An… appreciation post…that’s a nice change of pace lmao
Thanks! I’ll keep doing what I can! 🫡
You seem to have a lot of German fans from feddit.org and .de instances. Make of that what you will.
Shouldn’t he be defederated from DB0 then? @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com
They are banned from many instances. That is why they keep making new accounts.
Ig you guys have just resorted to pure lying LMAO
None of my accounts have been widely banned and I haven’t made a new account in a long time, just cycling through the same ones on smaller instances lol
widely
So you are baned
Your entire shtick is being banned from .ml good to know that is not real then.
You: >They are banned from many instances
Me: >No I’m not, just the authoritarian instance of .ml
You: >Ah ha so you admit your banned rabble rabble rabble
Resorted to bad faith arguments in 1 reply LMAO
Yes I’m banned from .ml, that’s what tends to happen when you stand against authoritarians; bans, censorship, jail etc.
So you are banned. And you are clearly banned for spamming the word tankie in every thread and flame-posting across the fediverse.
You can keep complaining about .ml but they have never banned me for being antizionist. feddit.org has.
Ironically those are your biggest allies.
Maybe it is time to not base your entire identity about spamming the word tankie everywhere. Your allies are looking much more dubious.
Do you know its the same person or do you assume it? I mean I could like literally create a cm0002 account right now.
I try to block those spammers as soon as I detect them.
Seriously? Dude is a spammer with like 20 accounts. Every time I block him he pops back up with a different one. Obnoxious as hell.
For cm0002 is a river to their people!
B-B-But they have a gazillion accounts and it hurts my fee-fees becoz reasons!!!
/s
Don’t know where cm0002 appeared, not sure if he’s wearing a cape, even, but all I know is that he’s the hero we need.
IMHO he’s spamming and evading bans with his 10 accounts. Not worth it.
I just crosspost the post from 1 .ml comm to 1 relevant non-.ml comm maintaining the crosspost as best I can so that it collapses (for people with supporting clients at least)
Not really fitting the common definition of “spam”, Users like Chobeat are probably closer to an actual spammer since when they post to the technology -.ml comm I can’t crosspost it anywhere because they literally sent it to just about every “technology” comm on the Threadiverse LMAO
but even then I wouldnt consider it actual spam
I’m also not evading bans, my accounts are not banned anywhere to the best of my knowledge (well except for .ml, but that’s a given lol) and I just rotate through them over and over again. I haven’t made a new one in a long time.
In fact, I’ve recently added a listing of accounts used for this crossposting purpose to the bottom of my megathread here if you wish to block them and I’m updating the bios on each account as I use them to include a similar blurb for people
10?? I’ve blocked at least 20 cm0002s?! And they keep coming.
Tbf, some of those are other people mad at them.
Also it’s helpful that they are all labeled the same, unlike the traditional ban evasion tactics using different names to obscure their true origins.
Weird. I wouldn’t have expected that. But yes, according to their megathread in the sister comment, about 5 on my blocklist are unaccounted for.
Anyone can impersonate anyone here at any time, it is one of the gaping holes in the Threadiverse that keeps content creators with some actual fame from wanting to come here.
On Mastodon, Friendica, Pixelfed and if I’m not mistaken also Bookwyrm you can verify yourself by using your own website (if you have one). You can also do it for free if you have an account on a bunch of services such as Gravatar.
I haven’t seen anything like this on Lemmy fwiw.
I mean to also be fair here, that’s not a unique feature of the Fediverse. We currently have some drama (in Germany) about people impersonating people on X. The commercial platforms even earn money doing the same thing. And it’s very clear in the prelude to a potential court case, they have no intention to stop this. They’re currently doing some really weird shenanigans so the lawyers can’t serve any papers or mail.
Not sure how it is on other platforms. It’s been a while since I helped people to get rid of unwanted content on social media. But it was never easy. And once you do it for privacy reasons or mild doxxing, you’re basically screwed. Because these days they’ll all make you pull down your pants to prove it’s legitimate. So you basically end up doxxing yourself to protect your private information. I mean what’s more likely to happen is, they don’t even listen. But I’m not really up to date with that any more. Maybe they changed and now they do? But I doubt it. It’s just how the internet operates.
Fair. Separately from the actual facts is the feelings that people have where e.g. a blue checkmark means something other than mere money, which is a marketing gimmick.
Can you back that up?
no but this boi can
Still haven’t figured out why anyone would want to block him. About the only thing that I can see people disliking is that he’s anti-lemmy.ml, but I agree with him on that - and either way, that isn’t “spamming”.
Well my reason was, it’s too close to botspam. And just re-posts (sometimes of re-posts). I rather have genuine conversation on an internet platform.
Most of it will be low engagement. I’ll see a question, and take 10mins out of my day to anwer it, just to find out I wasted that time, because OP never had that question. And the real OP never sees my answer. Cm0002 improved, though. They cut down on forwarding questions, and they’re transparent it’s just forwarded content, these days. But ultimately, it’s the same thing with other content. I’ll see a post about RISC-V and interact. But it’s just a waste, because it’s fabricated and I’ll never see any responses.I think it’s particularly bad in niche topics. The few people actually wanting to discuss RISC-V (just an example) are drowned in noise news-posts by someone who isn’t even interested in discussing topic, they just push a political agenda there. So it kinda displaces the little genuine conversation we have.
And after wasting some time here and there by commenting into the void, I decided to suppress those posts and use my time to interact with actual people who have notifications turned on, read my stuff, teach me something or who have a genuine question in need of some advice.
I guess this is somehow related to the question whether we (just) want many posts here. Or have good conversation in the comments. To me it seems the former doesn’t really lead to the latter. Some techniques are even detrimental to that cause. And I think this is one of those cases… At least it kills my engagement. I agree on the broad idea, though. I’ve long moved away from lemmy.ml communities. I just wish we had a bit more original content here, and not just 80% re-posts of what other people posted on Reddit, what they posted on lemmy.ml…
Thanks for taking the time to explain it. That does sound like a real issue.
If you haven‘t blocked .ml communities it can be pretty annoying
