This is just a partial list of this POS’s ban and block evasion tactics. Every two to three days, this asshole forces an instance to federate out, wasting their resources, and doesn’t give a shit who has banned or tried to block them. Then a large number from every one of these account is very heavily upvoted. Oh, that isn’t suspicious at all, especially when over 90% of what this fuckwqd posts is the laziest kind of repost (just blatantly ripped from .ml in a likely automated way similar to the the account creation likely is since they will make accounts on instances less than a day old).
I am fucking tired of this shitty, bad faith action and this is proof that it is high time that an instance needs the ability to straight up perma ban a username from any instance. I am aware that PieFed has this feature and right now it seems like something so incredibly basic. One person has the power to make all of Lemmy effectively useless, and it needs to stop being that way immediately.
Is that what PugJesus is doing? I thought he had one account on lemmy.world and then made one on piefed.social and posts more or less the same stuff from both which is generally pretty benign at least in my worldview.
I do kind of get what you’re saying, sure. Overall I think the problem of people making new accounts to get around ban evasion is a serious problem. I even checked out https://sh.itjust.works/ to see what you’re talking about, and yeah I get it, there’s a bunch of meme posts from cm0002 high up in the feed and I get how that could be annoying if that’s not your thing. I guess I don’t subscribe to the meme communities, so maybe that’s why I’m just befuddled by the idea that someone could be this bent out of shape about those particular users.
That’s what’s confusing to me about it: There are users on Lemmy who go out of their way to be obnoxious and make it difficult for people to block them, or post content that’s malicious in some way. I don’t see anyone on your list as being like that. They’re just posting stuff. IDK, you can also try out scaled sort which aims to give a more balanced feed without the “big name” communities dominating so much.
I guess I do agree with you, actually, about it being a problem overall people making new accounts and making it difficult for people who just don’t want to see their stuff. That’s why I asked cm0002 why he’s made so many accounts, I kind of get that aspect of it, you shouldn’t have to answer anyone’s questions if you just don’t want to see someone’s content. I just don’t get where this vitriol comes from about it. Like in the link I showed, he’s posting memes in a meme community and then people are upvoting them, and so they show up. I don’t get where the “ARGH HE’S RUINING LEMMY MAKE HIM STOP MAKE HIM STOP” part is coming from in that equation.
Same. But I do subscribe to a lot of technical communities where the cm0002 collective reposts, and that can get annoying.
It’s actually really easy to understand. You said so yourself: ban evasion is annoying.
But, like, we are in a “rant” community. The original poster seems annoyed.
You don’t have to understand it at all. This isn’t yptb.
Why come to a rant community and be sarcastic and condescending? The ranting is why they’re here.
Is cm0002 banned somewhere? Are they using new accounts to evade those bans in places they’ve been banned?
I do feel like if your “rant” is very specifically directed at some other specific person, and also seems factually untrue in a few different respects, then it’s worth asking some questions. Just because it’s a rant doesn’t mean it’s exempt from people having a reaction.
Because it’s my way of making a point. In some societies, when someone aims criticism and vitriol at another human being, other people are allowed to defend that person or ask questions and see if it’s justified.
Like a jerk? Gross! I don’t need that. No one needs that. See how you got downvoted for being condescending? No, you don’t. I love a guy who’s “just asking questions” in a shitty way.
“But they’re just posting!” Obtuse and rude. Neat!
“Vitriol.” Lmao
Edit: I knew eventually this would get downvoted more than upvoted! The assholes always come out of the woodwork on social media, it’s simply a matter of time.
Like every time I see a person not acting like a jerk I’m like ARGHH FUCK THIS GAH GLU BO and I start downvoting the comments
“It’s not simply a matter of more eyes eventually reading and disagreeing! It’s just a bunch of assholes brigading!!1!”
That’s actually pretty cute. Do you really feel this way? My options are agree with you, or be an asshole? Mark me down as an asshole, then.
No, you don’t. Cos we’re all just assholes, in here.
E: ducking autocorrupt
My pleasure. I don’t have your entire instance blocked but I wonder if I should.
Why would I ever care about your opinion? Oh no I might miss a Big Lebowski reference
I want to add that blocking this kind of person has improved my existence here immensely. Far fewer stupid “witty” comments straight from reddit.
Excuse, but i ordered the
EXTRA BIG ASS
side of hypocrisy to go with that condescension, please and thank you! 😘
“Hey this guy’s a big piece of shit. I can’t even tell you what a piece of shit, I’m so angry, he’s total garbage, he’s the absolute worst and fuck him, we need to get rid of him.”
“What? I’ve never found this specific person you’re going after to be a piece of shit. Why do you say that? (specific questions and sarcasm)”
“Woooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww”
You seem lovely lol
(I’m going to take your response to mean he’s not actually banned anywhere)
