A place where you can rant to your heart's content.
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.
I think the broader solution is approval-based instance federation. I know that's a little anti-fed, but this type of attack has no other solution I can think of, and banning a username just means the attacker rotates those, (too).
Okay. Looking through the comments, it doesn't appear that you actually have anything here other than it pisses you off. But is it a problem? You're phrasing this like cm0002 is evading bans and he isn't. If he's making new accounts and that annoys you then that sucks but... why do the admins need to get involved with this? You said you want to have him permabanned from an instance? Why?
You can check who voted for a post by the way. Cm0002 doesn't vote for himself. I have checked in the past when I first started noticing his username a lot myself. Hell, I thought he was irritating as hell for a while myself too. I guess I'm biased in the sense that I know the dude and would call him a friend but even then, I'm not seeing anything demonstrating that action needs to actually be taken by anyone.
I get being annoyed with people. But saying that this is bad faith and worthy of having the entire username banned from the entire fucking instance seems like a massive overreach. One so far that I would just outright avoid ever posting to that instance ever again because that admin would be tripping balls and power.
How would permablocking a certain username help? He'll just change it. Not sure if IP bans are on the table, but those can be circumvented fairly trivially as well.
I can see how shadowbanning would help in such a case, but I'd rather not see such things on the platform at all if possible.
Ban evading, but using the same name.
ROFL. Not a lot of logic in that accusation I’d say.
I have a similar setup here. Isn't ban evasion more effective when you don't reuse a username? Also I see this person's posts on the top most days, what exactly are they getting banned for?
I'm using multiple instance handles like they're subreddit clusters, which is why I didn't bother changing my name. Seems like something that people who check a lot of different comms of different sizes do
