Ayo I'm in the screenshot letsa fucking GOOOOOOOOOO-

For context, Bungiefan_ak has no fewer than 4 alts that I've seen (all on different instances with the same username) and has spent his time on !memes@lemmy.ml continuously spamming heavily transphobic, homophobic, and objectifying sexist "memes". Just about every one of his alts is now banned but I'm sure more will pop up.

Now, why the fuck he cares so much about pirates at this point, I haven't a clue....

There's likely going to be more

[–] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Doing the lord's work. What a shitfest of a modlog, real winner this guy is

Edit: dear God he keeps MAKING MORE. This dude seriously needs to get a life or something

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I'll keep an eye out, and I sort everything by new anyway.

[–] reddthat@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeah we banned them on reddthat 2 days ago. I'm glad to see I'm not an outlier. Initially we should a 7 day ban should suffice. But then that user decided to message the admin directly and insult them.

Probably the fastest way to get your account banned.

Edit: The message in question. 👀 (Attempted spoiler open if you dare)

you have all the qualities of a womanly woman

real "breasted boobily" energy

[–] Cedarwood@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Neat! Deeply ineffective communication! Starting to feel more like reddit by the day!

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, people are starting to catch on that federation for a Reddit style platform is not a good idea. Who knew it was actually deeply deeply flawed and poorly thought out?

[–] ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What is the best alternative in your opinion?

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

A new federated platform that is self-run, hosts your identity only and allows you to interact from websites from your own app on your own phone or computer, to start. None of this signing up 500 trillion accounts for each and every website garbage.

No more Lemmy instances hosting content from other servers. The content should be downloaded from the server you're trying to interact with to the user's system, and only what little content the user chooses to see, and is deleted like a cache as soon as the user closes it out.

No more fucking downvoting 😠

One account, one unique cryptographic identifier or ID tied to machines so people can't make alt accounts or botnets

There's a LOT Lemmy and the fediverse as a whole needs to fix

[–] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

How would the content get on the server?

[–] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

There was a short time at the beginning of the user influx on Lemmy were it actually felt friendly. Now everyone starts getting mad again. I think it’s in part because the critical mass of edgelords and otherwise hateful people has been reached. And it’s contagious or something.

[–] gabe@literature.cafe 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

yall, this dude tried signing up to my instance a few nights ago. yall wanna see why many communities have registration approvals? see below. warning for nsfw language

NSFW language

[–] Tetsuo@jlai.lu 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Still laughing at the vast amount of people coming from reddit and expecting only chill people to be on lemmy. Like lemmy users are somehow immune to toxicity.

It's less toxic overall but we (or mostly the moderators) will have to fight them all the time.

At least it will improve the moderation tools which is always a good thing.

[–] gabe@literature.cafe 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When I realized it was that dude who tried signing up to my instance I lost my shit laughing, if he was screened prior it's obvious he wouldn't have gotten in. This is precisely what happens when you focus on growth over organically cultivating a healthy community.

I have no proof but I think lemmy.world will be monetized at some point.

[–] HaloMasyerChief@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To be fair, you pirates always look like starving entitled whiny bastards. You want everything free in life and feel like you have the right and duty to take it from others. You can't pay even $5 for a fucking game? Lmao you obviously can but choose to be a parasite and not to.

And before you come here telling me that it's not stealing and these aren't physical items, what I mean is that you're actively hurting honest businesses and small artist. You're taking thier products, making exact copies of it and then distributing them freely. You're not competing economically making your own product, you're just leeching off from someone else's hard work and then killing any opportunity they could have of profiting from it.

Y all act like selling is something bad, but I have news for you: That's how the world works! People need to buy food, pay rent and pay bills, and they're not doing it by just making things free

[–] agressivelyPassive@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And you'd do the same, if you could.

Your boss steals every day from you. Corporations steal every day from us. Why are we supposed to act like docile sheep?

[–] HaloMasyerChief@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What do they steal? They pay me my fair share, people who agree to do jobs underpaid is because they're fucking stupid and don't know to take good gigs. Either that or the my get a fair pay but they just are greedy and want more without doing any more work

[–] agressivelyPassive@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you really think, you get a fair share, you're naive or trolling.

Every profit your company pays to shareholders is fruit of your labor stolen from you. And if you can't see that, you're exactly the kind of docile worker they want.

BTW: it's typical for types like you to look down upon the lower class as stupid and lazy. That's a way for you to feel empowered in the face of the inherent unfairness of the system. And you can ignore, that you're being fucked just like the others. You just get a cushion for your elbows, so it's slightly more comfortable.

[–] HaloMasyerChief@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Every profit my company pays to shareholders is part of my labor, that's how it works, I her a cut to work on a bigger entity than me, where I can profit form labor me alone couldn't and we both get our part.

The system isn't fair, if I work I get money. Lower class exist because they're not as prepared or educated as the rest or because they don't want to work. So I don't know what problems are you talking about

[–] agressivelyPassive@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

We're living in a world that's actively killing the planet and lets literally millions of people die of starvation in the name of profit and your answer is "guess they weren't educated enough"...

You are the problem. Your blindness, lack of empathy, lack of education or simply stupidity, I don't know. But you are the problem.
