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.

    trolls can create an impersonation account and act like an insane arsehole trolls can report that account as being an alt of universal monk

    Yep! I’m pretty sure I’ve even wrote to admin of this instance to point out when someone started impersonating me. It got to be so many accounts that I stopped doing that though.

    At peak UM hate, there were something like 45 instances with my name that were not me. Some guy hated me so much he’d make a list of all the instances, and post it to every conversation I was involved in. lol

    Also saw a few fun ones like, “REALUniversalMonk” and “UniMonk” and “UniversalMonksHairyArse” or something like that, but those never lasted long because they’d just get banned immediately when they posted weird ass nazi shit anyway.

    It’s pretty much died down recently. Most people know I post just from this one, sh.itjust.works and piefed.feddit. This is my main one tho, because…pirates!

    I was on slrpnk, but to your point, a mob campaign started, so the admin there gave me a heads up they were banning and deleting me. Even tho I had never posted anything political at all from that account. But he gave me time to switch everything over before he deleted all my stuff, so he’s cool people.

    To be honest, I’m surprised that admins even let my name be started on other instances now!

      I recall that, and someone started impersonating one of our users with transphobic trolling shit, talking about pig pet play stuff. Weird as well.

      They could just… go on with their lives. Instead they dedicate hundreds of hours into this instead of reading a book, watching movies, playing games, etc.
