To the mods of this comm, I understand this isn’t a post complaining about a mod action taken against me. It’s hardly even a complaint against a mod, although he does mod a handful of communities. I know it’s a hard-to-prove personal message that the accused will deny sending or say was a joke he told a troll, his word vs mine. But this is beyond the usual actions mods take. This is abuse of the fediverse, harrassment, ban evasion, and vote manipulation.

I believe the situation to be self evident even without this message that the users who frequent DonaldJMusk’s comms are primarily him with a new username on a new server and they’re leaking out into other communities with ill intent.

If action is to be taken against this post, I ask that it be locked and not deleted.

        I’ll help ya out: He’s been on here less that one day, and the only post he has made is this one, and the only comments he’s made are in this thread.

        Think about that a sec.

        Now go check my post history and how long I’ve been here: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/UniversalMonk?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts

        Once every couple of months or so there is someone posting a thread saying I am every bad guy on Lemmy and that I am the destroyer of worlds.

        If I were some evil attention-seeking troll like people claim, the smartest move would be to ignore me and starve me of attention. Instead, folks keep making threads and building this whole myth around me. Makes me feel famous though, which is kind of fun.

        Thanks, friend!

            You will notice that users from those so-called “blocked” instances can still:

            1. respond to your comments
            2. vote on your content
            3. send you DMs
            4. which are allowed to trigger notifications
            5. post in your communities
            6. etc.

            What it blocks:

            1. you from seeing communities housed on those instances (even if posted from people on other instances)

            In short it should have been named a “community mute” rather than an “instance block”. The best way to block an entire instance frankly is to switch from Lemmy to PieFed. Otherwise there is only a tiny minority of apps (Sync and Connect iirc) that will offer that - the rest merely connect you to the same misnamed instance block (but actually no and rather community muting) feature inbuilt into Lemmy, unless you start to get into things like hacking your feed with a browser plugin to filter users from instances that you want blocked.

            Hi, Admin from lemmy.today here. I’m certainly not a fascist and I wouldn’t be associated with any instance or participate on an Admin Team that is.

            Speaking of Admin Teams I think every member of ours (including me) has separately investigated the accusation that DJM and UM are the same person and to date none of us have come up with anything. We have engaged with several Lemmy users from other instances who claimed to have proof but none of them provided anything other than conjecture and accusation.

            If you, or anyone else, actually has some proof feel free to message any member of the lemmy.today admin team.

            not neccesarily, but some of the communities are problematic, like politics and some other political type instances, its not like super tankie, but they do like to form a opinion that they dont like changing in some of them, and have banned people, especially when it comes to gaza/israel, they misinterpret people way too much, basically labeling them antisemitic if they dont agree with you.

          Yours literally features the same guy in all your pfp.

          The reason he’s in all my real profiles, is because I don’t hide the fact that my name is on different instances. I don’t create alt names. I never have.

          So either you are editing pictures of yourself or you are really fond of this dude.

          Both, actually! My profile pic is a character in many of my books–I write for a living. He’s basically me and the picture is too, but with way better ai lighting. I’m real-life shirtless all over reddit, so feel free to accuse me of thirst trapping for attention. But I digress.

          Some trolls take my name and try to make fake accounts with it, but they get banned fast. My name is known enough that those fakes stand out. That’s what makes this whole thread funny.

          I’ve never hidden who I am. And I’m not banned from Lemmy–you’re replying to me right now. See? This account, along with my anarchist.nexus one, has been my main home for a long time.

          The idea that I’m running “hundreds of sock puppets” doesn’t hold up. What would be the point? These supposed accounts don’t even agree with each other. There’s no shared message, no agenda, no pattern. What would anyone gain by creating a swarm of fake accounts that argue with each other? It makes no sense. You yourself just pointed out that I keep the same crappy profile on my usernames.

          OP’s account is less than one day old, and this his only post, and the only comments he’s made are in this thread. OP also admitted to creating a troll account with someone’s same username to troll someone who he thought was me: His quote: I will admit the [email protected] was me counter-trolling but I am not finding Lemmy worth the fight.

          Now I have no idea why he thinks the PapaSkwat dude is me, because I checked that dudes posts, and I don’t even see anything controversial. So no clue what that’s all about. But right there is he admitting to doing what he is trying to accuse me of doing. lol

          Everything about the accusations in this thread collapses under basic logic.

          You hate me. I get it. That’s fine and it makes me feel important! But at least hate me for the shit I do; not what some other random posters are doing. lol

              First, I was a russian spy. Then I was a chinese spy for a while. There was that fun guy who swore up and down he could prove I was a North Korean plant was fun (I miss him!). And now I’m a bot.

              Oh, and now me and CM0002, who talks plenty of shit about me, are the same guy. To be honest tho, that’s a fun theory. And one of my favs. He’d be so pissed to see people saying that about him! lmao

              I’m really confused by all the things I am now though.

              Could someone please make a list of all the things I am and all the different countries I work for? And my 300 alt names? Pay scale would be nice too, so I can use to negotiate pay. Thank you!

            When you conveniently leave out that providing proof reduces an admins ability to re-use certain detection methods, it makes me pretty convinced you’re complicit.

              How the heck would anyone but you know that your proof would reveal your detection method? That’s not a given.

              And what’s the point of collecting proof if the only way you have to convince others is “trust me bro, I’ve got the evidence, but you can’t see it, my dog ate it.”

              And then when asked for proof you jump to implicate the person asking for proof? That’s terrible form. We have an instance rule against bad-jacketing users:
