Ok, I’m sorry for this question, and if this isn’t the right community, please let me know where I should ask it.

So a user in a different community is making a big deal about how terrible I am and that I have been “perma-banned” form an instance.

And he posted this screenshot as “proof.”

But I have no indication I have been perma-banned from any communities or instances and never even heard of this unix instance and I don’t even know how to use unix.

I’ve attached a screenshot. Can you guys better explain to me what this means?

And for reference here is the post of him saying it to me: https://lemmy.world/comment/12216663

I legit have no clue what he is trying to imply. Any pointers?

    Thank you. Hurt people hurt people. And the wheel of samsara keeps turning. It is hard, but let us focus on giving ourselves, each other, and in due time, those who traumatize us the love we seek. We can do this. We will stumble. We will fall. We will get up and try again, and again and again. Bullying is ugly. Click on his user name and block him. It’s sick and sad if mods are allowing this, rather than not noticing. You can complain, if you think it will matter. Just be prepared if may not.

        The only thing I’ve seen toxic so far is how he’s been treated. I’ll tell you something though, I see his abusers being very personality disordered, and it couldn’t hurt to self reflect. The loudest voices aren’t correct, just loud and very badly behaved.

          You may need to go back to when he showed up here, when people responded to the concept of third party candidates in general, not him or their assumptions about him specifically.

          After a while he made a name for himself, and people started to respond to him differently after evaluating his many interactions.

          Let’s compare, for example, to mozz, who probably has a fair amount of respect for his thoughtful and comprehensive replies. Or jeffw, who also seems to want to generate traffic but appears to be much more genuine about republishing political articles of general interest.

          UniversalMonk has earned some of the negative response he’s getting.

            I just post the articles that get the downvotes. I don’t write them. :)

              Your posts are not the problem, that is a strawman. People’s dislike of you stems from your behavior in comment sections.
