Because this influence campaign only took place on Lemmy /s

Blocked

You posted on a public platform. Cry me a river that pointing out facts about that got you banned.

You keep on evading the bans while you can. We'll see how long that lasts.

And mods allowing you to spread thousands of lies had absolutely nothing to do with it whatsoever.

I just went and read your comment. Thank you for writing that. Very well said. I wish I had more patience like you do.

You had dozens of people telling you what he was doing. It had zero to do with vague feelings and practically nothing to do with his opinions, despite that always being the claim. It had to do with very obvious trolling. If I get banned for "sassing" you, that will say a lot

Wow okay.

Not sure if you saw this https://lemm.ee/post/45848048

I read this as "leave us alone about trolls, just block them". Because while they say to report them first, we all saw how that went with UM. Lots of us were ignored for weeks. So Lemmy is only better than Facebook in that it's smaller. So fucking disappointing. Trolls will be free to troll.

An excuse NOT to ban them? That seemed to be the process. And now you've told us to just report and block them.

If hundreds of reports did nothing for weeks about the most obvious troll I've ever seen, I have no faith at all that reporting and blocking trolls will help the fediverse in the least. They will be free to run their election interference campaigns just like on Facebook.

I know modding isn't easy but Jesus this case surely was. No fucking way anyone believed he wasn't a troll if they actually looked at their activity.

So no reaction at all to the fact that UM is now admitting to being part of a larger troll effort, after dozens of people told you that was likely, for weeks, and you dismissed all of them repeatedly?

Seems like we were all right and UM should've been banned long ago. Everyone who said they weren't a troll was entirely wrong. That doesn't seem to be acknowledged here at all.

You can't blame the community here for being kind of frustrated with this response. Many people reported trolling behavior for a long time before that ban finally happened. If the things I reported them for myself aren't trolling then I don't know would qualify as trolling.

Several other instances banned UM for trolling long before .world did. Because it wasn't unclear.

With all due respect, that did not happen with UM for months and far longer with linkerbaan.
