A few days ago, I asked if we could talk about things that happen outside the fediverse. I got a lot of different answers ranging from “yes” to “no” to “it depends”. Hunting someone down somewhere and saying “ah ha I found Zezima on X” isn’t the kind of thing I meant. This is.

That moment when an admin outright makes it absolutely clear if you read the room (those who remember past messages will be able to do that) that they’re going around trying to get back at people and further complicate things for them, the instance in question being in spiteful response to a promotion. The incentive to weigh in is thus pre-existing, plus I am fediversally relevant because I have been accused of being them (not that I’m the only one), so I get the contagion.

It’s a bit much.

      It’s not even true. That’s one of the targeters in question and they repeat that everywhere. Look at their registration date.

        Registration date doesn’t really matter if that person wasn’t on Lemmy and wanted to comment after seeing this post.

        Anyway, seems like there is a lot of drama spanning across DeviantArt, Reddit, documents on YouTube and Dailymotion videos.

        I don’t know what to do with this. You do a good job modding [email protected] , that’s what I’m mostly interested in.

          Thanks. People sadly don’t use critical investigation which would show such documentation as false (or, more accurately, a mix of falsehoods, exaggerations, and issues already long dealt with, with actual faults of mine currently falling under the last one because time passes). Rule enforcers typically know this (with one exception), it’s always onlookers who don’t.

          If I may, having videos instead of text format isn’t really the best way to convey your message

              I have zero opinion on any of this. I just looked at the modlog and wanted to point out that most of the bans are from .ml

              It’s basically a right of passage to get banned from .ml so I wouldn’t take those as proof of character one way or the other.

              A person on DeviantArt wrote up an extensive run-down of this person if you want to go down a rabbit hole.

              Definitely a rabbit hole. No time enough for now.

              If you want to know why I locked the discussion you mentioned, read the community rules. You say I falsely paint myself as a victim as if your whole existence here, which is a day old, doesn’t 100% consist of attacks towards me. All the things you claim I am denying guilt of here that actually happened did so years ago, all of which have been compensated for in some way. Had you accused me of some of them at the time, you would have seen me oblige to what you say I haven’t done, but here you all are threateningly following me everywhere trying to hold every single thing I’ve ever said or done against me because of your little grudge, all while making claims that I have been removed from places I haven’t actually been removed from.
