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 [email protected] 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
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
I'll keep an eye out, and I sort everything by new anyway.
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)
real "breasted boobily" energy
I believe the spoiler tag is the following on Lemmy
spoiler label
sh*t to hideMaybe he just likes to argue with people. I have 1 such classmate. His "opinions" are always just opposite to who he's talking with. But apparently outside of school he's normal.
I love arguing with people, I'll even argue points I don't necessarily believe, but that's not the same as trolling. The difference is doing it in good faith
Trolls aren't trying to convince anyone or engage in debate, they're in it to russle jimmies, own the libs, or whatever. There's not really an intellectual aspect to it, it's arguing on emotion
Probably because one of his alts was on dbzer0 and was banned for transphobia
Oh. Oh that makes so much more sense. His sad little idea of vengeance is to now attack anything piracy related and get dbzero ostracized from LW just because pirates have more morals than he does lol
That would explain why he's such a snob about piracy on his Reddit subs. For context on Reddit this person (pretty sure they're the same person) banned me from a sub he moderates (I believe it was r/3dshacks) and he tried to get me banned from r/EmulationOnAndroid and also weirdly enough r/teenagers he failed at getting me banned from them by the way because those subs aren't anti-piracy bungie stans like he is, simply put they don't care.
But yeah he was a real loser, I think he got removed from most of the subs he moderated by Reddit though, and the participation in the protest has all but killed the remaining Sub. From Allmighty powermod to a pathetic whiny troll (though I guess he still was a whiny troll before, he just seemed more respectable from the outside).
It's been happening to a lot of powermods on Reddit so probably. I should note that as far as I'm aware this guy is the only one who decided to harass lemmy for it.
The troll doesn't care, at all. It got banned clearly or it would be trolling here directly, it's retaliation. Child psychology will tell you everything you'd need to know about that "user".
Maybe we shouldn't feed that troll ?
I think in that case a shadowban would be the best way to do it. Or an IP ban if that's possible.
In any case this is giving him even more reason to keep on harassing people for attention.
An entire instance just fed the troll, pretty sure the cats out of the bag on this one...
These are the alts, counts, scores, and ban status my instance is aware of:
Well that's a record, not a single positive score in sight from any of the accounts

Quite the sense of pride and accomplishment this Bungie fan must be feeling, huh
Trekkies don't fuck around apparently.
We do not 😂
Spending that much money and time stanning for fucking Bungie of all decaying and bloated and corrupt treat companies is really something.![pathetic pathetic](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/88f638fa-b04c-4d8f-9f84-f4fbe337fda2.png)
OF FUCKING COURSE.![bridget-pride-stay-mad bridget-pride-stay-mad](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/7f46aa20-279f-4868-ae69-f115516cec92.png)
I mean, this is one of the benefits of the lemmyverse - using the same username across different instances. It's not subversive.
That's not to lend a defence of this guy - just didn't want having Lemmy alts presented as a bad thing.
Having Lemmy alts is not a bad thing. Using them to circumvent bans very much is, tho.
At least he makes them super easy to find by reusing the identical name lol
that guy is the most succesfull troll in history. he single-handedly created havoc that big that russian trollfarm wouldn't have to be ashamed for and you continue to give him audience. just ban him and move on.
That's so funny, I'm just waiting when lemmy .world will defederate .ml and beehaw because of them.
Hexbear is one of the oldest lemmy instances, but only recently started federating.
Are you suggesting that for the last 3+ years, someone was running a troll farm where the trolls could only talk to each other?
not sure if you are serious, but no, that's not what i am suggesting.
Oh, sorry then, I must have misunderstood.
Since federation, a lot of libs who've never encountered a leftist opinion have been calling us russian or chinese bots for not supporting the latest imperialist adventures.
Literally no one mentioned hexbear, or leftism in general, before you did. Quite a victim complex you got there.
don't take me wrong, i am pretty sure i am not in the same boat with comrade who thinks that "not supporting the latest imperialist adventures" is some clever newspeak, but your comment was first time i have heard about "hexbear" - whatever that is.
If that's what you want to call it. I was just using the old-timey term to contextualize US actions in Ukraine/China/Iran/DPRK/Niger among the hundred other wars waged for the same purpose over the last couple centuries.
I reported that mother fucker. Scum like him are easy to spot and clean up.
As did I, multiple times.
How do you people find these alts. I scroll by, like or don't, but I have no idea if they are related.
Do you guys have a 7th sense or something?
He's using the same username on different instances, not the sharpest tool in the shed.
That's kinda a giveaway.
