I have to say I’m with you on what’s going on with ao3 being a coordinated attack. I am a regular on fail_fandomanon on dw and lord the number of upset anons on there under the ao3 thread. I’m half convinced they are all the same people just complaining to make themselves seem like the majority when they are just in fact a loud vocal minority intent on ruining ao3.
Given that it’s dreamwidth, I’d say there’s a fair chance that it absolutely is the same single user or handful of users pretending to be a larger number.
‘sockpuppetting’ was a huge probably back in the era of fandom that most fans who are familiar with dreamwidth and fail_fandomanon hail from.
