Today I noticed a huge wall of spam from UniversalMonk from 2 different accounts and didn’t initially think much of it and blocked their communities but more spam came from different communities.
At this point I checked and saw that they had created several communities which then led me down the rabbit hole to discover that their posts had almost entirely covered the new posts page of both sh.itjust.works and lemm.ee. Later on I discovered that they’re posting right-wing propaganda and misinformation from breitbart, foxnews you name it.
He’s already caused and stirred shit 2 months ago and clearly I can see why now.
At this point it’s difficult to believe that UniversalMonk will learn proper netiquette in: not post spamming, being considerate to others, and not sharing right-wing extremist content that no one wants.
I’m not catering to anybody. Not to you guys, and certainly not to him. He’s subject to the same rules as any other SJW user.
In my opinion, it would make more sense for you guys to be responding to the absurdity of the OP asking for a permaban across all Lemmy servers, rather than dedicating your efforts to chastising me for being skeptical of that plan. But instead, OP got 200 upvotes and a bunch of highly upvoted bloodthirsty comments in full agreement, and I’m the one who has to prove the validity of my entirely reasonable position one painstaking comment at a time. But you have at least acknowledged my points, which is more than I’ve come to expect, so I’ll take it.
Why do you think such a large amount of people upvoted this? Based on the comments, a lot of people ran into him at some point, and the vast consensus is that he should be at least blocked, if not banned.
I saw you mentioning above that all of the commenters could be OP’s alt, are you serious on this? All of these accounts are well known commenters, with years old accounts and plenty of comments.
Do you think Lemmy.ca and LW admins would be agree to ban a user without doing their due diligence? This is why OP is asking for a Lemmy wide ban, because this user is known for ban evasion: https://sh.itjust.works/post/31017252/16043527
Also btw I had to use my SJW account to comment here as the first commenter used a lemmynsfw account, that quite a lot of instances defederate. You might not get feedback from a high number of people on this specific thread due to this.
The lemmy.world moderation team was highly negligent in letting him go on as long as he did there. He was posting multiple posts of thousands of words of bizarre horror-story erotica where his enemies on Lemmy would get their comeuppance, and swearing innocently that he was just doing some creative writing, nothing about anybody in particular, and they were still saying “Yes, yes, we need this in our community, what a creative young man.”
That was just the erotic friend fiction that all well-adjusted people write.
