and make fun of me for being a recovering alcoholic

Before I say anything else, I wanna say sorry that happened to you. I've personally seen people struggle with alcohol addictions in my inner circle, and the fact that someone would use that to attack you, makes me sick. This pisses me off way more than all the other random shit I see on Lemmy combined.

Please stay strong, and don't give those fuckers a chance to knock you down bully you out of here.

I support you in your modding efforts as well, brother. You're appreciated here.

I mean that. I'm not saying it as Universal Monk, I'm saying it as a person. I appreciate that you are here.

Even tho I disagree with most here and think we should defed them, the fact that there is a vote and that you all listen to the vote, is what makes this instance so freakin' amazing!

Holy shit, this thread. What the fuck is happening to Lemmy?! Shit is getting crazy. Now we even have extremist anti-AI people. Are they just looking for shit to be angry and extreme about?! What shit are they gonna be mad about, tomorrow?

I love AI. I get that some people don't, but some of them are starting to become the fuckin Unabomber about it. lol

AI has made my life better and way more fun.

Stay mad, Luddites.

Wow, besides being a whiny asshole, you're also transphobic. Fuck you.

Edit: Glad you're banned.

Agreed. Not only that, but any 'investigation' would be everything we already know. "Oh, Universal Monk posts a fuckton and some of his links are to news articles that annoy people. And he refuses to change his mind about shit. The fucker."

Ok, cool!

I also posted socialist anarchist content in the past. And to copypasta what I said elsewhere in this thread: Using the logic a lot of people on Lemmy seem to apply: if I'm “conservative” just because I’ve posted links to conservative articles… then, by that same logic, shouldn’t I also be considered socialist and anarchist because I post so much socialist and anarchist content?

Not to mention I have posted way more socialist/anarchist content than links to conservative news articles.

The truth is, I'm not a fascist; I'm a narcissist. If I read something and think it's interesting, I rush to Lemmy and post it, no matter the quality. :)

And I still don’t see what all the controversy is about. I post just about anything I read that I find interesting. Funny how everyone overlooks the hundreds of posts I’ve made about science, socialism, anarchism, third parties, college, education, math, and more. I’ve started conservative communities, mixed-politics communities, socialist communities, anarchist communities, death cult communities, writing communities—you name it. My other main account is @UniversalMonk@sh.itjust.works.

Now, using the logic a lot of people on Lemmy seem to apply: if Universal Monk is “conservative” just because I've posted links to conservative articles... then, by that same logic, shouldn’t I also be considered socialist and anarchist because I post so much socialist and anarchist content?

Also, if I were seriously trying to "ban evade," would I really use my well-known and widely disliked username? Obviously not. I usually get banned right away anyway, as my history shows.

Posting links to news articles from across the political spectrum is not a good enough reason for the chaos my name seems to cause.

I’d love to see someone make a pie chart showing the ratio of my socialist, anarchist, and libertarian posts versus anything remotely conservative. You know why that’s hard? Because I’ve posted so much, and it covers so many topics, because I’m a human being with nuance.

Anyone who actually looks at my posting history would see that I lean libertarian-socialist, just like I’ve always said. The real issue is that Lemmy doesn’t like that I’ve never supported the two-party system. Not before the election or now. I never have, and I never will. I still stand by what I’ve said: Trump getting elected was the Democrats’ fault. They dropped the ball, and they deserved to lose. That’s been my view from the very beginning, and it hasn’t changed.

And if anyone has a problem with me posting a lot, or having more than one account on lemmy, then I invite them to check out:

I regret nothing and I won't change my posting habits. Thanks, friend!

Once we have our own piefed, that's gonna be my new perma home! Can't wait!

Most usually would usually note that with a generic "ban evasion," which is often times incorrect as well, but that wasn't used in this case. And would have taken the same amount of time to type as "Universal Monk."

I'm working on transferring all my fiction writing to piefed, and since piefed.social doesn't like me, I've started putting my writing on Feddit.online now. The admin there, @Jerry@feddit.online is awesome! I talked to him about me being there to make sure it was ok. He's been super cool about everything. Great piefed instance and great admin. So at the end of the day, I'm fine with his piefed being the only piefed instance I'm on.

I just wish there were a way to transfer all my writing to my community on there without having to repost them, and bore Lemmy with seeing my stuff be posted all over again. :/

Good points. Mods, I give a little more leeway to. I expect a bit more informative reasons from admins giving instance bans. It makes me think that the admin just assumed bad stuff because of my rep without any actual proof or research. Especially since I posted nothing controversial on his instance.

I respect ya for owning up to it tho. Good on ya, mate!

Holy crap, I just went down that rabbit hole after clicking your links. Wow. Just wow. Thanks for this detailed post. You explained it all perfectly.

Just in case anyone out there thinks that I'm exaggerating about the venom spat towards me and some background of why piefed.social was so quick to ban me without looking at anything, this is from two days ago. Notice a different mod asked someone else to use their custom program to "investigate" me. It's a public comment made 2 days ago, but I blurred names of poster and the mod since they aren't part of my original complaint. I think this is allowed just for background of how far some Lemmy people go. If not I can delete, and I can also send the actual link (it's a public comment) to mods.

I'd love to see the results of this "investigation!" lol

i've been mctruth'd!! i'm officially famous.

wait!! hold up!! i thought i was the real REAL for real chad mctruth. i am everyone who has ever annoyed anyone on lemmy!

thank you for your service, you damn hero! or am i thanking myself? i forgot again.

It's my understanding that vitural signaling (as used as an insult on Lemmy) is saying you're something that you're not. But I am what I say I am, though I'm sure some have tried to ban me for that as well.

but yeah it must feel pretty wild to be internet infamous!

It is kinda weird. I tried to introduce my gf to Lemmy (she hated it), but as I was showing her around, she did a search for "Universal Monk" in the search bar. Obviously lots of results cuz lots of people hatin' on me. The first thing she reads is a thread called, 'I'm calling for the Fediverse to ban Universal Monk.' Which is basically a post with over 300 comments of people saying the most ridiculous shit about me.

So she reads that and a bunch of other comments about me, and sees all my bans. She turns to me and says, "What the fuck?! You're the most boring guy in the world. How is this possible?" lmao

We just have a different opinion. Mine, of course, is the right one, but that’s a different matter

Oh, man, I thought my opinion was the right one. Dammit!

Thanks, friend. :)

Oh, that could be!

Crap! I answered, but you make it sound way more mysterious, so I deleted my answer!
