It’s an old tactic to reserve your name on every server.
Comment on I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior.

- Definitely not every post of theirs is upvoted (see links below). Do you have one that you feel like the voting for was probably fraudulent or something?
- He is vocally against lemmy.ml and reposts their content sometimes to encourage people to move off that server. What’s your take on that? Does he repost anything outside of that one example that you know of?
- Do people ban this person? Literally all he does is post, as far as I can tell… like I looked over the user pages 1 2 3 4 5 and it’s just kind of normal stuff to me.
- It’s a little weird that he has so many accounts. @cm0002@lemmy.zip why do you have so many accounts? It is a little weird and makes it more difficult for people who want to block you, I get that part of what OP is saying, just all the rest of it like you’re doing some kind of wild out-of-pocket thing by posting the stuff you post seems all the way out of left field to me.

I have reasons, I’ll just copy paste a previous response:
For other people blocking me, I don’t really care if they do or don’t, it’s just unfortunate unintended side effects for the actual reasons:
Shopping for a new home instance
Exploring the Threadiverse from different perspectives (the “hot” feed you see can vary quite a bit depending on the instance you’re on lol)
::: spoiler Trolling .ml (or Why am I cross-posting .ml content?
I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don’t want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.
Some highlights from the link:
"Don’t worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev lemmy.world/post/30580167
“See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin lemmy.world/post/30673342
.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: lemmy.world/post/18236068
“NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev lemmy.world/post/31595035
General negative sentiment to other instances who haven’t “seen the way” yet ~davel, .ml admin lemmy.world/post/27426510
“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev lemmy.world/post/27352415
And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can’t even put them all here because this comment would be really long.
I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda
On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like “Lemmy? Isn’t that the place with a bunch of tankies?” Or “Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left”. The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team. :::)
Learning that the bot intended to better interconnect instance comms may not be doing as good of a job
Interconnecting wayward or much smaller instances, a couple of them are missing even the big comms, one I was on the other day I needed to manual have it federate with every comm I posted to
For the creation of comms on fitting instances or just among a regular rotation of general instances so I’m not making a whole bunch on any one instance -

Saying every post was admittedly hyperbolic. Saying “many” would have been more appropriate I agree. I am well aware of the vendetta against ml. The point here is that even if someone attempts to ban or block them, the effort is immediately bypassed.
cm0002@lemmy.zip 21 hours ago
None of my accounts have been banned from any instance or comm to the best of my knowledge, with the exception of .ml which they do because they don’t like me calling them put
Evading other users blocking me is not my intention and is just an unfortunate side effect. On the flip side, its not like it take any effort for one to block a user
Zorque@lemmy.world 19 hours ago
A user, yes. But having to do it constantly as you continue to re-create accounts on every instance you can find is another matter.

The way your post was making it out to seem, “forces an instance to federate out” sounded like he was doing something so egregious that he was forcing instances to be defederated, sheesh. Anyway, see my original comment to your post.

You literally wrote “every single post” in bold face lol
jawa22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 day ago
Yeah, I am pissed off and annoyed. I edited the post body.

I did notice the sudden influx of new accounts under the cm0002 name, I wasn’t entirely sure it’s actually the same guy or somebody impersonating him. I don’t see why he’d need that many, and most of the accounts are very new despite him having been around for a long time.
PhilipTheBucket@quokk.au 1 day ago
Oh, that’s a good point. @OP that is one reason for making it not work the way you describe, it makes it super-easy to destroy any user just by making new alts with their same name and then having them be obnoxious. IDK what the fix is really, it is a real problem that people can make alts to do ban evasion.
@cm0002@lemmy.world I should ask also, are all the described alts actually you?
cm0002@lemmy.zip 21 hours ago
Most are, but I have had an impersonation problem in the past, so there are a few imposter accounts mixed in there. This is another reason to have these accounts, prevention of it happening again.

Thats actually what I guessed was happening. Sometimes I make accounts on services I don’t use just to “reserve” the username.
