Hello. I wasn’t sure where to post about this and a friend directed me here. This is about AskLemmy on the Lemmy.world instance’s newly appointed mod, shinigamiookamiryuu.

For clarity reasons I am going to mention they are also known as “Triagonal” and various other aliases. I’m using a fresh account because the person this post is about is known to dox the people who expose them, like they did with Morothias here

I’m also trans, so I’d prefer it if a person who tells trans people to shoot up schools (see image below) doesn’t have access to my main account.

Here’s a recent in-depth post which goes into detail about this person and includes lots of direct links.

====

Their modus operandi is this:

  1. They’ll do/say reprehensible things.
  2. When people give evidence of those reprehensible things in the form of direct links, they will call it “slander”. When this fails to work, they then try to gaslight everyone by saying “you’re taking it out of context” “you cannot speak for my intentions” , hoping people fall for it. This is a very common tactic they’ve used for years. Don’t fall for it.
  3. They paint themselves as a targeted victim, hoping people (including mods/admins) take their word for it and don’t look into the links that got posted.

There is a person who has an account on Lemmy, who has a 5 year long history of malicious trolling, doxing, catfishing, creepy comments they made to someone they knew was only 14, and telling a trans person to kill themselves after shooting up a school then gaslighting people on Lemmy about it by saying “where did I say anything about a shooter”. Their actions are such that multiple people are chronicling the various reprehensible things they’ve said and done and continue to do. They resort to doxing, impersonating, and harassing anyone who exposes them or isn’t on their side which is why a lot of people who call them out use fresh accounts for their own safety.

Here’s a screenshot of them telling a trans person to “do what the person in Nashville did”. They are referring to the Nashville school shooter, Aiden Hale, who was trans. They also called them a Japanese slur that is equivalent to the f-word

Here’s the creepy comments they made to a DeviantArt forum member who they knew was only 14 years old. They doubled down on it when confronted.

https://www.deviantart.com/comments/18/2617047/4886760940

They have also defended CP.

They raised a big stink on Ye Power Trippin’ Bastards for their mod actions on AskLemmy.

There are a ton of links to things the troll has posted, on their own accounts, such as when they trolled on AskLemmy on Lemmy.world by saying Elon Musk’s Nazi salute “has been debunked though” and proceeded to gaslight commenters in the comments, then locking their own thread. They are highly manipulative and try to paint themselves as a victim who is being targeted for no reason by calling the evidence in the links “slander” and saying “you can’t speak for other people’s intentions”.

Here’s them trolling about how Elon Musk’s Nazi salute “has been debunked though” and then trolling people once those people proved them wrong by gaslighting them about how “you can’t speak for other people’s intentions!”.

They like to portray themselves as an innocent person who is “being targeted for no reason” hoping that mods and admins who are unaware of their history take their word for it without looking into things. They will claim to mods/admins that they’re being doxed because their alias, which the troll publicly posts everywhere, was mentioned in posts exposing them. They do this because they want people who point out what they’re doing to be banned, not because they’re actually concerned about doxing. Please bear in mind that this user has been caught using an AI generated voice trying to pass it off as their own and they have been permabanned from Discord servers for making up excuses when asked by mods to prove they are who they say they are. They are using a fake internet persona.

Recently, they got permabanned from Bulbagarden after the administrators discovered “concerning off-site conduct”

They have been banned and had posts removed countless times for “trolling”

Proof https://lemmy.wtf/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=538316

Another thing this user will do is sign up on websites using the exact usernames of the people who originally exposed them on DeviantArt and then, once called out for this, will troll about being “inspired” by those usernames, omitting the fact they’ve 1. done this dozens of times 2. they only steal the usernames of the people who exposed them on DeviantArt. They’ll also list their country on the impersonation accounts as being from the country of the person they’re impersonating, among other things, like pretending to have DID on an account that’s named after a person on DeviantArt who actually has DID and then manipulate people by claiming people calling them out on this are “denying DID exists”.

They report any posts that aren’t on their side, claiming they’re being doxed because the poster used their alias, an alias they publicly use throughout the internet, and are known for faking many aspects of their persona online.

