactly such scenarios as this!
Thanks - I actually had the setting turned on already but triggering it off and back on again caused it to start working properly, for whatever reason. Indeed that is a helpful indicator:-).

As you say, probably a troll.
