So, while this user (and their many reincarnations) has really impacted my enjoyment of Lemmy over the last couple of weeks, they do highlight one of the larger shortcomings of the platform. There’s nothing stopping an unstable, disturbed, bored person from grinding through accounts. A problem on any platform, for sure. Though folks like this do seem to filter out in the nose of larger projects.
I don’t have a solution for this. But I’m nearly to the point of tearing down my own instance.
Yeah, that tracks. Without fed-wide IP blacklists or something, I suppose it’s really easy to just instance hop and be a dick. Or spin up your own and be a dick.
Allow me… To create a frontend framework that just hides content you don’t want to see… Maybe even a feature that hides users too… I’ll add in some keywords…
Ooh let’s call it Penteract!
…federating block-lists is actually an interesting idea. Instances already federate posts, comments, communities, and users. An instance could publish a public block-list, and admins of other instances could “subscribe” to block-lists across the fediverse that they trust, reducing some of the redundant labor of each instance’s admins maintaining their own separate block-lists. It’s kind of a similar idea to ublock origin’s various filter lists.
Another day, another username to block. See you again tomorrow, dickhead.
Relatable
Any reason for a given individual to not block him? I came aware of him last week. Tried not blocking. Decided blocking was more helpful.
He makes about six new accounts a day.
But his posts have a certain feel to them, do they not? Sigh, I just want Fedi to be a nice supportive place. Then you get the trouble makers showing up.

This ain’t funny. This guy runs a network of borderline illegal social media accounts. I’ve posted about him on Reddit before and have encountered him here. You can find traces of him all over the internet

Story time?
cannedtuna@lemmy.world 1 day ago
No. The guy posts AI cannibalism fetish material about eating kids. That’s as far as anyone needs to go into this.

What kind of stuff does he do?
VidyaPlayuh@lemmy.world 1 day ago
He posts pics of kids doing/wearing weird stuff on Pinterest, BlueSky, medium etc. I’m not going into any deeper detail that that. He links all his accounts together so you can basically track his movement

He’ll post links to gore, too.

And he fabricates all these stories like ‘my son did this and that’ but all these pics allegedly of him look AI made
