Impersonation is something I’m gonna have to think about for a bit.

And I think it's gonna get worse before it gets better.

On the bright side though, it'll get bad enough that admins will figure out some way to solve the problem.

Could be as simple as username protocols shared across instances, set into the Lemmy software, that crosscheck usernames so that only one version of that username can be made. Just like when you signed up for reddit, you would get a message saying "username taken, please choose another one."

I don't know what the solution will be, but they're a smart bunch. They'll figure out something.

Do a search for "Universal Monk" in the Lemmy search bar, and you'll see the hate. lol But try to find something that I said that would have been worthy of that all that hate, is much tougher. At least now. With all the imposters I'm sure some stuff will pop up soon. lol

I think admin should remove/block/ban based on individual comments as they happen. That would nip it in the bud.

Every time I ask the people calling me a troll, to give me evidence of something I said that is ban-worthy or troll-worthy, I get a variation of "It's not my job to show everyone how much you suck!" Yet they do seem to think it's their job to tell everyone I suck. With no proof. lol

Sometimes they'll say "Look, mod log says you were banned for harassing DM's!" So I ask for a screenshot of those because I'd like to see them, since I haven't sent harrasing DM's. If a DM I have sent is harrasing, easy to prove. Post a screenshot. DM's aren't that private anyway.

Still never have seen any screenshots of any harrassing DM's. I've sent screenshots of my shitty DM's I get though. Why can't people send theirs that they have received from me?!

Because the real reason people don't like me is because I don't back down when people try to sway my opinion. I didn't vote for Harris. I think Democrats suck, and I said so.

But here's the thing. I didn't vote for Trump either. I voted 3rd party. For some reason, for many, that's WORSE than voting for Trump.

People hate the idea of Universal Monk, more than the content of what I actually post.

I am 100 percent prepared for fediverse to name-ban my username.

Even the admins who stand behind me and support me, will eventually get harrassed and/or pressured enough, that it'll just be easier to ban me than to constantly deal with the backlash.

I've already set up backup accounts, usernames, and have alternative instances ready to go. I haven't used them yet. But they're ready to go. I'll be back on 30 seconds later under a completely different name if I get banned. lol

People need to realize that banning a username isn't actually banning the person behind it. I was permabanned lots of times on Reddit. I just started up a new username and was back on the same day. Never stopped me. And at least Reddit had karma ratings to lose. Lemmy doesn't even have that, so even easier to start again on Lemmy.

I'll be on Lemmy as long as there is a Lemmy. I like the idea of it. :)