I apologize for the lengthy post, but is it appropriate for such a person to be a mod on AskLemmy, which is a popular community, given their actions both on Lemmy and off-site?

edit: They’re now in this thread saying Elon Musk’s Nazi salute was debunked and are comparing it to Pokemon. Link

edit 2: gaslighting + sealioning in the comments https://lemmy.wtf/post/16417625/12630325

    Hello mods and admins sorry to bother you but Call Me Lenny/Leni / shinigamiookamiryuu is a next-level transphobic troll with a disturbing history both on Lemmy and off-site. Leni lies that it’s slander (then will try to gaslight people once this fails) but there’s link proof of Leni, who is an adult, grooming a minor (see below), excusing Elon Musk’s Nazi salute here on Lemmy, telling a trans person to kill himself on Discord (while pretending to be an ally in public), doxing people, harassing people and much more, including impersonating people.

    Call Me Lenny/Leni is a mod of Casualconversation on lemm.ee and is also a mod of AskLemmy on lemmy.world. Seems like Leni is very manipulative and twists things to pretend to be a victim, and there’s evidence of Leni using sealioning/gaslighting tactics in this thread. Leni was also featured on Ye Power Trippin’ Bastards and seems to be abusing mod powers:

    https://t.lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/lemmy.dbzer0.com/36342936

    Leni also has a sockpuppet account that is also a mod of those communities https://lemm.ee/u/KaneLivesInDeath@lemmy.world

    Leni said this is an account of theirs here: https://lemm.ee/post/21587707/8543171

    Here’s Leni telling a trans man to kill himself on Discord

    WARNING: Slur + Bigotry

    Comments Leni made towards a minor repeatedly on DeviantArt: (there’s links which prove the screenshotsare legit here (Content Warning: adult being creepy to a minor) https://www.deviantart.com/comments/18/2612773/4879845792

        A few things are to be considered (things which prove the power of seeing both sides through).

        • When it shows a message about me supposedly abusing power, it shows a message specifically about me enacting disciplinary measures against people trying to encourage Luigi Mangione copycats. I would have thought I was serving the TOS by doing that, and still would think I am, and some instances have showed they hold the same thoughts and that I’m not just acting on my own subjective sentiments. It’s based on the whole “what’s it to you” response where their thing later comes into play where they say I was supposedly downplaying Musk’s salute. Though I do think intent matters, my thinking is if they’re both fair, then they’re both fair, and if they’re both “dogwhistling”, they’re both “dogwhistling”. Of note, I don’t encourage deaths in any form, I’m just getting mixed messages on what that necessitates.
        • The “slur + bigotry” part happened two (if not three) years ago. As I explained to the mods of Ask Lemmy, I was fighting with a friend who has DID and BPD because I got fed up with their trust issues and snapped and it manifested like that. Yes, it was transphobic to say that, including using a slur whose origins I didn’t know (it was from One Piece so I thought it was just slang, as why would a kids’ anime have some random slur as a setting name). Feeling guilty immediately afterwards, some friends confirmed to me an apology was the best way to express the sorrow, and I did apologize (the wording about “being told” to refers to not knowing how to manifest it, it doesn’t refer to the apology’s supposed lack of sincerity). In any case, he forgave me, and we have been friends for two years since. Neither of us are the people we were two years ago, and we will both maintain it’s not up to other people to speak for whether the issue has been resolved. He recently came to me for guidance, though, when he was down on himself while someone who is actually associated with the people slandering me (including the person we are responding to) who is still transphobic started going at him (they were in a relationship, with the non-trans boyfriend being unwilling to accept the person who broke up with him is trans). This, sadly fittingly, came after he (the trans friend) defended me while asking why they aren’t focusing on other people in the situation (only to be censored if you look at the original source), showing they don’t actually care about transgender justice, only about whether I look bad in the process or not (because I am the accusers’ grudge).
        • As for the other matter, I think your first sign there’s more to it than meets the eye is the fact the date on one of them is way after the actual date I got removed from their community, with proof of that date both in other interaction histories as well as the community itself. The context for the other two things can be found in the message chains themselves that are kind of linked to. Both were semantic miscommunications (one around whether “date” was always “romantic”, the other in whatever shipping entailed). The people in charge there knew that and so did nothing. I was removed from that community two years later for being too vocal about being pro-abortion when the art community started filling up with Roe VS Wade content.

          I don’t know how guilty everyone is, but I do know that someone’s past, if they keep it in the past like you’re trying to say you’ve done in your quest for improvement, shouldn’t be grounds for ostracism and removal of powers every time they try to attain some kind of goal somewhere. I notice what you describe was explained elsewhere too.

