    Recently one of the posts I made got a porn spam comment and I also saw a lot of porn spam in my instance's communites. Also just now I got an abusive DM telling me to kill myself and accusing me of being an astroturfer.

    Has anyone else experienced anything like that lately or is it just me?

    it looks like you've been getting targeted for abuse by a feddit.org admin, saying you're the same person for upvoting the db0 thread about feddit.org being zionist

      yeah I think that is a big thing people have to keep in mind with the internet. I try my best to love you all but I don't make decisions with what I "learn" from hanging it out internet spaces. I sometimes laugh at myself when I get to upset by something.

      Whenever I’m in too deep in an online argument I’m comforted by the wise words of one Rick Sanchez:

      “Your boos mean nothing, I’ve seen what makes you cheer.”

        Im not sure about the porn spam, but the abusive dm is probably from the Feddit.org admin acussing you of being an astrosurfer https://lemmy.zip/post/58901499/24578452 @Astertheprince@lemmy.dbzer0.com

            Some women wanted to donate me her retirement savings so I open a homeless shelter in Germany but that's it.

                      I created it a while back because I thought having the username occupied would prevent this sort of thing from happening. I was more naive back then and didn't think someone would be pathetic enough to use misspellings and lookalikes to get around that 😔.

                        Yes I know this is excessive and I created many of them either when I was less sure of the Fediverse or because I wanted some activity separation in who I follow or communities I'm part of. And also because of Federation issues as well. I also was kind of hoping Lemmy would have something in the future where accounts like this can be merged into a single nomadic account. I had heard of something like that but I can't find it now 😕

                          Wow... that... I have no words for that. That is beyond despicable. I had a feeling things were bad when I saw the governance thread but that's way way worse than I thought.

                            Has anyone else experienced anything like that lately or is it just me?

                              No I didn't, though. There is legitimately someone who has been doing this stuff for at least eight months now and I originally thought it was another antiyanks attack, but other admins told me that transphobia is untypical of antiyanks.

                              Also if you can link the account, I would gladly ban it at least from Feddit.

                                just as an FYI, it looks like you've been getting targted for abuse by a feddit.org admin, saying you're the same person for upvoting the thread about feddit.org being zionist

                                edit, as the admin in question replied to me and is banned, so I can't respond otherwise:

                                @Emopunker@feddit.org, the MeanwhileonGrad comm is a cesspool, you posted there in a thread complaining about your instance getting defederated for its rampant zionism. You used your ability as an admin to view the votes on that thread and complained about users who upvoted the thread.

                                "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?"

                                They then started getting DM harassment, along with other people who have been vocally anti-zionist lately.

                                Nobody said it's literally you doing it, however it is you who are the one fanning the flames.

                                No. I said I had the feeling that the accounts could be associated with each other. Also I never contacted Aster or any of the others in the screenshot. There is a troll trying to get both at me and at other users and trying to fan the flames.

And also because of Federation issues as well. I also was kind of hoping Lemmy would have something in the future where accounts like this can be merged into a single nomadic account. I had heard of something like that but I can't find it now 😕

                                  Thanks for information, sorry for this pathetic person. You didn't deserve this.

                                  Lemmy instance admins please ban all other @Draconic_NEO @Draconic_NE0 @Draconic_MEO @Draconic_ME0 accounts in you instance

                                    Now that is some enthusiasm for the fediverse.

                                      This seems to be an unpopular opinion but i personally had someone block me for presumably being too friendly and sincere, after an initial comment where i had agreed with them and defended their downvoted comment.

                                      A second person blocked me after i pointed out that the person they where calling ai/a bot is in fact a well loved moderator of the community they tried to be a part of and they where simply misreading the room.

                                      I don’t really mind that people remove themselves but it does worry me that tolerance of others have gotten so low that ideologically similar people will label each other enemies based on very basic misunderstandings of topics they agree about.

                                      maybe I don't express it well, but the concept is right... you can't sell me the bottled intolerance like superiority
