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.

    Yeah, it’s a common pattern with the “victim” crap. Same stuff I was just testing, actually. (Check my comment history with UM over the last day or so; re: define propaganda)

    Very nonsensical responses, no discussion and just absolute crap posts. If it is LLM assisted, it’s tuned to respond to people like they are hating on the acual article and UM. It’s an easy formula: post a shit article and just argue with everyone about anything while assuming they are commenting against the post.

    But I have met people just like that IRL and it usually comes with some serious mental disorders or poorly prescribed medications. (I am being extremely serious with that comment and no joke is intended, at all.) It’s probably for that person’s benefit to get kick-banned at all turns. Assuming it’s actually one real person, social media is not where they need to be spending their time.