          Davel banned me from the transgender community in Lemmy ML by the way, just for merely interacting leniently with you. I looked up the whole “rule 1” thing, it’s BS. I also notice someone tried explaining the whole thing in the Fedilore section, only for them to literally make a new rule (rule 3) that wasn’t there before just so they had a reason to censor or remove the explanation.

          Back when you tried going to the original commenter for advice and didn’t get any (either as a diplomatic gesture or due to genuinely wanting to talk to someone), I mentioned all signs pointed to them being exclusionary to you, and considering their continued activity there after the interaction, I think it goes without saying now, which I was going to respond to you saying before seeing that Davel (who one of the things I showed is himself anti-LGBT) banned me from the ML communities.

            Davel banned me from the transgender community in Lemmy ML by the way, just for merely interacting leniently with you.

            That’s not what Davel said at all. Putting words in an admin’s mouth isn’t a good look. :| You were permabanned for likely being an alt of Leni’s. I agree with Davel’s reasoning, and you are (seemingly deliberately?) oversimplifying it.

            For everyone else reading through this thread, here’s what Davel actually said: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/23093202/13380377

            Are you re appointing yourself as a mod after you keep getting your mod privileges removed by the other mods, using your @KaneLivesInDeath@lemmy.world account (which you appointed as a mod on your main mod account, Call Me Lenny/Leni), which you admitted on your Call Me Lenny/Leni account is your secondary account?

            https://lemm.ee/post/21587707/8543171

            More accurately put, what Davel means is he thinks you’re some kind of double of me (which makes me wonder if he sees the irony of pinging someone who has been accused, by both others and yourself, of being the equivalent of that of the person I was responding to) and thinks you interacting with me is akin to someone puppeteering with themselves (which makes me cast doubt on either his intent or powers as most admins in most places can numerically see someone’s identification, and his undertones contrast with other admins’) and that this is why he thinks you’re lenient towards me.

              As I mention in this reply here https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/21823992/13383057 Leni has another alt that also has mod privileges, @KaneLivesInDeath@lemmy.world . Leni said in a comment that that account is their secondary account… both Leni and their Kane alt are mods on AskLemmy and Casualconversation and whenever Leni gets removed as a mod in those communities they soon get mysteriously appointed as mods again, perhaps because Leni is logging into their Kane alt and re appointing themselves as a mod.

                This internet troll created a !machiavellianism@lemm.ee community.

                Sidebar:

                This is a community where those who seek to be manipulative or discuss manipulation can come to discuss themselves and ways they bent norms and rules. If that sounds crazy to you, there is a rationale and it isn’t necessarily illegal or immoral, in fact it’s arguably the opposite. Suppose you live in a world where you are everyone’s target, and they’re willing to engage in hypocrisy if it means fulfilling this. You cannot fight back, you are only one individual and you will lose. You cannot leave. You cannot stand to sit through it. What do you do? You find loopholes and put their tactics in such a position that they are fooled or swayed against each other. Imagine there are anonymous reporters who falsely report both SWAT and the CPS on you. Though this example is borderline illegal, as is reporting them on you, a machiavellian is the one who puts them in a position where they meet up in your home and go after each other. Machiavellianism is the martial arts of the mind, the Karate Kid for people who cannot rely on their bodies. Please note that, in order to honor Lemmy, anything that’s actually aligned with criminality will be banned, as will the posters.

                What a liar you are (makes me wonder if those who “upvote” what you say are “alts”).

                Admins ask for multiple names to work in coordination in rule enforcing depending on the instance. I make it no secret who my secondary names are. It also should be made clear “ShiverMeTimbers” is not one of them. I’d be willing to bet life and death on that. Supposing you or someone else extracted data/info from me, you would find what I’m saying to be true.

    Well. I raised this exact question months ago as a hypothetical. I was trying to learn how lemmy works, and despite my arguements that this is a stupid recoarse, here is what I was told.

    Upon a troll taking power as a mod of a popular community, the fediverse won’t be affected, because you can just make a NEW community, and everyone will go there!

    Alright lemmy users who aren’t part of THIS thread, but I still remember from 8 months ago…this is your time to shine! Go make new communities and show us all how your ways are realistic in real world scenarios…and not just, ya know, group jerking the group about unrealistic concepts and thus not a real solution.

