Most Americans aren't properly informed, ye

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmyusa.com -3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

They seemed pretty informed to me. What makes you think that most Americans aren't properly informed?

[–] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Either they are under educated and elected a pedo-facsist without understanding what they were doing, or the are properly informed and decided to do so. Both way they are a threat to the survival of our entire species.

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmyusa.com -2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I don't think just because some people voted for Trump that it's a "threat to the survival of our entire species."

If the Democrats were that worried about it, then they should have ran a better campaign and had better candidates.

Thanks, amiko!

The world is larger then the US. If electing nazi-pedo only had consequences in the US, I would be ok with it. But Epstein's closest friend has litteraly threaten war on my country (Canada) before even being in office. Your fascist country babyllionaires want to rule the world.

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmyusa.com -2 points 12 hours ago

The world is larger then the US.

Agreed.

Your fascist country babyllionaires want to rule the world.

I didn't vote for him.

Thanks, amiko!

I suppose it's relative to what you're used to. I'm not american myself

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmyusa.com -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ahh, so you aren't American. So do you think it's cool just to go judging other countries that you don't really know anything about?

So would it be cool for me to start judging you and your country, even tho I don't live there? No, it wouldn't.

You've implied in your other posts that I may be a troll, yet here you are commenting on my posts and you're not even American.

I mean, it sounds like you are being pretty trollish, friend.

Thanks, Amiko!

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Right, I can't have a perspective, sure. I'm not judging you, don't worry. It's just my experience comparing people from different places I've been.

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmyusa.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You're free to have a perspective, but I'm free to disregard it. Thanks!

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 2 points 1 day ago

Can we not use The Daily Mail?

[–] Oni_eyes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Why do you keep recreating accounts with the same username?

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I didn't even notice, I thought it was just one person who was really upset that an ex-president exists

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmyusa.com 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm not upset that an ex-president exists or upset that anyone exists.

That's really odd thing for you to say. Are you doing ok?

I'm glad you're here, friend. Thanks!

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

You keep posting these "biden bad because I repeat myself a lot" articles. Which suggest to me this may be an emotional thing, especially give the emotional titles.

Or you're a troll :/ or something

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmyusa.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't actually write the titles though. I just use the titles of the article as it is posted on their website. So not emotional at all to me.

Which makes me the opposite of a troll since I'm transparent.

If you have a problem with the titles and/or the articles, please don't hesitate to write to the authors/publishers/news orgs that created the articles.

Dude, it's just a news article posted to Lemmy. Calm down. It ain't that serious. lol

Thanks, amiko!

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You got the chance to google the same article anywhere, to post a reasonable rewrite, to post clarification, to not post...

...but you're motivated otherwise

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmyusa.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I just use the site I am currently reading. It's not up to me to make sure you like the source of the article. If you don't like the source, then feel free to not read the article.

And what do you think my "motivation" is?

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't know, you don't appear lazy. Assuming you don't have ill intentions, I'd have to guess a lack of competence?

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmyusa.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So because I post stuff you don't like, that's a lack of competence?

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmyusa.com -3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

You probably aren’t familiar with my saga, but here’s a quick rundown. Before the election, I refused to support either Biden/Harris or Trump. I advocated for third-party candidates. It seems silly now, but just a couple of months ago, that was a HUGE no-no on Lemmy.

People started calling me a bot, a nazi, a nazi-progammed bot(!), a Russian troll. Some even created elaborate stories about me living in Russia and getting paid in rubles to post on Lemmy. It was crazy. LMAO

After hundreds of complaints about me and being mad that I was still around, one guy even wrote a program to track me and offered it to other people to track me on Lemmy (Hi @pooperNickel@lemm.ee https://lemm.ee/u/pooperNickel). He was, and still is, really really mad about me not voting for Harris.

Eventually, they banned me from the .world instance, and then made a post celebrating my "demise." On top of that, people took over the communities I founded and deleted all my posts. With great glee! lol

Later when asked about why I was banned, admins accused me of "harassing" DM's but, mysteriously when I ask for proof of these, the people in charge just say "It's private--we can't show you."

I say just show those to all of Lemmy and hide the identity of the receiver, and at least show us what I said that was so bad or what they consider "harassing".

The real reason they don't show proof? There is none. Because I never sent harrassing emails. LMAO

But the beauty of the fediverse is its freedom. I moved to other instances, ones less censor-heavy, but many followed me there too, trying to get me banned again.

To avoid losing all my communities at once, I diversified and spread my name across multiple instances, so they can’t silence me with one action.

I know this sounds exaggerated, but it’s not. Just last week, a new thread was started to ban me again. Here are the links to the main threads:

https://sh.itjust.works/post/31017252

https://sh.itjust.works/post/26969318

Luckily the admins took my side, saw the witchhunter-ry aspect of continually tracking me instead of just blocking me, and stood up for me.

But since I have such a passionate "Hate and Destroy Monk" following, I have to keep things spread out.

Actually, I'm a very boring guy born and raised here in the US. I've never even been out of the country. Was a teacher assistant in a middle school until I retired last month. :)

So thank the .world community for inspiring me to be EVERYWHERE now. They should have just ignored me. lol

Pics in case my links don't work. Just do a search for the titles in your search bar and it will bring them up to:

WTF is going on? What's up with UniversalMonk? I've never heard of him before, or any of this drama.

Okay, I read some of those links he linked and as I understand it this is what's happening: UniversalMonk is creating alts on different instances to evade bans. He then complains that he wasn't notified about his bans, as justification for his ban evasion.

The problem here is that the ban was never about banning his account, the point of a ban is to make someone go away, and either 1) after he was banned he tried to post on his account, failed, and so made a new account on a different instance then posted from the new account (i.e. normal ban evasion), or 2) he was posting from several different accounts and simply switched to a different account to post without even noticing his other account was banned - in which case, yeah, if he's doing the behavior simultaneously across multiple accounts, all that's left to do is ban all of his accounts.

[–] UniversalMonk@sh.itjust.works 0 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Actually, ban evading is creating an alt account to purposely continue post into banned forums or on banned instances.

I haven't ban evaded. In fact, I'm using my same username on other instances. That would make it even more difficult to ban evade, since people would see my same name. lol

Also, this is actually my own community that I created and mod.

So me posting to my own communities, regardless of what instance I'm on is NOT considered a ban evade either, because I'm not banned from this community or this instance under any name or instance.

And yes I saw your recent report on me--the one were you called me a "shithead." You reported my post that I posted to my own community, friend. You also falsely accused me of ban-evading--again in my own community.

And you called me names in your report, tho I have never called you any names.

You seem frustrated with me. That's your right. I have no problems with that and I have no problems with you.

So the best advice I can give you is to block my name and/or community wherever you see it. That way you won't have to see my posts.

Thanks, friend!

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmyusa.com -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fuck you. Quit playing victim you sack of shit.

You seem like a super friendly and easygoing guy. Thanks for jumping in.

But I'm not playing victim. I'm playing victory.

See, I fucking won.

No one stopped me. No one changed my mind. And I'm still here. Posting what I want, where I want.

U mad, brah?

Thanks, amiko!

How funny! That's how I think of the leftists. I can't even think of the name of the candidate that they got onto my ballot.
