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'm in the center. But as long as it's not illegal, then it's OK.

OK so you think every lemm.ee user is a nazi or something?

[–] hankskyjames777@thebrainbin.org 4 points 5 months ago

No but only few of them. I didnt see its users commenting getting mad everytime they see some news posts against the cons

And "NaziParty" did get almost all of their posts downvoted

I also see the communities with the same name in http://sh.itjust.works/ and http://lemmy.world/, all with the same users and downvotes

from 2 different accounts

So ... block the all of the entire two accounts and be done with it?

That also defeats the argument of banning him as he can just keep creating accounts
