A note on Universal Monk:
So we've seen the complaints and the reports and boy oh boy are there complaints and reports.
I've discussed the account with the other mods and admins multiple times, and while we agree the volume is a lot, it doesn't point to a botfarm or multiple people using the account.
Obsessive? Absolutely, but not technically rule breaking... Until today.
Today they indescriminately posted the same story three times from three different sources apparently solely to flood the channel showing a decided lack of judgement.
It's a valid story from a valid source, the original has been kept here:
https://lemmy.world/post/21098916
The others have been removed as duplicates.
I'm also applying a 15 day temp ban on the account.
"15 days? That's oddly specific! What's in 15... OH!"

RIP. I'm sure he'll be back with alts, but here are the final stats:

I do have to admit to feeling at least a little validated for having called him out way more for his pattern of behavior when it came to interactions with other users as opposed to his posts. His posts were bad but the way he engaged with anyone and everyone was downright toxic. /politics is a better place with him banned, and now Lemmy will be a better place for him being gone. I'm sure he's still out there on some platform playing the poor victim, as I doubt this was a "teachable moment", but I sincerely hope he gets help somewhere. It's cliché, but that dude had issues.
Not sure if you saw this https://lemm.ee/post/45848048
I read this as "leave us alone about trolls, just block them". Because while they say to report them first, we all saw how that went with UM. Lots of us were ignored for weeks. So Lemmy is only better than Facebook in that it's smaller. So fucking disappointing. Trolls will be free to troll.
Yeah, thanks! I saw it but unfortunately buried in work this week and last, so haven't been very active lately. But I did just reply in that thread to counter some revisionist history from the mods. :)
I just went and read your comment. Thank you for writing that. Very well said. I wish I had more patience like you do.
Thanks! I'm not sure how much is patience and how much is just being resigned to the mods making the wrong decision on this one. I think the rule change is just punishing the community for their own past failings, but I don't really see anyone being able to change their minds on this one. And being a mod - especially on /politics - is by definition a thankless and difficult job, so I do understand where they're coming from in part. Unfortunately they seem to have learned all the wrong lessons.
I couldn't agree with you more. Thank you for calling him out. I can definitely say that comments like yours help me keep my resolve and think "it's not just me! Everyone can see it!"
If you and others hadnt kept calling him on his shit I would've eventually probably just stopped using Lemmy tbh. Users like that absolutely shit in the pool. I'm sure he'd have a lot of whining to do about how he was persecuted for having a different point of view but we all know that was bullshit. Luckily we don't have to endure that whining!
<fistbump>
Somebody crossed a line!
It was only a matter of time.
Taking it to PMs is a fast track to getting Admins involved and Admins do not fuck around.
