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.
idk, man, do you got any evidence this is UM other than “trust me, bro”?
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.
