This is just a partial list of this POS’s ban and block evasion tactics. Every two to three days, this asshole forces an instance to federate out, wasting their resources, and doesn’t give a shit who has banned or tried to block them. Then a large number from every one of these account is very heavily upvoted. Oh, that isn’t suspicious at all, especially when over 90% of what this fuckwqd posts is the laziest kind of repost (just blatantly ripped from .ml in a likely automated way similar to the the account creation likely is since they will make accounts on instances less than a day old).
I am fucking tired of this shitty, bad faith action and this is proof that it is high time that an instance needs the ability to straight up perma ban a username from any instance. I am aware that PieFed has this feature and right now it seems like something so incredibly basic. One person has the power to make all of Lemmy effectively useless, and it needs to stop being that way immediately.
For other people blocking me, I don’t really care if they do or don’t, it’s just unfortunate unintended side effects for the actual reasons below. If I was really ban/block evading I’d just make up an entirely new user name each time, it would be FAR more effective and longer lasting.
Shopping for a new home instance
Exploring the Threadiverse from different perspectives (the “hot” feed you see can vary quite a bit depending on the instance you’re on lol)
Learning that the bot intended to better interconnect instance comms may not be doing as good of a job
Interconnecting wayward or much smaller instances, a couple of them are missing even the big comms, one I was on the other day I needed to manual have it federate with every comm I posted to
For the creation of comms on fitting instances or just among a regular rotation of general instances so I’m not making a whole bunch on any one instance
Prevention of a reoccurrence of my imposter problem
Trolling .ml (or Why am I cross-posting .ml content?
Can you just make this easy for everyone, then, and create your own instance (which hosts the account from which all your heavy posting will come), and use your other accounts for whatever else you might want to do.
This:
enables users or instances that may want to not interact with you to enact that effectively
allows you to see posts from and post to every instance and community which reciprocates a desire to be connected with you (or at least which doesn’t want to not be connected with you)
All without putting the burden on others for your excessive account creation and posting.
I have no strong opinion about the user in question, but not everyone has the resources to host their own instance. In addition, from my understanding, even those who do might not be open to the burdens that come with doing so (regardless of whether they’re prolific posters).
Hey! It’s that person they’re talking about! Seriously though, I appreciate your constant posting and keeping this site alive.
I do feel like there’s a legitimate complaint to be had that since you’re doing heavy / automated posting, it would be good to pick one and only one instance/user to do it from just to be polite to people who don’t want that, and have it blocked.
I feel like all the weeping and gnashing of teeth that OP is doing isn’t necessary, since you’re obviously not intending it badly, but I do feel like there’s a grain of legitimacy somewhere in there.
Fair, though it’s definitely not automated. Heavy posting yes, automated no.
The absolute irony here is that I actually considered this perspective weeks ago, but I figured since you can block a user in 3 clicks or less straight from the encountered post the burden of anyone out there blocking me would be low and nbd. Ig not lmao
Homie isn’t even using a script‽ Complete respect for the game!
Well, but multiply that by the number of people who for one reason or another you just don’t want to see their content, and then multiply again by the number of instances you have your own accounts on, and I think it’s understandable for people not to want it to be multiplied again by some number of alt accounts for each poster.
It just shouldn’t be on the individual to have to invest effort every day into that kind of thing. If it’s one account, and you just don’t vibe with it, then fine. But if it turns into an ongoing project, I do get the irritation even if the amount of effort you’re being randomly required to activate at random times is quick and trivial. Like if you just got randomly resubscribed to communities sometimes that you had unsubscribed from, and then had to unsubscribe from them again, that’s not a lot of effort to do, but the amount of effort is not the point.
That’s the core of the issue summarized.