    And again, to op and others in this thread, I want to remind you that I’m not being snarky to you. I’m being snarky to those people 8 months ago who argued this exact scenario.

    They claimed the solution is to make AskLemmy2, everybody leave AskLemmy, and now the troll is a mod of a dead community. So yeah, I’m going to be snarky. I knew that was a stupid response to this situation.

    So yeah. I’m full of warrented snark tonight.

      I mean; It does work that way. See the !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone drama. People didn’t like what the mods wanted to do, so they started their own (!onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone) and it currently has more than twice the number of active users.

      So it does work when most of the people give a shit. Problem is, most people don’t.

      I find that stupidity infuriating. It postulates that communities are owned by moderators and not the community and users. That is authoritarian narcissistic garbage. No one looks at or cares who the moderators are when they post anything anywhere, EVER! NEVER EVER EVER!!!

      That is how these places fail to grow most people encountering this stupidity just leave. Mods serve communities just like admin. The altruism of hosting is not some neo feudal ownership of users. I’m grateful for the time and efforts spent and willing to contribute myself in the ways I can to that democracy, but anyone that acts like that means they own me can shove a whole data center and the parking lot up their root directory. Communities have momentum and belong to the users only. ANY mods that do not put users first should be purged immediately. Mods are disposable. As a mod, I am disposable. I do not matter. I am the janitor. Any mod that can not say this should be purged immediately. Anyone with any hint of narcissism is toxic to the community in every instance. Every mod and admin action is harmful and should only ever be applied to those that are causing greater harm like bigots. There should be extreme prejudice by admin at mods that are active and taking actions that were not flagged by members of the broader community. I’ll volunteer as a mod of any of the larger communities if that is what is needed. I trust users to make flags and there are very few actual actions needed here in any community.

        Yup. I wish that it was possible to make it clear to moderators just how little of a fuck the average user gives about them. Because they generally seem to have delusions of grandeur and think of themselves as the most important people around. Which is fucking bullshit because without the users that they dismiss and treat like dirt, they wouldn’t have a platform where they get to inflate their egos in the first place.

        I actually made a post about this elsewhere but I’m gonna mention it here too. The reason the API thing on Reddit didn’t cause every user to come here is because the moderators there made it all about themselves. To the average user, the whole ‘protest’ looked a lot like the people who treat users unfairly whining and crying about the admins treating them unfairly. And I can tell you, there was little to no sympathy for them. All they did was cry about their modding tools while locking entire communities that thousands or hundreds of thousands of people make use of. And they pissed everyone off.

        I know that personally a big reason the API thing didn’t do much for me in my decision to leave Reddit (or not) was because the same people that forced me into using services like reveddit because they like to silently remove people’s comments without notice or a trace, were suddenly asking me for solidarity and to feel sorry for them. And at that time, my feelings towards the situation and the moderators who were crying about it was “go fuck yourselves.”

        the simple fact is that very few people volunteer to moderate online spaces without some incentive, i.e. power over others. the point of this structure is to encourage people to create and moderate communities, because if they can be voted out via mob rule (or even better, hostile takeover), then there’s little reason to invest time and energy into building a group.

They redirect to some of that, though they rejoice in the fact most people do not pick issues apart and give a true critique, instead looking at one person’s warnings and garnering a general idea. This isn’t some dismissal, it has been implied by those who realize their mistake.

        You recently trolled about how Elon Musk’s Nazi salute “has been debunked though” and when people proved you wrong, you proceeded to troll about how “you can’t speak for other people’s intentions” before locking the thread. You even used the “Roman salute” excuse and then went off on a tangent about Japanese anime.

        A portion of your blog post supposedly debunking everything is just spent waffling about Elon Musk.

          Debunked in the sense that, one, what the perception was did not match his intention, and two, a lot of the footage exaggerated his gesture anyways. I don’t rule out that it was reckless and that people are right to feel offended, just that we can’t speak for another person’s intent.

          Something that’s worth noting (or which I don’t see a lot of people talking about) is the fact that the salute, historically, was done with your arm stretched out in front of you, not to the side like in the photograph of him. My style is to analyze things closely and give constructive critique (which is why, when someone mentioned he also shared antisemitic conspiracy theories, I gave some scolding words about Musk and did not continue the same “meh” reaction).

