Comment on I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior.

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.

  Is cm0002 banned somewhere? Are they using new accounts to evade those bans in places they’ve been banned?
  
  But, like, we are in a “rant” community. The original poster seems annoyed.
  
  You don’t have to understand it at all. This isn’t yptb.
  
  I do feel like if your “rant” is very specifically directed at some other specific person, and also seems factually untrue in a few different respects, then it’s worth asking some questions. Just because it’s a rant doesn’t mean it’s exempt from people having a reaction.
  
  Why come to a rant community and be sarcastic and condescending?
  
  Because it’s my way of making a point. In some societies, when someone aims criticism and vitriol at another human being, other people are allowed to defend that person or ask questions and see if it’s justified.

    “Hey this guy’s a big piece of shit. I can’t even tell you what a piece of shit, I’m so angry, he’s total garbage, he’s the absolute worst and fuck him, we need to get rid of him.”
    
    “What? I’ve never found this specific person you’re going after to be a piece of shit. Why do you say that? (specific questions and sarcasm)”
    
    “Woooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww”
    
    You seem lovely lol

    Edit: I knew eventually this would get downvoted more than upvoted! The assholes always come out of the woodwork on social media, it’s simply a matter of time.
    
    “It’s not simply a matter of more eyes eventually reading and disagreeing! It’s just a bunch of assholes brigading!!1!”
    
    That’s actually pretty cute. Do you really feel this way? My options are after with you, or be an asshole? Mark me down as an asshole, then.
    
    See how you got downvoted for being condescending?
    
    No, you don’t. Cos we’re all just assholes, in here.
