Its a shame because they’re prominent voice on lemmy. Good on the admins for not tolerating this. I don’t understand the point of targeting a person you don’t like on the internet just because they said something that upset you and spamming their post with downvotes. If you don’t like someone block their ass and be done with it. I agree with the perspective that its harassment (and an incredibly petty ineffective form of it at that)
He has literally said he wants to start fights online because he finds it fun, and that hell never stop harassing members because he doesn’t like them.
When did he say that? Are you sure he didn’t say some totally different and more sensible thing that you’re choosing to wildly exaggerate into that?
I can actually pretty much guarantee that that’s not what he said. I guess I missed some LW politics community drama that he was involved with, so sure maybe my side was wrong initially, but I’m pretty confident that particularly the second part of that is just some kind of trumped-up misinterpretation of what he actually said.
The first part was like ~6 months back, the second part was eariler this week.
When I called him out for stalking my profile, he responded within the hour on a thread that was 10 days old. I didn’t say his name, I just documented his actions on that single post and comment, going back to my account to downvote anything I agreed with.
He then said anytime I “said something stupid” he checks my account and goes over it to downvote me. I don’t even do that and I dislike him. Check his modlog, it was one of the things he said before a mod removed it.
He also said (According to several other users) he will never forgive the “protest voters” so he’ll fight them online.
Except that’s also a lie
Literally the opposite of what I said, but I know you can’t help yourself. Without lying about your favorite poster, after all, what would you have left?
Okay, so something totally different than what you said lol.
You’re welcome to dig up the actual statements and show them to me, to shed some more light. If you don’t feel like doing that, then I don’t feel like doing it on your behalf and we can conclude things there.
I’ll try to go through his account of thousands of comments in the last few months, and if I find something before I leave for work I’ll let you know. Is there a way to search someone’s entire account without just Ctrl+F?
Search
Thank you, I’ll try to do that once I’m done prepping my crockpot and if I have time before work.
Already sourced the one from months ago that you claimed - in fact, I even used the crop you used when talking about it previously (of course, it didn’t actually say what you claim it did), so all you have to do is find the more recent comment. :)
I’m shocked
I’m really not trying to get drawn into giving this whole nonsense more energy than it deserves, but it is absolutely wild to me that it’s so common within this thread to think:
Like if you’re starting from first principles and picking the one that should be complained about I know which one I would pick.
Like I said, it’s whatever. I’m an old hand online. I grew up on forums and imageboards, this kind of drama is old hat. I just want to have it clear and on record from me that it’s bullshit when I see it brought up. Beyond that, it’s not much more than irritating or amusing, depending on how pathetic any given attempt is.
