I downvoted maybe half a dozen posts. They were all right-wing bullshit and I realized that’s all the user has ever posted so I got out of there. The next day I see more of his junk and go to downvote but can’t because I’m banned.
Sure it was a dick move to poke the bear about his lifestyle of only posting things that get downvoted, but he. Went. OFF!
Accusing me of alts, thinking I’m obsessed with him, message after message… I probably have more in my inbox right now but stitching this image together took long enough.
UM used to post a ton of conservative bullshit, then would get offended when it was downvoted into oblivion, then would go off on unrelated rants and would message people heinous bullshit. We’re talking posting and commenting like it was a full time job. That account got banned, and he created a bunch of alts on other instances to get around it. It was always suspected that DJM was an UM alt, and then was confirmed when he posted one of UM’s rants word for word. Once you know what to look for it’s pretty obvious. Most of the accounts I know of were created on the same day, have the same style of weird AI created avatar (pretty sure they’re made using the Dream app by Womble), and all have some sort of vaguely libertarian sounding quote in their profile.
I think there’s a few posts about UM on fediverse lore as well.
That explains why they accused OP of having alts, every accusation and all that.
Actually no. I have nothing to do with OP or the communities he was banned from. He’s not banned from any of my communities. I don’t have any alt names. I have this name on alt instances, but no alt names. And all my posts on all my instances are public.
Word-for-word rant?! I’ve seen others say that too, but I’ve never seen it. Any receipts? I even looked on my own. I am not finding any word for word rant. You have a link to the rant? I have never DM’d any “heinous bullshit.” Again, any proof or links or screenshots? OP is not banned in any of my communities. But if he went in my communites and downvoted a bunch of shit and as he admitted to, “poked the bear,” then I’d prolly ban him too. Like others have been saying and doing.
Off-topic tho. I have nothing to do with OP or the post.
EDIT: Let’s just move on. I’m not the subject of OP’s situation. Unless you have proof of the word-for-word rant that the guy supposedly took from me–then we can keep going. I haven’t seen any of that in his post history tho
That’s not how the disengage rule works. It’s not a trump card to have the last word in.
Fair point. I was trying to keep from a slapfighting removal. It’s a fine line between defending myself, and having the arguments just keep going on. So maybe saying “Let’s move on” would have been more appropriate, I’ve edited comment. I’m not the subject of OP’s post so I wasn’t sure how to defend myself when people say it’s me, but I don’t wanna be accused of a slapfight.
I think defending yourself against libel is OK, but you can just write in the end that you’re not interested in arguing about this further. If they then try to argue with you, just reply with ‘disengage’
Ahhh! Ok, yep, that makes more sense. Edited my comment, and I’ll edit my others as well.
