Editing to delete all of this. I am getting real threats again, and I am not willing to have a complete mental collapse over fucking Lemmy for a 2nd time. Fuck this place. And especially fuck all of the transpose assholes bent on making my life hell. I am deleting my accounts permanently, but will leave the content up. Don’t worry, you won’t need to kill or doxx me, I intend to take care of the former myself.

    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?

      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.
