So, I saw a report from one of my users. They reported:

https://ponder.cat/post/1594852/1813842

For the reason:

Unreasonable fighting with everyone in every simple post

I think that’s ridiculous, so I talked with them about it. Posting private communications is frowned upon I guess, but long story short, they weren’t receptive. I’ve decided to ban the account.

IMO the general culture on Lemmy is that users are entitled to their free account and everyone needs to be careful and circumspect about limiting that entitlement in any way, but I don’t see it that way. I don’t think it’s a requirement for me to provide hosting space for anyone who wants to use my stuff as a jumping-off point for abuse of Lemmy’s systems, and isn’t apologetic or receptive when I talk with them about not doing that. The fact that it’s in service of harassing FlyingSquid in particular is just icing on the cake, since my perception is that people like to harass him apparently for no legitimate reason at all (with this as an example).

AITA?

    Actually just found another fake UniversalMonk posting to lemm.ee, which I have been banned from. And I just reported to the mod of c/conservative and the admin @[email protected] to report. :)

    Hmmm, and the user created that name just recently. Around the time this thread was started. Wow, what a strange coincidence. A heated debate of my ban evading. So I post proof that I don’t post in communities that I have been banned from.

    Then magically there are accounts with my name suddenly posting in communities I have been banned from. Even tho that wasn’t happening before this conversation.

    Wow! What a coincidence! Imagine that. Right? Hmmm… I wonder who could have done that. Hmmm…let me think. Who has had it out for me since before the election…and was really really mad that I didn’t vote for harris? And would actually post stats of how many posts I made and my downvote count? Hmmm…oh and even made parody accounts of himself to accuse me of doing that…Who ever could that be? Hmmm…

    You all need to pull up some admin logs so that truth can be known! lol

    She may ignore messages from me since I have been banned from there, but feel free to message her yourself for verification. And I’d invite admins do that as well.

    My message to the admin:

          Yeah, the person that has been banned by countless communities and instances across lemmy- and currently can’t stop getting themselves banned should totally be trusted to tell the truth.

          And would you just look at that? You were banned as recently as less than an hour ago. Looks like even the conservatives can’t stand you.

            And yet, I’m still here. Of course conservatives can’t stand me–I’m not conservative. I don’t believe in the duopoly. Which is why I proudly voted Socialist party and will continue to do. Can’t wait for the next election, so I can vote for a socialist party again.

            And half of those Universal Monks being banned aren’t even me. LMAO They’re trolls who are silly enough to use my name to try to get me banned. But they get banned with that name. So waste of their time.

            But thanks for being so obsessed with me that you keep stats on my name. For some who can’t stand me, you sure to seem to study me a lot.

            Thanks, friend! :)