          I remember when I was little and Pokémon came out with the character Registeel and the sprite had to be changed because the pose they chose for the creature just happened to resemble a Nazi salute. It was probably far less likely to be intentional in their case, but it actually looked more like the salute… and then it was memed into oblivion. Musk’s salute in the picture, though technically arguable to be the salute (and it’s possible more to his intentions might come to light), was more like the Team Rocket pose.

                Musk’s salute in the picture, though technically arguable to be the salute (and it’s possible more to his intentions might come to light), was more like [the Team Rocket pose.]

                You’ve claimed to know what his intention was, that the Nazi salute was done differently to the clip of Hitler himself, even though the video shows that they’re almost identical, and then that Musk’s salute was an innocent mistake.

                They sound an awful lot like excuses for a guy who was caught on camera performing a salute that’s all but identical to a Nazi salute that Hitler, leader of the Nazis, performed on video.

          That’s the thing though. The majority of how the claims describe me don’t correctly describe me. There are some that exaggerate, some that take things out of context, and some that deal with guilt I had in the past but which I’ve realized the guilt of, made up for, and learned from. I am not above fault, there’s just no epiphany of fault I feel pending at this time.

          May I remind you the majority of it is years-old? The individual, meanwhile, is one of those known to chase me around trying to make attacks towards me for the sake of it, and them coming onto the scene wasn’t years ago. Whether they’re accurate of a measure of fault or not, if I can’t leave things behind to honor rules in new places without being given disciplinary action for those interactions, what would the point be?

You aren’t actually concerned about being doxxed, you’re going to lie to people that you’re being doxxed while omitting the important part (that the alias is one you publicly use) to try and get this post removed.

        Since people mentioned you using “plausible deniability” you made vagueposts/trollposts about it on Reddit under your NiotaBunny sockpuppet account. https://www.reddit.com/r/IdeologyPolls/comments/1infs5k/would_you_say_the_concept_of_plausible/

            The second biggest Mastodon server is near universally defederated.

            The biggest Pleroma server is also universally defederated.

            You probably don’t know what these servers are, and that’s a good thing because the actual fact is defederating them improves the user experience for everyone else.

            To say this isn’t the case is to spread misinformation, as people who follow such advice will notice they have a much poorer Fediverse experience.

            Until July 2023, the biggest Lemmy server was lemmy.ml. It has now found itself defederated by many servers. If lemmy.ml was too big to defederate, how did it find itself defederated?

            The myth of “big server = undefederatable”—that is misinformation. Big servers find themselves defederated all the time. See also: Gab.

              These are Mastodon servers, the rules of the game change dramatically once you bring in Lemmy and communities hosted on servers. At that point it becomes about active communities holding slices of the pie, as in amount of users participating in communites, size of those communities, and the size of the instance they are hosted on. To compare this situation to Mastodon servers which are user-centric, don’t have community hubs, and are based solely on individuals is to compare apples to oranges, or just trying to mince words.

              Now you seem to think that defederation of lemmy.ml is a big gotcha though they aren’t actually very large all instances considered, and have been shrinking. The bigger test would be defederation of a larger instance like lemmy.world which has been done with wildly different results. Enter Beehaw.org. They defederated lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works back in 2023 during the first Reddit Migration. Prior to that their communities were considered defacto community hubs. However a few weeks after they defederated lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works most of those communities became almost if not entirely dormant, and many users migrated from their instance elsewhere.

              Too big to block very much is an issue, and blocking servers that are too big will kill your communities. Of course there are people who believe that growth, reach, or userbase doesn’t matter. This is kind of a stupid argument because if platforms or communities don’t have any people in them creating content or replying, or voting, they don’t really function at all as a social platform. best case they function like a blog, worst case, they’re no better than writing your comments in chalk on the sidewalk.

                  See you’re trying to mince words here but the point indeed does stand because microblog and community based engagement are wildly different from each other, and have wildly different expectations and stipulations.

                  Actually, lemmy.world is not that big all things considered. It’s big for Lemmy, sure. But Lemmy isn’t that big at all.

                  I don’t really know how relevant that is considering that the competing platforms aren’t federated to us. Honestly just seems like deflection to the main point. A server in the main community based fediverse sphere will suffer lower visits, and lower interaction if they block the biggest servers.

