UniversalMonk

I’ve seen them posting in communities and instances they have previously been banned from.

Name one. Provide examples. Lots of admins talk to each other. So let's see some proof of what you have seen.

The vast, vast majority of my posting is to my own communities. But I'm totally fine with you showing some screen shots of where you have seen me posting to places I am banned from with--time stamps to show that they were posted AFTER any ban. PhiliptheBucket seems to have every timestamp of everything I am posting and even he is not accusing me of what you just have.

So give me an example of where you have seen me posting to a banned instance and/or community AFTER I was banned.

I’m almost certain they are ban evading with their alts.

But you just said you've seen me posting in communities and on instances I've been banned from. Now you are saying "almost certain."

So which is it? Did you see me like you said above or are you "almost certain?"

And if you are so sure of it it, did you report those to the admin? And do you have examples? Let's have a look.

I keep the same fucking username. So it would be pretty hard for me to post in communities that I'm banned from. Seems like the mods could spot it right away.

If wanted to ban evade, wouldn't it be easier to just come up with a random name and then post wherever I wanted?

And again, guys. I am NOT the subject of OP's original post. This is all off-topic. This thread is not about me. Let it go!

I don't want this to hurt your feelings, but I actually don't care about you enough to harass you. My reply in this thread wasn't harassment by any sense of the word. I didn't even know it was you.

You are a prolific poster. One glance at your profile shows how much you are all over Lemmy. So yeah, our paths are gonna cross.

I have never called you names. I have never sent you harassing DM's. We've only talked in public forums. And even then, we haven't actually interacted that much.

Think of it like this. Let's say your goal was achieved and I was banned from across the fediverse.

Do you think that would make me disappear? No, I'd just create a new name, and come back. (Which by the way, would officially be the definition of ban-evasion, unlike your definition.)

But you wouldn't know it was me.

So an example from that scenario: Let's say I pick a news name of BobSmithy. I see this post. And I reply with. "PTB in my opinion. It seems banning someone for one post is a bit extreme.Totally your call, but that’s how I see it when other mods do actions similar as to yours."

Ok, you'd read it, shrug, move on. Not that big of a deal.

That's the exact fucking thing I posted. But you saw it was from the big bad evil "UNIVERSAL MONK!!!" and you lost your shit.

You gotta stop thinking about me so much. It's making you crazy. You're talking about yesteryear of dial phones, and philosophy of pixels and search query and wanting to make long legal history notes of how what I am doing is targeting you.

Look how many posts I make. How many have been about you or to you? Maybe 5 or 6? And you think that's targeting you?

Also, just so you know, if you all wouldn't have fought soooo fucking hard to get me banned on .world, we wouldn't have this problem. Because I'd still be on one instance. One block and you'd never hear from me.

But you and a few others decided to get soo vocal and scream to the moderators that now I never know when I'll get banned, so I have to spread my name out. Which is what the point of the fediverse is.

I posted a reply to a PUBLIC POST that you made to this community. And the reply wasn't personal. And it followed the rules of this community.

Not only that, but you listed with glee that I was banned for lemm.ee. And you've listed all my other bannings. But I have no idea if you have been banned from any instance. Cuz i don't look you up. And I don't care.

But you certainly look me up. And post stats.

Think about that: I don't know about your post times, or servers, what comments have been removed or where you have been banned from.

Because I don't stalk you. Yet you know all that info, and post it. And this isn't your first time posting my stats.

Think about that, friend.

I'm not leaving Lemmy. If banned under this name, I would come back under something else. (Before you all message the poor mods, don't convict me of thoughtcrimes before they happen.)

So for your mental health, just ignore me, don't react to me, or comment about me. It's not healthy to obsess so much.

I have no ill will toward you. I will try to not reply to you unless you ask me to. But dude, you post more than I do, you're in almost all the communities I'm in.

How am I block evading? It's not up to me to check on who has blocked me and who hasn't.

Just ignore and or block me and move on. I'm not sure why you all are so obsessed with me.

Just ignore me! And if you don't want to interact with me, then don't comment about me or reply to me. And tada! Problem solved.

What difference does it make what my name is? If I were to actually ban evade, and used a different screen name, the comment I made would still be the same.

That user posted to this community asking for opinions. I gave mine as it fits into this community's rules. I didn't even check the name of the poster.

I read the OP. I replied per the sub rules. That's it. Move on, guys.

It's just Lemmy. I promise the world isn't going to end because of any of my posts. Most people outside a few raging posters don't even know who I am. As has been shown in the threads where you all try to ban me and users say, "I've never heard of Universal Monk until now."

The OP just posted an entire essay in this very thread about me using server times, SQL queries, and other statistics, and his theory about my motivations. I don't even know what any of that means. I definitely don't think of you guys that much. He says he blocks me, but he keeps a dictionary of statistics on me? Seriously? Go outside, guys.

If you all want people to stop talking about me, then you all should stop talking about me. Easy.

You guys drive the mods crazy yelling about me. Just ignore me when you see my comments. It ain't that hard!

All these comments about me are about to be removed anyway because they are off-topic, plus I'm not even the subject of the original post for the thread!

No argument there. My opinion is pointless. But it's Lemmy, so aren't all the opinions of all of us sorta pointless when ya think about it?

Dude, I didn't even notice the name of the person posting. I just replied in the thread.

I have no idea what names of mine that you have blocked or not blocked. I've actually kept the same username so that people who want to block me can easily block me.

You posted in a public forum that I subscribe to. And I replied to the post, in the spirit of the community, and according to the community guidelines.

There is no deceit on my part.

This isn't ban evasion. I'm not evading a ban because I haven't been banned from this community.

And besides, if I did use an alt name and proceeded to post the EXACT SAME COMMENT as my original comment, then you wouldn't have a problem. Yet it would still be me commenting, and you wouldn't know or care!

If you don't want people on Lemmy to comment on your posts, then don't post to a Lemmy community.

Definitely PTB! I gotta say tho, I hate most acronyms. lol

PTB in my opinion. It seems banning someone for one post is a bit extreme.

Totally your call, but that's how I see it when other mods do actions similar as to yours.
