UniversalMonk, PapaSkwat, DonaldJMusk, TheSilentNickel, QuantumTickler, his communities are full of Astro turfing sock puppets.
EDIT: My list of sock puppets. I doubt it's perfect and I may have picked up a few that weren't him

To the mods of this comm, I understand this isn't a post complaining about a mod action taken against me. It's hardly even a complaint against a mod, although he does mod a handful of communities. I know it's a hard-to-prove personal message that the accused will deny sending or say was a joke he told a troll, his word vs mine. But this is beyond the usual actions mods take. This is abuse of the fediverse, harrassment, ban evasion, and vote manipulation.
I believe the situation to be self evident even without this message that the users who frequent DonaldJMusk's comms are primarily him with a new username on a new server and they're leaking out into other communities with ill intent.
If action is to be taken against this post, I ask that it be locked and not deleted.
Obligatory fuck UniversalMonk and his stupid AI character in each of his accounts' pfp. Dude is easily the worst parts of the fediverse wrapped up in a shit bow. Just block lemmy.today its a fascist instance. Same with the lemmyusa.today one or whatever.
The bigger problem here is that lemmy.today is being used as a gateway for astroturfing. That's the issue that needs fixing here.
Isn't the point of the federation to enable defederating rogue instances, or am I wrong on that?
Hot take: this is why automatic federation is a bad idea. Even if your malicious instance gets defederated, you can just spin up a new one!
I imagine eventually automatic federation will stop being a thing for a lot of instances.
Yes. That was precisely what I was getting at there lol.
Well fair enough
I never liked the idea of blocking. Shoving my fingers in my ears and singing "la la la" allows these antics to continue unchallenged. Besides, they're not all on one instance.
I picked Lemmy.today because it allows me to block instances instead of the admins deciding which to defed from. But I do acknowledge that it allows a lot of freaks in.
Aussie.zone lets you block instances too. And it's not facist.
also been able to on dbzer0, I had thought it was a universal feature
settings > blocks > block instance (scroll down)
I think it's clear from context that they meant pick which instances they don't want to see themselves as opposed to instance admins doing it on their behalf.
did you reply to the wrong comment?
Thanks, this is exactly what I meant.
You will notice that users from those so-called "blocked" instances can still:
What it blocks:
In short it should have been named a "community mute" rather than an "instance block". The best way to block an entire instance frankly is to switch from Lemmy to PieFed. Otherwise there is only a tiny minority of apps (Sync and Connect iirc) that will offer that - the rest merely connect you to the same misnamed instance block (but actually no and rather community muting) feature inbuilt into Lemmy, unless you start to get into things like hacking your feed with a browser plugin to filter users from instances that you want blocked.
But it's admins openly tolerate racism from its users and refuse to take any meaningful action, beyond maybe occasionally deleting one of the users racists posts if you bug them enough times and call them out on it.
Fuck Eyekaytee and the aussie.zone admins.
Are the admins of lemmy.today shown to be fascist? I haven't heard anything about that. I guess if you consider them allowing Monk to do this, they're at least allowing it
Hi, Admin from lemmy.today here. I'm certainly not a fascist and I wouldn't be associated with any instance or participate on an Admin Team that is.
Speaking of Admin Teams I think every member of ours (including me) has separately investigated the accusation that DJM and UM are the same person and to date none of us have come up with anything. We have engaged with several Lemmy users from other instances who claimed to have proof but none of them provided anything other than conjecture and accusation.
If you, or anyone else, actually has some proof feel free to message any member of the lemmy.today admin team.
Good luck getting the people who don't like giving evidence to change their minds to evidence or give you any. They still haven't given any despite insisting they have it.
not neccesarily, but some of the communities are problematic, like politics and some other political type instances, its not like super tankie, but they do like to form a opinion that they dont like changing in some of them, and have banned people, especially when it comes to gaza/israel, they misinterpret people way too much, basically labeling them antisemitic if they dont agree with you.
