Hello. I wasn’t sure where to post about this and a friend directed me here.

There is a person who has an account on Lemmy, who has a 5 year long history of malicious trolling, catfishing, creepy comments they made to someone they knew was only 14, and telling a trans person to kill themselves after shooting up a school then gaslighting people on Lemmy about it. Their actions are such that multiple people are chronicling the various reprehensible things they’ve said and done and continue to do.

*Their modus operandi is this:

  1. They’ll do/say reprehensible things.
  2. They will call evidence of those things “slander” or say “you’re taking it out of context” “you cannot speak for my intentions” or use plausible deniability.
  3. They paint themselves as a targeted victim, hoping people take their word for it and don’t look into the links that got posted.

Here’s a recent in-depth post which goes into detail about this person and includes lots of direct links.

In the description of that video, there are a ton of links to things the troll has posted, on their own accounts, such as when they trolled on AskLemmy on Lemmy.world by saying Elon Musk’s Nazi salute “has been debunked though” and proceeded to gaslight commenters in the comments, then locking their own thread. They are highly manipulative and try to paint themselves as a victim who is being targeted for no reason by calling the evidence in the links “slander” and saying “you can’t speak for other people’s intentions”.

They like to portray themselves as an innocent person who is “being targeted for no reason” hoping that mods and admins who are unaware of their history take their word for it without looking into things. They will claim they’re being doxed because their alias, which the troll publicly posts everywhere, was mentioned in posts exposing them.
