Wow that site is a dumpster fire. Looks like tabloid trash.

This crash happened under the Trump administration, didn’t it?

Edit: Oh, it’s UniversalMonk, golly how about that. How’s your leftist Jill Stein / Socialist Party thing going? Looks like you found a, what, 4th or 5th instance to use?

How’s your leftist Jill Stein / Socialist Party thing going?

Great! I just posted some socialist articles today to the Socialist Workers Party communities I mod. Thank you for asking! That's so nice of you to remember!

Looks like you found a, what, 4th or 5th instance to use?

Clearly, there was a focused effort to silence me. After all, I didn't vote for Biden, so obviously, I had to be censored, right?

To ensure I could keep speaking out, I registered my name across several platforms. My communities are across several platforms. This way, there's no single authority that can silence me.

You know what's really ironic? Your attempts to ban me actually inspired me to diversify my presence and actually post MORE! Isn’t that great? The beauty of the fediverse is that no single person or opinion controls everything.

.world actually created me. Now I'm all over the place! I even started my own instance! So thank you!!

Just think, if you would have just blocked me, rather than banning me, I'd probably be posting to one instance and no one would ever see what I post. But you all inspired me to really spread out!

Isn't that something? Hey, do you remember the good old days when I was accused of being paid by the Russians and that I'd disappear after the election? I'm still here.

Remember how upset people were when I said I was going to vote for a third party? And now, look, many on Lemmy are advocating for third parties after feeling let down by the Democrats.

And remember when I got banned for posting an AP News article that reported Trump was rising in the polls? And now, it turns out he actually won. So much for that article being 'propaganda.'

It’s funny how things turn out, isn’t it?

I'm not going anywhere, friend. Thanks!

still carrying the same baggage, I see

Nah, not baggage. I just wanted everyone to see how horribly you failed at censoring me just because I didn't worship the duopoly. I'm sooo glad all my posts and the modlogs are public. I get to actually cut and paste links to prove what i said was accurate! It's awesome!

And Trump won. Of all the fucking people to beat you, it was Trump. That's how pathetic the Democrats are.

I guess instead of trying to ban people who didn't agree with you, you should have been working on getting better candidates.

I was right. Trump WAS rising in the polls. You all said it was propaganda. It wasn't. It was fact. And he won.

Meh, I didn't vote for him tho, so...

Oh yeah, I'M STILL HERE. I'm not going anywhere, friend.

You created me. How's that feel? :)

Do you think I am the mod of some community?

[–] UniversalMonk@lonestarlemmy.mooo.com 1 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

No, but ya definitely jumped in on the efforts to ban me. And you supported it.

Now I'm on several instances. And the admins on those instances saw what happened on .world and they ended up supporting me. And they were dismayed at the censorship they saw.

So when I say "you created me," I mean, "people's behavior in the .world communites" created me.

Seeing how you all treat and falsely accuse people who don't agree with you, ensured that I will never ever vote Democrat. And ensured that I'll be sure to point out all the faults of the Democrat party. Forever.

I even created my own instance to ensure I'll keep speaking up. And in the process of creating several more. And I just purchased some servers. I gotta expand beyond the UniMonk brand, right?! It'd be a shame for someone to just see the UM name and automatically defed. :)

I'm fully retired now. I will never be silenced again. And it's awesome. So thank you, friend! :)

Right?! It's awesome. I'm fit, healthy, have great gf who puts up with my Lemmy love, I have enough income to last the rest of my life AND I have plenty of time and ability to say whatever I want, wherever I want.

If you all wouldn't have been such jerks, I'd probably be bored of Lemmy by now. But whoa, I feel like the fun times are just getting started!

I have the drive and the time to learn all about the fediverse, so I can make sure diversity of opinions are celebrated, and not silenced. You all inspired me so much. Come on, isn't that awesome?!

There's a reason you all lost the election. It's because of attitudes like yours. You mock. You ban. You don't even try to listen. You assume ill intent at the first sign of disagreement.

And you lost. Against Trump of all people! lmao

I'm having a glorious, delicious time watching it all.

I haven't stopped grinning since election night. And I didn't even vote for the guy! But I sure as hell voted against you all. :)