                  Beehaw.org didn’t lose influence because they defederate the bigger servers. They lost influence because they took a heavy-handed approach to things. But if that’s how they want to run things—fine. No one owes anyone else federation.

                  You are correct in that Beehaw’s draconian approach is what ultimately killed them off completely in the end, however defederation of the larger servers did play a bigger role than you’d like to give them credit for.

                  But the fact is, defederation is an option. It’s always an option.

                  I never tried to say or imply it wasn’t an option, because it is, but for big servers that contain more of the pie it’s a bad idea. Just like shooting yourself in the foot or sticking a rod in the spokes of your bike while you’re riding is an option, but they’re bad ideas.

                  This is not a “platform”. It’s a software distribution for an open protocol. And how people choose to use that protocol is up to them.

                  The Fediverse absolutely is a platform whether you like it or not, a decentralized platform but a platform nonetheless. They are free to use the protocols as they choose, but some options are poor decisions that will not favor them presently or in the future.

                  If you want to federate with everyone, that’s fine. If you don’t, that’s fine too. No one is putting a gun to your head and telling you who or what to associate with.

                  Now it really seems like you are misrepresenting my words here, trying to spin me as some anti-defederation troll. When the reality is I said that defederation of large servers and large communities has consequences. The inverse is also true, being banned from servers or communities in that larger slice of the pie has severe drawbacks for your own user experience on the Fediverse.

                  No one, certainly not me is saying you can’t, but there are consequences. It is important people are aware of these consequences. Something people peddling the common Fediverse talkingpoints really tells people. Like the fact that if you’re banned from all 5 of the biggest servers (community count + federated activity) you can basically consider your ability to be heard and participate hosed unless you create a new account with a new name, or if you block all the biggest servers on your server for being big, yours will likely be very unpopular and get very little interaction which kind of defeats the purpose of a social platform in the first place, federated or otherwise.

              In any case, hopefully that troll’s influence across a giant instance like LW is relatively minor in the end. Also, by OP sticking to their SUBSCRIBE feed, they won’t have to deal with that community, either. shrug

                Let’s be real. What OP really wants is for a certain moderator to not have power on a server she deems as influential. Thus, she’s trying to leverage peer pressure in order to make that happen.

                But the moderator can join any server or create her own as well. So trying to remove her perceived influence is basically playing whack-a-mole, and because she herself doesn’t run any servers, peer pressure is an ineffective tool.

                So if the moderator is that objectionable, the reasonable thing to do is either:

                1. block the moderator
                2. block all communities the moderator runs
                3. block LW

                If neither of these options have the desired results, then I’m sorry – that’s just life.

                  Consider that we don’t have the same mechanisms across the FV as exist on Reddit, such that other means of correcting (evidently) terrible decisions (such as making a huge troll a mod on a big community) need to be explored at the very least. I.e., sometimes I think it doesn’t help in the end to run away from this kind of problem, and none of us should really want LW to drift towards an abomination such as HexBear, right?

        Could you point where here I have trolled?

        The fact it’s slander aside, are people forgetting that the stuff mentioned details things from long ago, and then applying that as an inherent detail of the individual (or something automatically applicable to them, wherever they go)?

        I haven’t broken a single TOS rule here or any community rules in this community. The person laying accusations against me has broken multiple.

      I mean, they did just come by just to attack me. I’ve dealt with this everywhere (not just in the fediverse) and they joined literally yesterday after their previous name (they admit that’s them) was confronted.

      I did not downplay it, I simply expressed doubts someone intended to do it.

      If someone goes to threaten someone and doesn’t show their weapon but says they have one, and I doubt they actually have one, by your logic, am I downplaying their kind of violence?

          What I said was I wasn’t going to go through with a specific stance such as mine anymore. And I will continue that promise. Simply talking about what an argument is about is not the same as progressing it. However, it should be mentioned that all promising that to the rule enforcer led to was their comment and my promise getting mass thumbs down, the discussion not dying down, and admins (which the rule enforcer who weighed in isn’t one of), both of World and my instance, informing me they don’t stand by everyone else here (and that I have not, at this time, brought upon any reason to be banned from any instance), even though they can’t or won’t do anything about the OP.

    This campaign feels like the sort of shit talked about on a true crime podcast or politicians use to try and ban social media.

    For your own sake please try to distract yourself with something more productive or fun for a couple of weeks and not think about this.
