Last month a "Velma" kept following me around Lemmy using their alts to harass and downvote me, then they popped back up the other day to tell me that the decades of Weinstein rapes were the same as non-physical sexual assault and consensual sex, which is crazy.

Anyone elae have weirdos or creeps following them around?

Looks like Velma's getting upset:

Or maybe this DM is not ftom another Velma alt and a random user is suddenly very upset at me personally for no stated reason. What a coincidence!

Funny, this same user managed to get my main account banned by telling the lemmy.world admin I was stalking them. Guess every accusation is an admission with some people.

Oh, and the instance admin actually bought it and won’t listen to my side, so here I am LOL

Sorry to hear that. These early-access always-online mods are really irritating and bigoted. You can follow every rule of their communities while they and their small group of frontrunner friends simply don't. Then they take things way too far with personal attacks and like you're talking about, directly lying.

Their abuse is why I started this ask lemmy. If they're going to stalk and abuse lemmy and its users, there has to be a place available for discussion where they're not in control.

Ah well I’m not that bothered about the account. It’s just the way they arbitrarily apply the rules and won’t listen to reason that bothers me.

Anyway, I’ve sent the admin a message and this is the last time I try to talk sense into them. I’m not getting my hopes up

Sure: "tolerance for me, but not for thee"

Yea, in that kind of situation it pays to move forward. It sounds like that was also on *.world, you didn't want to try out another instance with a smaller cabal of overprivilege?
