  2. Be respectful to others, even if they're the subject of your rant. Realize that you can be angry at someone without denigrating them.
  3. Keep it on Topic. Memes about ranting are allowed for now, but will be banned if they start to become more prevalent than actual rants.

Editing to delete all of this. I am getting real threats again, and I am not willing to have a complete mental collapse over fucking Lemmy for a 2nd time. Fuck this place. And especially fuck all of the transpose assholes bent on making my life hell. I am deleting my accounts permanently, but will leave the content up. Don't worry, you won't need to kill or doxx me, I intend to take care of the former myself.

Can someone explain what is wrong here?

[–] Turbonics@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Someone called cm0002 goes around Lemmy and frequently calls people stupid tankies and then he gets banned and whines about it on .world

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 16 hours ago

Idk if he does that any more, they said they were done with world because world kept jordanlund

[–] JahuteSkye@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Tankie runs .ml, supports dictators like Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, etc. and says things like invading Ukraine and uyghur genocide is good actually and/or are western lies.

Dude doesn't like it, makes lots of alts to evade bans to repeatedly post a link to a list of fully insane things the .ml mods have said or done.

Basically .ml is a tankie hellscape and cm0002 has a whole lot of spare time.

To evade bans

Why are you guys so insistent on lying about something that can be instantly disproven? He's not evading bans.

[–] JahuteSkye@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He just enjoys making accounts and the tankie is mad at his hobby? 😂

Evading BLOCKS, then? Does that make you happy?

.ml bans at the drop of a hat for even the slightest dissent, I'm sure he was banned too.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

Evading BLOCKS, then? Does that make you happy?

Still doubt that but at least it's not outright provably to be a lie.

He also doesn't post to .ml. You people are exhausting.

Tbh I kinda like it, I have .ml blocked, so if someone is going in there and filtering out the good content to post elsewhere, I’m not opposed.

E: it is annoying that there’s like 100 accounts of them, but meh, it’s not a huge deal to me

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 36 points 2 days ago

Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about??

[–] GammaGames@beehaw.org 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Honestly I haven’t ever had a complaint against them, I don’t really pay attention to names and appreciate their effort to grow coms outside of ml.

I do notice the constant complaining though, that’s annoying!

[–] hamid@crazypeople.online 28 points 2 days ago (18 children)

It is unhinged behavior to do this in response to not liking admins of a lemmy instance and I just feel bad for this person that this is where they channel their life energy into.

[–] hatorade@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Books and making art are too boring. Making new accounts every month and manually reposting content to the point dozens of users ask if you're a bot a week is a better time.

I don't like the content they post (it's indistinguishable from botspam) and I especially don't like the fact that I can't just block it. Every week it's a new spam account.

Blocking is a user ban. Making so many new accounts is (from a personal, user-experience level only) very much like ban evasion in that view. The experience fucking blows.

I get that a lot of people are digging what cm0002 posts, and I don't mind that they are getting off to it. I don't, and I'm tired of playing block wak a mole. I don't know what else to do but to keep blocking every time they get bored and make (for some reason???) yet another (over twenty and growing!) account on a new instance. I could see two or even three for like, you want to keep a porn account separate from public, or you want a mander persona and a world persona or something, but this is so supermuch not that.

If people don't like me, and no doubt I'm on a lot of people's blocklists (for good reason...), they can block my single name and move on with their lives and never have to deal with my manic bullshit ever again. More power to them, go off and slay, queen, it's a great feature of this broad community.

Is it really too much to ask to be shown the same courtesy?

Yeah they are also an Ai simp and just constantly stealing other people’s content.

?

  1. Definitely not every post of theirs is upvoted (see links below). Do you have one that you feel like the voting for was probably fraudulent or something?
  2. He is vocally against lemmy.ml and reposts their content sometimes to encourage people to move off that server. What's your take on that? Does he repost anything outside of that one example that you know of?
  3. Do people ban this person? Literally all he does is post, as far as I can tell... like I looked over the user pages 1 2 3 4 5 and it's just kind of normal stuff to me.
  4. It's a little weird that he has so many accounts. @cm0002@lemmy.zip why do you have so many accounts? It is a little weird and makes it more difficult for people who want to block you, I get that part of what OP is saying, just all the rest of it like you're doing some kind of wild out-of-pocket thing by posting the stuff you post seems all the way out of left field to me.

proof that it is high time that an instance needs the ability to straight up perma ban a username

This wouldn't solve the problem. They'd just roll in with cm0003. You need an IP ban or some similar source specific censorship. Even then, it's a moving target when the end user is determined enough.

For other people blocking me, I don't really care if they do or don't, it's just unfortunate unintended side effects for the actual reasons below. If I was really ban/block evading I'd just make up an entirely new user name each time, it would be FAR more effective and longer lasting.

  • Shopping for a new home instance

  • Exploring the Threadiverse from different perspectives (the "hot" feed you see can vary quite a bit depending on the instance you're on lol)

  • Learning that the bot intended to better interconnect instance comms may not be doing as good of a job

  • Interconnecting wayward or much smaller instances, a couple of them are missing even the big comms, one I was on the other day I needed to manual have it federate with every comm I posted to

  • For the creation of comms on fitting instances or just among a regular rotation of general instances so I'm not making a whole bunch on any one instance

  • Prevention of a reoccurrence of my imposter problem

Trolling .ml (or Why am I cross-posting .ml content?

I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.

Megathread on the issue

Some highlights from the link:

"Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

"See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

"NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

"If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

Can you just make this easy for everyone, then, and create your own instance (which hosts the account from which all your heavy posting will come), and use your other accounts for whatever else you might want to do.

This:

  • enables users or instances that may want to not interact with you to enact that effectively

  • allows you to see posts from and post to every instance and community which reciprocates a desire to be connected with you (or at least which doesn't want to not be connected with you)

All without putting the burden on others for your excessive account creation and posting.

I do feel like there's a legitimate complaint to be had that since you're doing heavy / automated posting, it would be good to pick one and only one instance/user to do it from just to be polite to people who don't want that, and have it blocked.

I feel like all the weeping and gnashing of teeth that OP is doing isn't necessary, since you're obviously not intending it badly, but I do feel like there's a grain of legitimacy somewhere in there.
