UniversalMonk, PapaSkwat, DonaldJMusk, TheSilentNickel, QuantumTickler, his communities are full of Astro turfing sock puppets.

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.

Some explanation. Density is effectively a measure of how “compact” a given community within the system is. Its the average rate of “agreement” for any given vote direction (weighted or unweighted). You could think of it as being how “concerted” a group of voters are.
You have some options with how you build the networks. You can use just upvotes, just downvotes, or you can 'weight" the upvotes or downvotes. Weighting is important because some users just vote, way way more than others. In fact, there are users you can find in the wild who have practically never commented or posted, but vote on practically everything they see. Its not a safe assumption to make to suggest that everyone votes in the same manner or that voting as a tool is used the same way by all users.
In this network, we did “weighted” downvotes, so the weights are proportioned by the users total down-votes cast.
So the “Avg down weight” can be considered the “total average shared percent of user downvotes”. So in that first community, about half a percent of the communities total average downvotes are in concert.
You can of course use upvotes, or unweighted down or upvotes, and I’m just pushing a version now to do a k-partite version of the same thing with individual weights, so just… go nuts if you like.
Suspicion score is finally:
density* average_down_scaled* 10000
This means groups with high density and high downvote coordination have higher suspicion socres. The 10000 is just to make the number something easier on the eyes.
Hmmm, I’m not really showing up as suspicious in those stats, yet many of the accounts that routinely accuse me of shit, do show up under the suspicious label in that data. Hmmmm…very very interesting…
I’m sure it’s just coincidence that they accuse you of doing it while they do it. The certainly doesn’t have a word for it in their language they use on you.
