For other ESL speakers who had problems parsing this headline, swifts are a type of bird:
Ohhhhh I thought this was about the SWIFT banking system at first lol, TIL
I thought it was about the speed the brick could fly at when thrown, so yeah…
This is quite weird, your comment was downvoted by a bunch of accounts (that are now banned) that joined about 15 hours ago: https://lemvotes.org/comment/lemmy.world/comment/21934464
Yeah there’s someone on this site who makes throwaway accounts constantly. They create accounts, post a bunch of stuff in comics and news communities, then self deletes after a couple hours before they can be banned.
Any time someone calls them out on it they use their throwaway accounts to go through your recent history and downvote everything you post. They also like to make impersonation accounts to spam from.
There’s a couple threads calling this shit out here in c/comicstrips and c/support
English is my second language, but instead of swift bricks I had to web search what ESL stands for… When addressing non-native speakers, please don’t use cryptic and ambiguous acronyms.
ESL (English as a Second Language) is an incredibly common and widely recognized acronym (at least in the US, not sure about other countries).
