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.
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."
"Trust me bro, I have unicorns. We don't need proof, I just have them."
I'm an Admin on lemmy.today and the accusation that DJM is UM (and others) occasionally comes up. Both I and @mrmanager@lemmy.today have looked into it and neither of us have ever been able to find any kind of proof.
I've engaged with several Lemmy users who supposedly had proof but they were unable to provide anything better than what OP has up above. It's always loose conjecture and "trust me, bro".
Yes the DJM account is annoying but that's not enough to get banned from our instance.
First of all- BULLSHIT. I have brought evidence to you and you chose to dismiss it.
And I told you- you could have talked to JordanLund, he’s got the proof. You chose not to. You’re protecting him.
Ok, now do DonaldJMusk and the other dozen accounts.
I know you can't because of them being on other servers that aren't playing ball but that kinda feels like the point.
You're just the bartender, but once this conversation is over I'm done with Lemmy. Not your instance, all of Lemmy. He's following and harassing me everywhere and the most you can do is call him annoying.
Fuck you.
When I say "DJM" I am referring to DonaldJMusk.
You obviously have another account because the one you're commenting from is only 6 hours old, has just 1 post (this one) and only 17 comments (all in here). I checked because I wanted to see one of these accounts harassing you and look into it. Unfortunately there's nothing for me to see so there's nothing I can do.
My suggestion would be to report the user accounts that are causing you grief to the admins of the accounts home instance and then block them. Takes like 15 seconds to do both of those actions.
Sadly my wife isn't into sharing, otherwise I might be interested. 😘
They never do.
