CLM - Clueless Mod. He had no idea what you actually meant.

If you don’t like how the ship is directed you can always change ship and sail the same ocean.

Great analogy for the fediverse! People used to give me grief for being on more than one instance, but I had to jump around a bit before I found the places and m@tes that fit my ideals.

Lemmy does love going after thoughtcrime though

I’m going to fedex to print these out biz card size and hand out at my city’s gathering. But I doubt if even 10 people show up here. People around my parts don’t do shit. lol

Way better! Thank you!

I’d like to laugh, but when I was really new I probably would have asked the same question. I remember back in the day, it was fucking hard for me to even figure out how to work with torrents.

Doesn’t matter, because I’m not musk or goldwater. Maybe they are the same guy, I don’t care. OP only mentioned the musk mod, so again, off-topic.

Thank you! Why would I create two personas that post from totally opposite sides of the political spectrum? If I were actually conservative, why would I post literally hundreds of pro-socialist, pro-union, pro-piracy, pro-anarchism articles? Pro-socialist book reviews. etc. I’m working on getting socialist party more involved in my local union activities. I was part of a union my entire career.

So my motive is to be secretly conservative while I publicly post articles all over Lemmy that are anti-capitalist, pro-socialist, pro-union? Even using Lemmy-logic, I don’t get how people think that I am some super conservative operative. lol

And to your point, even if all the nonsense about me were true, anyone can look at my post history and see that all I do is post anti-capitalist, pro-socialist, pro-union stuff now (always did, but still…), so shouldn’t people be happy they have converted such a terrible conservative to their side? My post history is public, and dates are on there too.

is a massive noose around the neck of people who are neurologically atypical

What does this mean? I’m not being a dick, I genuinely would like to know what you are referring to. Can you explain that a bit more.

I think you’re saying that it’s already difficult enough for neuro-atypical people to process things, so that when you see someone you think is being intentionally annoying, it frustrates you. But I’m not sure how that relates to this thread. Are you talking about shitposting or something else?

You don’t have to explain if it’s upsetting to you or anything. Or DM me if you prefer to keep it private. (I’m being serious, not sarcastic)

I don’t think Lemmy is a shit platform. But it does amaze me how many people don’t tune it to the content they like. That’s one of the great things about Lemmy!

I don’t understand why so many people keep going to communites they hate. Block that shit and move on.

Yeah got censored on several occasions for shilling third party as a way to deny the regime legitimacy.

Some Lemmy’s have short memory and conveniently forget that this used to happen all the time. Now Lemmy is pretty cool with third-party advocacy. But just 8 months ago, it was ban-worthy to say you were pro third-party! lmao

but you must have made an extra strong impression for them to go around to bully you

I never backed down. That made them very angry. They even started a fediverse article titled “I’m calling for the Fediverse to Ban Universal Monk.” Someone posted a link to it in this thread. Even in that though, there was nothing that I did that was ban-worthy.

Seems weird to start an entire post about someone, but ban the subject of the post from being able to reply.

A lot of Lemmy’s like to say they stand for diversity. But they don’t mean diversity of viewpoints.

Again, if I were conservative, then why would I post literally hundreds and hundreds of pro-socialist and pro-union artilces? What would be the point? Not money. Not love. Not promotion. So what why would I bother to post so many pro-socialist, pro-union, anti-capitalist articles?

And if I am so conservative, then why would I create an alt musk name to post conservative articles, since everyone thinks I’m conservatve anyway.

What narrative has changed? In my Politcs Unfilitered subs, I’ve posted news articles from all political spectrums. I’ve never changed my attitude that people should make their own opinions, but I’ve always advocated third-party.

Used to be green party, then I found socialist party to better fit my world view. I’ve never hidden that fact or changed my narrative. If I saw an interesting news article, I’d post it, regardless of viewpoints. I didn’t write the articles–remember when I would get comments removed for saying that? lol

Blaze, you have been here since the beginning. You KNOW that I have always said and done this.

So let’s jump on the Lemmy logic bandwagon for a sec: If I’ve post conservative articles, I MUST be conservative–according to Lemmy. Ok, ok, so using that logic…

I post way more socialist articles (and even socialist biographies and socialist book reviews). So using the same logic as above, doesn’t that mean I MUST be socialist? Same logic.

So how does that work? Am I conservative because I have posted conservative news articles or am I socialist because I have posted pro-socialist news articles or am I anarchist because I have posted pro-anarchist articles? Walk me through your logic here.

If I were really conservative, then why would I post literally hundreds of socialist and pro-union articles? It’s not for money–no one reads Lemmy and why would trump pay me to post pro-socalist and pro-union stuff? It’s not for love–as we can see in this thread, everyone hates me. It’s not for self-promotion–I don’t have anything to sell.

Yep, I used to be on there. That brings up a great point though; I’ve posted political posts of all angles to that sub, including conservative articles.

So why would I create two personas that post from totally opposite sides of the political spectrum? If I were actually conservative, why would I post literally hundreds of pro-socialist, pro-union, pro-piracy, pro-anarchism articles? I have posted way more socialist articles than anything else. What would be the point of that if I were really conservative? Wouldn’t that be counter-productive?

tl;dr: If I wanted to post conservative articles–and I have–I wouldn’t create alt conservative personas to do it. Look up dates. This has been my main account for long time: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/UniversalMonk?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts

Before the US election, I was openly pro–third party. I supported the Green Party, then switched to a Socialist party. At the time, Lemmy was hostile toward anyone not backing Biden and Harris. If you mentioned third-party voting, people called you a traitor or a Russian plant. Since I didn’t vote for Biden, they assumed I was voting for Trump—even though I actually voted for Socialist party.

Lemmy’s more open to third parties now that both major parties have shown their flaws, but the old ‘UM is a conservative’ smear stuck. Never mind that I voted socialist and have posted hundreds of articles on socialism, anarchism, piracy, and third-party politics.

If I were actually conservative like they are saying, why would I post hundreds (literally hundreds!) of socialist and pro-union articles? Wouldn’t that negatively affect any conservative views?!

My entire post history is public on this instance and other instances: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/UniversalMonk?page=1&sort=TopAll&view=Posts

The fuck are people thinking? lol

Also, OP isn’t banned from any of my communities, so no idea why people seem to think the post is about me. OP never mentioned me, and I have nothing to do with OP’s post. So no idea why people are bringing me up in the thread.

What’s the evidence these are the same people?

I was thinking more about this today. Why would I have two completely different personas on opposite sides of the political spectrum? Why would I post hundreds of socialist and pro-union articles, then suddenly switch and post conservative content under another name? What’d be the point?

Why would I go to all the trouble of sharing so much socialist, anarchist, third-party, and pro-union material if I were conservative? If I wanted to post conservative stuff, I could just do it on my main—and I have, occasionally, when I found something interesting.

DMusk doesn’t even post in places I have been banned, so “ban evasion” doesn’t hold up as an excuse either. I wish I would have made these points in all my discussions yesterday.

I am reducing the number of accounts I use thanks to Piefed multicommunities.

But you had a lot of accounts just recently. Your current profile lists 5 names. So why ok for you, not ok for me? Not counting all the troll accounts that aren’t even me. I’ve reduced the number of accounts I use too. This one, sht.justworks (which isn’t that active), and a piefed account (feddit.online).

your profile right now:

Brah, I get how you’re feeling, but your post will not be welcomed here. I commend you for trying though.

Always wait for the complaint before ya defend yourself. Always.

Why shouldn’t I insult you?

Brah, I was all for giving you the benefit of the doubt till you said this. Lighten up.

Nah, because any mod that didn’t subscribe to groupthink would get banned by you all.
