UniversalMonk, PapaSkwat, DonaldJMusk, TheSilentNickel, QuantumTickler, his communities are full of Astro turfing sock puppets.
EDIT: My list of sock puppets. I doubt it’s perfect and I may have picked up a few that weren’t him

To the mods of this comm, I understand this isn’t a post complaining about a mod action taken against me. It’s hardly even a complaint against a mod, although he does mod a handful of communities. I know it’s a hard-to-prove personal message that the accused will deny sending or say was a joke he told a troll, his word vs mine. But this is beyond the usual actions mods take. This is abuse of the fediverse, harrassment, ban evasion, and vote manipulation.
I believe the situation to be self evident even without this message that the users who frequent DonaldJMusk’s comms are primarily him with a new username on a new server and they’re leaking out into other communities with ill intent.
If action is to be taken against this post, I ask that it be locked and not deleted.
Admin of tucson.social here - when UM signed up at tucson.social he made some crucial mistakes that made him easy to identify as a bot. Unfortunately, since this affects my security posture, I’m not keen on publicly posting what it is as he still makes the same mistakes.
However, let me add this - there are multiple places we should be validating are accessed from the same IP in a registration flow - all to many bot farms centralize certain aspects of their operations and use the same IP every time for only certain parts of a given flow.
I’ll also add that many admins are either stupid about site security, or actively complicit in the bot problem.
“Trust me bro, I have unicorns. We don’t need proof, I just have them.”
I’m not on tucson.social and I’m not a bot. I don’t remember ever signing up for that instance. If I did, maybe it was way back when I was bouncing around trying to find a good instance, but this has been my main account for a long time.
Calling me a bot doesn’t help your case. The only way that would make sense is if I were some sleeper robot packed with a human’s memories, unaware of my own programming. Then again, that’s straight out of a sci-fi novel I read once. So no, I’m real, and my memories are real. Wait, I think they are! Holy shit, what if I’m not real and I am just imagining I am real!
that doesn’t really shine the light on anything. like the OP, you’re basically just saying “trust me, bro”, and appealing to your own authority. which is pretty suspect when the OP is obviously a brand new sockpuppet account having been made for the express purpose of creating this thread to stir up shit.
“Trust me bro, I just don’t wanna give proof.”
