There was a certain guy experienced in regexes and ban evaders, and I think he just had some free time open up. We might be able to get on the case…

Posts like these are what he craves.
Don’t engage, don’t comment, don’t make threads about it, ignore.
Or in the ancient words: don’t feed the troll.
How is a brand new account able to just start spamming posts like this? I’m surprised new accounts, or accounts that haven’t posted, aren’t either rate limited or need to have the post approved by a mod.
Also, what a loser.
I mean… for every one of these guys there are like 10,000 people behaving perfectly well.
I don’t think it’s necessary to impose those types of rules - people like him will still do it, but then all of a sudden there’s an economy for aged accounts, etc.
Regular block/ban/ignore/move on hygiene is necessary
I do think rate limiting new accounts would solve a lot of problems though. A new user could post something if they have a question to ask, for example, or something they really want to post, but it limits the damage someone like this can do.
Unfortunately while I do like the fediverse, the mod tools are woefully lacking. Piefed implemented pretty basic user scores as a mitigating factor and… well it didn’t go over great with large parts of the community.
He’s actually potentially a ped*phile, but sure, loser will do
Here on the fediverse it’s called a pedophile.
Definitely a pedophile. Definitely. Loves little boys in tootoos/girls’ ballet outfits, it seems by his image portfolio, and eating kids’ heads on cakes.
Theres no real way to stop him. Just ban his new account when it shows up, ez. If you dont engage and block him as soon as he shows up then there will be no one to take his rage bait and he will eventually return to the swamp he crawled out of
.world could require account approval instead of just automatically approving every account
Why should we care? The mods can take care of it.
That’s just it though, he keeps circumventing mod bans and posting his disgusting AI slop all over shitposts
We can ask the mods to escalate to an admin. I don’t think there’s a perfect way to oust this person, but it could maybe make things more difficult for him
Frankly, I don’t think there is the framework to ip-Ban someone and in even in that case they could probably just use a VPN, I think the best thing is to just completely ignore him and not engage whatsoever. But of course it’s the internet. Good luck getting everyone to ignore him… Just keep reporting him to mods and move on I guess
Just a thought but, could they not ban vpns? Loads of other products like tv services do it
Than I won’t be able to use Lemmy or PieFed. A lot of people here rely on VPN’s for privacy or security.
Between your censoring of the word paedophile, suggestion to ban vpns and feeding of the troll… you’re just a troll yourself aren’t you?
6d old sockpuppet begging for attention?
Begging for attention… To an issue being caused by another user?
Assuming that they are different people. They might not be. If the troll has already demonstrated resilience and multiple accounts, sock puppets when they don’t seem to be getting the attention they want is always a possibility.
You do realise I reported this guy to Reddit got him permanently banned off there, right?
I did not realize. Just convenient that you’d want to crusade across the internets warning people.
Yeah. This guy makes people who run 80 different socks look bad
Getting sick of having to keep blocking the same dude daily.
I think a lot of people are tbh
Honestly i kinda like the odd random person who disrupts the normal flow of things (i get that most people dont agree with that angle). No idea what the fuck all those AI pictures of ‘face cakes’ were about, but couldnt help think they kinda were the definition of shit posting 😂
All I can say is I doubt that this sentiment will be helpful
Why do you care so much?
If you found a potential ped*phile harassing people on the internet, wouldn’t you want to help if you could?
I would report it and move on. I wouldn’t feel the need to start some sort of crusade. I wouldn’t feel morally obligated to solve the problem, or see the problem solved.
I’d want to help by not feeding the troll
Some quick ideas I have for mod tooling:
If it shouldn’t be required, what’s the point of it?
I guess some kind of option to help fast-track user verification as an alternative to waiting the trial period?

Is this the guy who keeps posting “nose cake” and making self posts when no one bites on his rage bait lately?
VidyaPlayuh@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Yes

Worst shit poster ever. He must be very lonely to care so much about our (lack of) interaction with him

Also, just to highlight the disturbingness of that post, but on one of the other socials he is on, he posted that image and claimed it was his own son’s nose and the cake was made out of his own son 🤢

That’s just bizarre. At first I thought some of those could fit into somewhere like surreal memes, but no, that’s just weird in the worst way.

I had to read all the comments on this post but when I saw this comment originally, I was certain this whole thing was a bit. I’m terminally online and I’ve never seen this a hole.
