Most of them are over-and-over-again reposts from the same person, who was banned years ago for abusive behaviour and keeps coming back and being banned again (and creating huge numbers of sockpuppets to downvote people he doesn’t like, which is the main reason why there are currently no downvotes on LW).
[EDITED to clarify:] So what happens is: he posts something, his account gets zapped because he’s supposed to be banned and his comments are deleted, and then he makes a new account and posts all the same things again, repeat ad nauseam. I can’t imagine he thinks he’s actually doing something constructive; I think he does it as a sort of fuck-you to the LW admins.
That would be the person you recently said “Did we just become best friends?” to, by the way.
