UniversalMonk, PapaSkwat, DonaldJMusk, TheSilentNickel, QuantumTickler, his communities are full of Astro turfing sock puppets.

EDIT: My list of sock puppets. I doubt it's perfect and I may have picked up a few that weren't him

To the mods of this comm, I understand this isn't a post complaining about a mod action taken against me. It's hardly even a complaint against a mod, although he does mod a handful of communities. I know it's a hard-to-prove personal message that the accused will deny sending or say was a joke he told a troll, his word vs mine. But this is beyond the usual actions mods take. This is abuse of the fediverse, harrassment, ban evasion, and vote manipulation.

I believe the situation to be self evident even without this message that the users who frequent DonaldJMusk's comms are primarily him with a new username on a new server and they're leaking out into other communities with ill intent.

If action is to be taken against this post, I ask that it be locked and not deleted.

Thanks for posting this. UniversalMonk is a cancerous cunt.

    Fuck all, but luckily TrickDacy is here to instantly believe any baseless accusation.

    As an admin who had to fend off UM's bot signups - it's definitely not unfounded.

    How do you know they are UM's bots? Do you have clear evidence? Because it all seems like supposition at this point. Otherwise it's entirely plausible someone is just trolling him.

    Do I know if they are the exact same individual - no - I can't know that because I don't have IP information from other instances. To use this limitation as a bludgeon is dishonest. Admins that host sockpuppets and know it aren't likely to ever reveal this information.

    Do I have clear evidence that the UM/CM0002/BarryGoldWater user(s) that attempted signup on my instance are bots - Oh definitely yes.

    Now, I see you are a mod not an admin. I do not typically share my methods with non-admins, and definitely not over a public forum like this.

    If the dbzer0 admin wants my supporting information, they may DM me with their preferred matrix handle/server, and i will happily discuss there.

    Do I know if they are the exact same individual - no - I can’t know that because I don’t have IP information from other instances.

    Well that is entirely what I was trying to find out. So to be perfectly clear, you have NO evidence that the person behind these bots is Universal Monk? But you came here to point the finger anyway.

    To use this limitation as a bludgeon is dishonest.

    I beg to differ. Because literally anyone could be behind bot signups on your instance. But you came in here and emphatically accused Universal Monk, based on what?

    So my question is, what sort of person would use bots to signup under their own name? It makes no sense, they obviously wouldn't. But someone might well use the name(s) of people they want to subject to ongoing harassment. In what reality is that the less likely scenario?

    I do not typically share my methods with non-admins, and definitely not over a public forum like this.

    Just to clarify, I never asked you to post it publicly, matrix would be fine. But I think it's pretty unfair to level an accusation at someone publicly and then refuse to provide the evidence for it being that user. There is a power differential at play here and there are real life negative consequences for the user being accused.

    P.S. Praise be to the Flying Spaghetti Monster we aren't considered a "respectable instance"

    10 hours later and still none, shocking.

    And days later people are still avoiding the proof that shows it's not him. Oh well, they hate him that much that they'll ignore math.

    What did UM do now?

    According to this crowd, everything. Didn't ya hear? Now I control vast teams of networks of people all over the world or something. All to control the money-making power of Lemmy! I guess I'm the CIA now too? Seems like I should be way richer for controlling so many people and having so much power! And owning Lemmy. Or destroying it? I'm still not totally clear about what people think my dastardly goal is. LOL

    I was called a cunt though. I liked that one!
