UniversalMonk ban evasion (self.support)

28 comments fedilink hide all child comments

UniversalMonk has been evading the a ban on him by posting from new accounts on !pleasantpolitics@slrpnk.net. That's ban evasion, which on most instances leads to an account-level ban, as far as I know. The relevant account is UniversalMonk@lemm.ee.

I'm not sure how to notify admins on lemm.ee, so I'm posting here. If ban evasion justifies an account ban on lemm.ee, then it's time. If there's a better place to send this note, let me know, and I'll do that instead.

Ok, guys, now I get what happened. Even tho you all think I'm trolling, it's really because I'm an idiot.

So I THINK I have worked it out. Someone DM'd me the theory.

So auk's robot banned me from his community before I ever posted there under my slrpnk account, based on a downvote count that I had on another instance.

So since I never knew I was banned in his community (because the bot doesn't notify), I mistakenly posted there, and auk recognized the user name, thought I was ban evading.

So now I get it. But, auk, your bot doesn't notify people they were banned.

If people don't know they're banned (especially if they've never posted there), and then post there, I don't think it's fair to represent that as ban evasion.

But at least now I understand. I'm happy not to post there. It's all good.

Guys, I'm not a troll just because I'm still learning all the Lemmy stuff.

You are a troll and we’ve endured weeks of your bad faith reply barrages and even seen you bragging about downvotes. I don’t see any excuse for you that holds water.

It was real fun for you up until everyone quit asking you to stop and simply removed you, huh?

It may stun you to realize this, but you worked hard and earned this reputation and now you own it. It’s yours. It’s no one’s fault but your own. You had ample time and chance to contribute in earnest.

I have only been on this slpnk instance for two days. And you can easily not "endure" me by blocking my name. So I'm not sure why you are so upset. Lemmy has plenty of tools to block voices you don't want to hear from.

Actually the "bragging" about my downvotes, was because it was trying to be weaponized against me. So I owned it and stood by my comments. And by the way, I still stand by my comments on that other instance.

I was downvoted on .world because of my opinions that Trump was gaining on Harris in the polls and posting articles saying that, plus my love for third parties. And as the election showed, what I posted was shown to be accurate.

Also, I did not vote for Trump--I voted for a Socialist third party, even tho that shouldn't matter when it comes to people downvoting me. But it does.

The most important part of all this is that all of that drama was on a different instance.

This instance isn't about that. The downvotes that this person's community bot banned me for WERE NOT based on me here on this instance.

I'm apolitical on this instance and I mostly post/comment about fitness, solar power, and cool anarchy stuff. And I have never hidden my username here or tried to hide who I was. I have never posted to any other instance with my slrpnk name.

The election is over. I don't think politics needs to come into every single discussion on this instance. And I have no desire to post again in that person's community.

The beauty of the fediverse is that it's decentralized. And no one voice or one point of view can be overpowering.

Plus this situation has been resolved here, so we can move on.

Part of the point of the violation here is that, if someone's already blocked your name, they now have to do it again for three new accounts, until you make more beyond those three.

I already think that trolling and saying that anyone who doesn't like it should just block you is unreasonable. Trolling and saying that anyone who doesn't like it needs to block every new account you make to keep trolling with when one gets banned is a whole different level.

Which takes two seconds. I know because I've blocked several people. It's not that difficult and I think site-wide banning because of opinions you don't like is bad form. Avoiding that is the entire point of the fediverse.

But like I said, you and I have resolved our issues. We can move on.
