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

EDIT: My list of sock puppets. I doubt it’s perfect and I may have picked up a few that weren’t him

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.

    Most of them are banned on feddit.org. However I don’t think UniversalMonk might be the same person. Sure UM is a troll, but content and writing style are different. I do suspect another account that likes to defend UM to be UMs sockpuppet. I am still investigating though.

    I am not the author, just crossposting

    Apparently the tankie in the post running 300 accounts is UniversalMonk who is a notorious right wing troll.

        You just need to dig a little. Do a username search for universalmonk and that will show a list of the many instances it comments on. You can link nearly all of those accounts to alts through interactions in different communities where it is faking participation.

        I have nearly all of the alts blocked. If you don’t know the history of that user, that is a good thing.

        It’s a rabbit hole that isn’t too hard to dig into, but has been covered so many times on Lemmy, it’s not really worth anyone’s time to scrounge up “proof”, yet again.

    “no one even notice”

    Yeah, we do. “dude” and his ilk are not subtle, nor as clever as they think.

    Right now this is just an accusation with no evidence. When pressed for evidence the author comes through with “TrustMeBro™”

        I mean thats just hilarious because you “recognize me”.

        Bruh we’ve been having conversations for well over a year now. Hope you recognize me otherwise you should see a doctor for dementia. And we agree over 99% of the things we’ve ever discussed. But you think because we’ve disagreed at the edges we must be enemies.

        You should probably have kept this to the original thread where we were already discussing this. I’ve also provided a library there, so I’ll provide it here again, https://codeberg.org/sillyhonu/lemmy-vote-analyzer.

        Its got all the tools you should need for identifying bot networks and you can run it in any python environment. Go find some evidence or stop bullying people.

      Just dig a little yourself. It’s not hard and likely the only proof you would accept anyway.

        It’s not my job to come up with evidence to support a claim I didn’t make.

        I’ve already gone extraordinarily above and beyond by providing the tool kit. If y’all are too lazy, ignorant, or so much more interested in a witch hunt than actual evidence, there may not be any help for you.
