Is it against the rules of most sites to expose a troll by mentioning an alias they use, even though it's been proven that said troll lies about everything about themselves?

    A newly appointed moderator of AskLemmy on Lemmy.world is a malicious troll with a 5+ year long history of trolling, doxing, telling trans people to shoot up schools and kill themselves, defending a Nazi, impersonating people and catfishing.

      not gonna read all of that, so might ask questions, that are burried there somewhere, bear with me.

      why can’t you block asklemmy and this guy and say fuck it?
      he seems to be an asshole and what i saw from him got downvoted a lot. so why bother?

      my granny used to say: “the angrier you get, they become happier”

    Do you see what I mean now?

    Prove them wrong in one place and they start up in another.

  Man, some of you guys wouldn’t last a second on the internet like 10 years ago (not even that long ago at all). Just block them, ignore it, and/or move on

    Yup. Some haven’t had their moms allegedly fucked by someone on the internet, and it shows.

    I know right? Block and move on. It’s not the responsibility of the site to keep you from seeing him. Have a little self-esteem and handle it yourself.

    The troll is a mod of AskLemmy on Lemmy.world, and they locked their own thread after they trolled about Elon Musk’s Nazi salute having “been debunked though” and then gaslighting commenters about how “you can’t speak for other’s intentions”

  Depends. Do you like vigilantism? Then go ahead. If not, try reporting it to the moderators first.

      Thanks for the clarification. Yeah, I sometimes can't differentiate between our drama here, and some 8 year olds. I'm not sure. I'd say things like power abuse, or harassing or attacking other users counts as bad. The Musk example is just them proving to be an idiot. But idiots aren't uncommon here... I dunno. Thanks for raising awareness. I don't think it's that bad but I'm not reading through it all at this point.

      Concerning your initial question (and now that I know a bit more detail)... I think it'd still be wrong to doxx them. Like publish their real name. But if they have an alt account, and you see them using that to do bad things... I'd say it's okay to call them out on that. Mainly since they're a high profile person here, wield power in one of the largest communities. So they have to abide by higher standards. But you can't leak their IP address or real name or something for just being a liar, that's just too much and a different level.

  How do you distinguish between fake personal information and real personal information?

  source
• partial_accumen@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  but this troll has gotten posts exposing them taken down because the posts reveal personal information,

  Where did the “personal information” come from if not from the troll’s posts? If it was from the troll’s posts, then why would it be taken down if the troll themselves posted it elsewhere? Is it doxing if the person being doxed is the one consenting to posting the personal information themselves?

  • Joeyowlhouse@lemmy.wtf ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    All the info came from the troll’s posts, that are publicly available. Also this isn’t a normal troll, but a malicious troll who is transphobic, defends Nazis, tells people to kill themselves, etc.

    The troll in question is highly manipulative and try to paint themselves as a victim who is being targeted for no reason, but the links in the description of this video say otherwise. Those links go to comments the troll posted on their own accounts. They gaslight, guilt trip, and use other abusive tactics to get away with their malicious trolling.

      I’m not reading your links for your specific troll because I just don’t need a troll to take up that much of my attention. However, your question is framed on any troll, so I think your question is valid and am fine discussing that.

      All the info came from the troll’s posts, that are publicly available.

      When mod/admins were presenting with the evidence that the troll performed self doxing, are you saying the mods/admins were fooled by the troll and took action they thought they were protecting a victim?
