I like that they’re putting more stuff out on the fediverse and pulling some focus away from .ml.
I just wish I had the time to do the same. We really need more people adding a wider mix of content.
Comment on I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior.

It’s the same thing with sunshine, pugjesus, and dude. I can’t fucking stand it. I don’t want to see the same 4 people posting because they’re on a manic upswing/addicted to the platform. I try to block their accounts but it seems like they have already spun up 4 more to submit from a different spot. It’s awful and devalues lemmy (for me). I would be better off never seeing their posts again.

It's a script/bot, that's how they have time.

It’s not, I have stated many times in the past. The only automation is a push notification I get about a new post

If you have to tell users across your many accounts you’re not a bot, it’s you and not them.

Yeah, me too, I hate when people post things lol
Like every time I see a history picture in the feed I’m like ARGHH FUCK THIS GAH GLU BO and I start chewing the furniture

Are you being obtuse on purpose? You can’t see how creating additional accounts could be annoying?
PhilipTheBucket@quokk.au 1 day ago
Is that what PugJesus is doing? I thought he had one account on lemmy.world and then made one on piefed.social and posts more or less the same stuff from both which is generally pretty benign at least in my worldview.
I do kind of get what you’re saying, sure. Overall I think the problem of people making new accounts to get around ban evasion is a serious problem. I even checked out https://sh.itjust.works/ to see what you’re talking about, and yeah I get it, there’s a bunch of meme posts from cm0002 high up in the feed and I get how that could be annoying if that’s not your thing. I guess I don’t subscribe to the meme communities, so maybe that’s why I’m just befuddled by the idea that someone could be this bent out of shape about those particular users.
That’s what’s confusing to me about it: There are users on Lemmy who go out of their way to be obnoxious and make it difficult for people to block them, or post content that’s malicious in some way. I don’t see anyone on your list as being like that. They’re just posting stuff. IDK, you can also try out scaled sort which aims to give a more balanced feed without the “big name” communities dominating so much.
I guess I do agree with you, actually, about it being a problem overall people making new accounts and making it difficult for people who just don’t want to see their stuff. That’s why I asked cm0002 why he’s made so many accounts, I kind of get that aspect of it, you shouldn’t have to answer anyone’s questions if you just don’t want to see someone’s content. I just don’t get where this vitriol comes from about it. Like in the link I showed, he’s posting memes in a meme community and then people are upvoting them, and so they show up. I don’t get where the “ARGH HE’S RUINING LEMMY MAKE HIM STOP MAKE HIM STOP” part is coming from in that equation.

Same. But I do subscribe to a lot of technical communities where the cm0002 collective reposts, and that can get annoying.
I just don’t get where this vitriol comes from about it.
It’s actually really easy to understand. You said so yourself: ban evasion is annoying.
We are in a “rant” community. The original poster seems annoyed.
You don’t have to understand it at all.
Like, why come to a rant community and be sarcastic and condescending? The ranting is why they’re here.

I don’t have a problem with people posting a lot, but people making over a dozen accounts as frequently as every 2 days pisses me off.

I think people like PugJesus are great because they bring here the content we need?
PhilipTheBucket@quokk.au 22 hours ago
Yes, but in addition to the history memes and other good and unique content, PugJesus also isn’t a tankie, and sometimes even argues vocally with tankies. cm0002 is the same.
I suspect that’s what’s actually behind this: Some kind “Mean Girls” effort to damage someone’s reputation because they are giving wrongthink to the community. Maybe I’m paranoid. At face value, though, the whole thing of “HOW DARE YOU PUT MEMES IN MY MEME COMMUNITY EVERY DAY ARGBLGRBGLRBG I’M SO ANGRY NOW” makes so little sense that I think it’s safe to assume that something else is the reason.
DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 21 hours ago
I think having a specific beef with tankies and going out of your way to aggravate them instead of just putting them on block says quite a lot about a person living in the second rise of fascism
PhilipTheBucket@quokk.au 20 hours ago
I don’t think he’s going out of his way to aggravate them. I think he’s encouraging other people to not interact with them and calling attention to some of their bad behavior. I so think that makes sense. Some people care a lot about the truth, and it’ll really aggravate them to have people being hostile and dishonest all over their social network, posting propaganda, attacking or banning anyone who disagrees with them, just generally being cocks. They’ll want to “fix” it or at least draw attention to it as a problem. That makes sense to me.
Maybe it is a little extra to even care about these weird text-only networks to that extent… but I do get it. It makes sense to me. He’s not just doing it for no reason. And yes, that is important in or out of fascism. Having at least one little electronic network where people can talk about these things and not have to be banned or attacked if they say the wrong thing does seem like an important thing, maybe more so the more that truth is under attack on the outside.
hatorade@lemmy.world 19 hours ago
He spends more trolling Tankies and being a redditor about online debates than he does doing anything about fascism.
But you ask his favorite political party to do more to stop fascism, he’ll ban you from every community he mods, even if you weren’t saying it in any of them.
He hates leftists more than he hates the fascists in office that impact his life then terminally online Tankies who LARP as revolutionaries.
He also scans his username often on Lemmy, so I’m sure before the end of the week he’ll demand you reply to him as he bans you. Or he’ll stalk public discord and matrix servers and then say they’re obsessed with him.
Sludge@sh.itjust.works 18 hours ago
Lol you’re overthinking it. I just don’t want a single user dominating my feed, that’s really all.
PhilipTheBucket@quokk.au 16 hours ago
And you confused not wanting one user to dominate your feed with “this fuckwqd” “this shitty behavior” “shitty, bad faith action” “Then every single post from every one of these account is very heavily upvoted. Oh, that isn’t suspicious at all” “also an Ai simp” “Maybe some kind of probation could help?” “reflects extremely poorly on lemmy/threadiverse in general that this type of behaviour is tolerated at all let alone encouraged” and so on and so on.
You guys need to chill the fuck out lmao. He’s posting stuff. That’s what Lemmy is for. I get the complaint about doing it from different accounts if he’s going to be a heavy poster of this perfectly normal content he is posting, I can agree with that part of it. But you guys can’t be going fucking mental like he’s trying to summon Cthulu in the basement and must be stopped at all costs, and then all of a sudden turn around like “calm down bro you’re overthinking it’s just not that serious” when people are trying to figure out what caused this towering issue about it.
Zorque@lemmy.world 19 hours ago
So flooding communities with low effort reposted content is what we need?
