Today I noticed a huge wall of spam from UniversalMonk from 2 different accounts and didn't initially think much of it and blocked their communities but more spam came from different communities.

At this point I checked and saw that they had created several communities which then led me down the rabbit hole to discover that their posts had almost entirely covered the new posts page of both sh.itjust.works and lemm.ee. Later on I discovered that they're posting right-wing propaganda and misinformation from breitbart, foxnews you name it.


He's already caused and stirred shit 2 months ago and clearly I can see why now.

At this point it's difficult to believe that UniversalMonk will learn proper netiquette in: not post spamming, being considerate to others, and not sharing right-wing extremist content that no one wants.

I think its safe to say people are mostly concerned with extremist content. The poster qualified it with “right wing” simply because the right wing is exhibits more extremist tendencies. You picked out those qualifiers on purpose to shore up your argument .
