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.

      Man it’s crazy how many people have no ability to self-reflect here

      You can’t see why blocking a person could be useful? Yikes.

      This is an excellent way to find people who don’t contribute though! A honeypot for jerks.

      And it would be so fucking annoying if you just created more accounts so I had to run into your ass again

      Keep the downvotes coming! I see you, I wish you’d comment so it’s easier to block the useless people. Cowards gonna be cowards though

        Does this mean I’m blocked? Looks like some gifts just wrap themselves!

        And for the record, LMAO….

        If I were going to ban evade, I don’t think I’d use the same name. Only people stupid enough to think this is a ban evading tactic would be dumb enough to do that. So trust me when I say, if you end up seeing me again, it’ll be under a different tame if I were the type to care enough about you to bother.

          Which is why it’s so easy to ban people for being bad at attempting to evade/circumvent a ban. Obviously it’s harder to catch someone who’s smarter about it. You just try your best though.

          The bare minimum is doing something about the lazy evasion attempts. though.
