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.
Before the US election, I was openly pro–third party. I supported the Green Party, then switched to a Socialist party. At the time, Lemmy was hostile toward anyone not backing Biden and Harris. If you mentioned third-party voting, people called you a traitor or a Russian plant. Since I didn’t vote for Biden, they assumed I was voting for Trump—even though I actually voted for Socialist party.
Lemmy’s more open to third parties now that both major parties have shown their flaws, but the old ‘UM is a conservative’ smear stuck. Never mind that I voted socialist and have posted hundreds of articles on socialism, anarchism, piracy, and third-party politics.
If I were actually conservative like they are saying, why would I post hundreds (literally hundreds!) of socialist and pro-union articles? Wouldn’t that negatively affect any conservative views?!
My entire post history is public on this instance and other instances: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/UniversalMonk?page=1&sort=TopAll&view=Posts
The fuck are people thinking? lol
Also, OP isn’t banned from any of my communities, so no idea why people seem to think the post is about me. OP never mentioned me, and I have nothing to do with OP’s post. So no idea why people are bringing me up in the thread.
Yeah got censored on several occasions for shilling third party as a way to deny the regime legitimacy.
DNC komissars were getting big triggered by it but you must have made an extra strong impression for them to go around to bully you lol
Some Lemmy’s have short memory and conveniently forget that this used to happen all the time. Now Lemmy is pretty cool with third-party advocacy. But just 8 months ago, it was ban-worthy to say you were pro third-party! lmao
I never backed down. That made them very angry. They even started a fediverse article titled “I’m calling for the Fediverse to Ban Universal Monk.” Someone posted a link to it in this thread. Even in that though, there was nothing that I did that was ban-worthy.
Seems weird to start an entire post about someone, but ban the subject of the post from being able to reply.
A lot of Lemmy’s like to say they stand for diversity. But they don’t mean diversity of viewpoints.
