So, I saw a report from one of my users. They reported:

For the reason:

Unreasonable fighting with everyone in every simple post

I think that’s ridiculous, so I talked with them about it. Posting private communications is frowned upon I guess, but long story short, they weren’t receptive. I’ve decided to ban the account.

IMO the general culture on Lemmy is that users are entitled to their free account and everyone needs to be careful and circumspect about limiting that entitlement in any way, but I don’t see it that way. I don’t think it’s a requirement for me to provide hosting space for anyone who wants to use my stuff as a jumping-off point for abuse of Lemmy’s systems, and isn’t apologetic or receptive when I talk with them about not doing that. The fact that it’s in service of harassing FlyingSquid in particular is just icing on the cake, since my perception is that people like to harass him apparently for no legitimate reason at all (with this as an example).

AITA?

        Yeah, the person that has been banned by countless communities and instances across lemmy- and currently can’t stop getting themselves banned should totally be trusted to tell the truth.

        And would you just look at that? You were banned as recently as less than an hour ago. Looks like even the conservatives can’t stand you.

          And yet, I’m still here. Of course conservatives can’t stand me–I’m not conservative. I don’t believe in the duopoly. Which is why I proudly voted Socialist party and will continue to do. Can’t wait for the next election, so I can vote for a socialist party again.

          And half of those Universal Monks being banned aren’t even me. LMAO They’re trolls who are silly enough to use my name to try to get me banned. But they get banned with that name. So waste of their time.

          But thanks for being so obsessed with me that you keep stats on my name. For some who can’t stand me, you sure to seem to study me a lot.

          Thanks, friend! :)
