Editing to delete all of this. I am getting real threats again, and I am not willing to have a complete mental collapse over fucking Lemmy for a 2nd time. Fuck this place. And especially fuck all of the transpose assholes bent on making my life hell. I am deleting my accounts permanently, but will leave the content up. Don’t worry, you won’t need to kill or doxx me, I intend to take care of the former myself.

    proof that it is high time that an instance needs the ability to straight up perma ban a username

    This wouldn’t solve the problem. They’d just roll in with cm0003. You need an IP ban or some similar source specific censorship. Even then, it’s a moving target when the end user is determined enough.

      CG NAT and VPNs want to have a word with you.

          This doesn’t need much determination. And especially with CG NAT you would IP ban not only one person, but a whole block or even district of persons.

            Most trolls don’t even know what those are, though. And in my experience, making an account somewhere else is more effort than 99.9% put in already.

                What’s the point? OP mentioned that there’s still ways around an IP ban in theory. They’re still widely used to great effect in practice.

                  The point he is trying to make is that an IP ban can also affect innocent users in the crossfire, if they share the same IP. For example because of CGNAT
