Long story short, there are individuals everywhere on the web who disdain me for different reasons who like to express that by smearing me, and one of them showed up in [email protected] to make statements which are a mix of slander and unconsented reveal of personal info.

This is further shown by the fact that, if you see their info, their current name is a day old and none of what was said under it (with a single exception) pertains to anything unrelated to me (and the individual even openly redirects to some of the other places where they have harassed me, and in the responses I do too).

In classic fashion, the people responding there seem to not want to acknowledge the possibility that it breaks the rules, or that anything it says I am guilty of that I was ever actually guilty of was dealt with long ago (as opposed to it mainly being things taken out of context), and just keep saying "look what you've done", because people like to circlejerk.

I ask the question I ask, however, because the community rule enforcer there originally removed the thread upon my first report but then unremoved it to lock it instead. Though I might not be focusing so much on the following aspect of this ordeal, this, one might say, demonstrates explicit intent in furthering what the poster is trying to do. I know that, in other instances, unconsented personal information is not allowed. Even the ML one removes anything that so much asks about your hometown often. There was a case where a Neo-Nazi had their personal info removed because "a line has to be drawn". But me? I'm left thinking "wow, these people think I'm worse than a murderer, and that was before I did anything of note". Which anyone would know is a sarcastic thought. What the post says doesn't even follow the community's rules, but in the name of populism, it's there.

Is this against the rules (and what can be done)?

instance rule #7 is against revealing personal information, and the post you mentioned has been removed, as well as others related to it. sorry for the delay in dealing with it!

Hey, sorry to bother you again, but could you or whoever did it last time do the same to another one that's doing the same thing? It seems the person running the Fedilore crowd is serious about lifting the troll up (it deals with another message that was removed but then unremoved).

it was already removed on our end, but the removal doesn't appear to be federating. i attempted to remove it again, but not sure if that will work or not.

It's gone on my end. Thank you <3

Hey, sorry to bother you a third time, but they're back doing the same thing with the same support from the mod there. Could you the same thing again?

I've removed that thread for violating the community rules. I'm not sure I'd call it doxing since the posts they referenced are all in public locations but it's from a new account, doesn't obscure identities, and is obviously trying to start a witch hunt.

Hey, sorry you bother you again, but they're back at it again, but in replies this time (while slandering me, and all the community owner did was lock the thread) rather than in the form of an OP. Could you or @[email protected] do the same thing again please?
