Its a shame because they're prominent voice on lemmy. Good on the admins for not tolerating this. I don't understand the point of targeting a person you don't like on the internet just because they said something that upset you and spamming their post with downvotes. If you don't like someone block their ass and be done with it. I agree with the perspective that its harassment (and an incredibly petty ineffective form of it at that)

    May be this (emphasis mine):

    Removed Comment
    Me: "Oh look, the ghost said something stupid again. I wonder what they've been up to." [clicks profile] [sure enough, more stupid things are said, including blatant misinformation] Sorry that you say stupid things and break the rules, I guess? > I recall a few weeks back he said that because I don’t call out .ml that much (funny how he ignores me calling out Hexbear) I somehow must mass downvote his posts across lemmy. lol I'm sure you can quote me. It would be awful if your memory was as poor as your ability to construct coherent arguments. AND a place of honor in your bio? That's unironically great. Thanks for helping spread me all over the Fediverse!

    Maybe the admin misread? Or they read that and then actually checked the data and found PJ did downvote all that other users stuff or smthn.

    I tried to take a short look at the data but PJ has over 150k votes which probably breaks the page I use. (Admins can natively see this info in lemmy)

    Correct, I gave my admin over 25 links documenting it, after he said he stalks my account to do it.

    That sounds a lot more justified then, thanks for the info.

    For that extra certainty, was it consecutive comments and posts?
    Could you have feasibly come across all of them organically if you used lemmy an unhealthy amount?

    It was anything he disagreed with, so it would skip some posts.

    Even for Pug, no. It was including communities for only db0 members, small communities he's not part of, and posts going back a month.

    He literally told me he saw me make one post and then stalked my account. He told me he always searches his username online for when people talk about him.

    Deeply disturbed individual who needs to relax.

    Blahaj is probably blocked in your country, mine and another friend has the same issue. Feddit blocks large swathes of Asia and maybe some other parts of the world sadly, but the admin told me they'll fix it... Soon.

    I meant the fact about media being broken, that would only happen if those instances are blocked/blocking you, banning cant do that at all. Otherwise I have no clue.

    Bruh. The users are from feddit instance but the community they're posting on is world instance.

    It doesn't work like that, even if the post is on another instance the media itself is hosted on the users' instance. For example if a feddit.org user posted to a dbzer0 community I wouldn't be able to see it, since the image itself is hosted on feddit.org.

    There's a fix for this called image proxying, which a few instances like Lemmy.zip for example enable, but Lemmy.world doesn't do this.

    And I can see the media when I open it in a browser without logging in.

    Then I have no idea what's going on, sorry.

    Unsurprising, that user is a power-poster and power-mod that constantly tries to shit-stir. Figured it was only a matter of time before something like this happened.

    I pretty plainly admit to focusing on correcting misinterpretations of Marxism and Marxism-Leninism, I spend very little time power posting, and I don't own and moderate drama communities. I also don't downvote troll people, or stalk them and post about them on drama comms.

    I'm certainly opinionated, and have my own political views I don't shy away from, but I think it's pretty clear that this is a fundamentally different situation.

    Meh, like I guess, but honestly when someone lifts you out of the bucket of shit you're stirring, the shape of you is obscured by the fact you are also covered in the shit you stirred along with this loser.

    Don't really follow, are you just saying that because I'm opinionated and like to talk about Marxism, I'm the same kind of shit-stirrer that constantly posts memes trying to provoke a response, and mods a bunch of drama communities specifically about snooping on people for screengrabs? I can't say I agree.

    I would love to read that context if you have it somewhere.

    Based on the conversations I've had with him, it's gotta be gold.

    I disagree with you. I'd never want to go back to the old defaults in forums, of un-threaded conversations where every comment is equal (and generally sorted by timestamp). Some comments are just better than others, and a user interface should prioritize the better comments.

    Comments that are interesting, funny, or informative can be read by more people when they're shown earlier in the page.

    Comments that are rude, factually incorrect, off topic, etc., can be de-emphasized in the user interface, even if they don't technically break any rules. I'd rather it be a community driven decision than a mod-driven decision of the harsh consequences of comment removal or user ban.

    The key is to find a community whose collective opinions you respect. Crowds may not be perfect, but they're generally better than individual mods.

    And a naive "newest first" sort algorithm just prioritizes frequent posters and incentivizes "bumping" threads, which also detracts from the overall quality of a forum.

    Agree with most of this with the * that you don't need to respect the communities collective opinions in every way. Sometimes its okay to think different, know you're saying something many won't like out of sheer difference in principle, and post it anyways. Its okay to be downvote bombed and shuffled down the viewing priority as long as you aren't being outright censored in scummy ways. I feel genuinely bad for actual adults with such thin skin and need for internet community validation who get salty at a bad ratio of up arrows to down arrows to the point of reflexively editing their comment to talk down to strawmen.

    I've been on lemmy a few years now even though I genuinely do not like a lot of the communities prefered topics and conversational archetypes, because I feel respected enough as a user to say and post what i'd like within the bounds of community rules without getting shadowbanned for talking about the wrong thing or having 15 automods tell me im not allowed to post a meme without 15 upvote points. Its a decently struck balance.

    Why does this matter? If I disagree and dislike something, why not give me a "don't like that" button?

    Prominent is certainly a choice of words

    I wouldnt be surprised if he was the source of the majority if mod reports the last few days - some time off would do him good.
