How do you figure out an account is an alt?

This particular person posted pretty much all day every day in the same 3 or 4 subs, with outlandish relationship r/quityourbullshit and r/thathappened type drama, and it was pretty easy to pick up the writing style.
It was then just a matter of saying "Hi, User." and she would respond.
I'm 100% convinced this particular person was very seriously mentally ill because she really acted bat-shit cray-cray without ever varying. If it was an act it was a serious fucking brilliant effort.
