Why did I see a comment of yours saying you aren’t evading bans and to block your account; yet you create alts to post??

You are correct; you did see that. But my "alts" don't post on the instance I was banned from, nor do I post in communities I am banned in. Also, I use this same username on different instances.

Everyone knows my username. So the only "alt" about it is that I am on different instances. If I were to post on a banned instance, they would know immediately because it'd say "Universal Monk."

So I'm not "evading" anything.

And not only have I not been banned from this community, I'm actually the creator and mod of it.

There's no rule that says we can't sign up on multiple instances. In fact, the whole point of the Fediverse is that there are different instances so that no one reporting body or person can close anyone down. That's the spirit of the fediverse.

Evasion bans are defined as someone coming up with an alternate name so that one can covertly continue posting in communities where the person was banned.

I don't do that.

And all the admins on my new instances are well aware of who I am and the somewhat passionate response to my names and posts. And all of them see that there is no need to render any actions against me. Trust me, people try to report me all the time. lmao

Hope that helps clarify things for ya.

Thanks, friend!

Fair enough, appreciate the informative reply either way.

No worries, friend.

Common misconception and I get accused of it a lot, so that's why I was so quick to respond with my cut-and-paste mini-essay.

Thanks for keeping it all respectful!
