Hello. I wasn’t sure where to post about this and a friend directed me here. This is about AskLemmy on the Lemmy.world instance’s newly appointed mod, shinigamiookamiryuu.

For clarity reasons I am going to mention they are also known as “Triagonal” and various other aliases. I’m using a fresh account because the person this post is about is known to dox the people who expose them, like they did with Morothias here

I’m also trans, so I’d prefer it if a person who tells trans people to shoot up schools (see image below) doesn’t have access to my main account.

Here’s a recent in-depth post which goes into detail about this person and includes lots of direct links.

====

Their modus operandi is this:

  1. They’ll do/say reprehensible things.
  2. When people give evidence of those reprehensible things in the form of direct links, they will call it “slander”. When this fails to work, they then try to gaslight everyone by saying “you’re taking it out of context” “you cannot speak for my intentions” , hoping people fall for it. This is a very common tactic they’ve used for years. Don’t fall for it.
  3. They paint themselves as a targeted victim, hoping people (including mods/admins) take their word for it and don’t look into the links that got posted.

There is a person who has an account on Lemmy, who has a 5 year long history of malicious trolling, doxing, catfishing, creepy comments they made to someone they knew was only 14, and telling a trans person to kill themselves after shooting up a school then gaslighting people on Lemmy about it by saying “where did I say anything about a shooter”. Their actions are such that multiple people are chronicling the various reprehensible things they’ve said and done and continue to do. They resort to doxing, impersonating, and harassing anyone who exposes them or isn’t on their side which is why a lot of people who call them out use fresh accounts for their own safety.

Here’s a screenshot of them telling a trans person to “do what the person in Nashville did”. They are referring to the Nashville school shooter, Aiden Hale, who was trans. They also called them a Japanese slur that is equivalent to the f-word

Here’s the creepy comments they made to a DeviantArt forum member who they knew was only 14 years old. They doubled down on it when confronted.

https://www.deviantart.com/comments/18/2617047/4886760940

They have also defended CP.

They raised a big stink on Ye Power Trippin’ Bastards for their mod actions on AskLemmy.

There are a ton of links to things the troll has posted, on their own accounts, such as when they trolled on AskLemmy on Lemmy.world by saying Elon Musk’s Nazi salute “has been debunked though” and proceeded to gaslight commenters in the comments, then locking their own thread. They are highly manipulative and try to paint themselves as a victim who is being targeted for no reason by calling the evidence in the links “slander” and saying “you can’t speak for other people’s intentions”.

Here’s them trolling about how Elon Musk’s Nazi salute “has been debunked though” and then trolling people once those people proved them wrong by gaslighting them about how “you can’t speak for other people’s intentions!”.

They like to portray themselves as an innocent person who is “being targeted for no reason” hoping that mods and admins who are unaware of their history take their word for it without looking into things. They will claim to mods/admins that they’re being doxed because their alias, which the troll publicly posts everywhere, was mentioned in posts exposing them. They do this because they want people who point out what they’re doing to be banned, not because they’re actually concerned about doxing. Please bear in mind that this user has been caught using an AI generated voice trying to pass it off as their own and they have been permabanned from Discord servers for making up excuses when asked by mods to prove they are who they say they are. They are using a fake internet persona.

Recently, they got permabanned from Bulbagarden after the administrators discovered “concerning off-site conduct”

They have been banned and had posts removed countless times for “trolling”

Proof https://lemmy.wtf/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=538316

Another thing this user will do is sign up on websites using the exact usernames of the people who originally exposed them on DeviantArt and then, once called out for this, will troll about being “inspired” by those usernames, omitting the fact they’ve 1. done this dozens of times 2. they only steal the usernames of the people who exposed them on DeviantArt. They’ll also list their country on the impersonation accounts as being from the country of the person they’re impersonating, among other things, like pretending to have DID on an account that’s named after a person on DeviantArt who actually has DID and then manipulate people by claiming people calling them out on this are “denying DID exists”.

They report any posts that aren’t on their side, claiming they’re being doxed because the poster used their alias, an alias they publicly use throughout the internet, and are known for faking many aspects of their persona online.

I apologize for the lengthy post, but is it appropriate for such a person to be a mod on AskLemmy, which is a popular community, given their actions both on Lemmy and off-site?

edit: They’re now in this thread saying Elon Musk’s Nazi salute was debunked and are comparing it to Pokemon. Link

        No, no, they’re both twits. One for drama posting instead of talking to admins, and they did post in multiple places. The other one is a dickweed for other reasons, the ones in the post.

        Also, dude, what the fuck? You’re not usually a dick to people like that? What bug flew up your ass today? Seriously, we’ve interacted a number of times, and you’ve never pulled that kind of douchey thing before, so I genuinely ask if there’s something wrong that you’re now doing it. What’s up?

      Right!? This is the most insane, unhinged thing I have read on Lemmy to date. OP spent many hours collecting a dossier to try to ban a user because they had a disagreement about the angle of Elon Musk’s hand gestures. This confirms my theory that 90% of Lemmy is cripplingly autistic.

      This type of dismissive attitude is extremely problematic for communities because it deincentivizes people speaking up about issues. Which often is the first step to solving these issues. Of course there are a lot of people who don’t care and the best advice I can give those people is their own advice. If protests and people standing up or speaking out against issues bothers you how about YOU block and ignore the people speaking up, or if you don’t want to just keep your mouth shut.

      It is by in large a good thing that people speak up about things that are wrong or causing problems, and they should keep doing it. Awareness of problems is very important. Especially when part of solving issues like these is to let management know of such problems.

        I mean your more dismissive of my advice your post requested from folks. Im offering what you asked for and did not imply its the only thing you should do or that you should not talk about it. If you want to do something else or if you did not want advice and just want to discuss it thats fine but you asked what can be done so I told you what I do. The whole reason im at the federation is that power is not centralized unless people allow it to be which im certainly not looking to do.

    First, I’m generally not following around people on YouTube and DeviantArt and random archive / link shorteners to gather evidence to ban people on Lemmy. I was not pleased when I clicked on the “evidence” and it took me to YouTube.

    Second, while I was very near ready to ban based on the denial of Musk’s Nazi salute, it does seem like they’re just horribly wrong. Maybe a bit of sealioning on this issue. I’d advise shin to avoid going further down this path, and hopefully you were just blatantly ignorant of the evidence others have provided (AfD, etc.)

    I’m open to revisiting in the future, particularly if they abuse their power as mod.

        See, if I had done something so boneheadingly stupid as an accident, I would immediately be putting out statements clarifying that it wasn’t a Nazi salute. It’s what we would expect any reasonable person to do.

        Elon Musk himself has not denied that it was a Nazi salute.

        Why do you think he’s refused to clarify?

            Typically, if you’ve been told to avoid going down a path, that usually means not commenting on it further, and also not constantly linking to the same place where you were told to avoid going down a path.

        What he “may have intended” is irrelevant. He knew what he did. He did it twice. Elon Musk is an idiot but even he isn’t so stupid as to not realize what he was doing. Having the absolute thinnest veil of plausible deniability isn’t an excuse.

        Your defense would be equally as applicable, and just as stupid, if he started requiring all Tesla cars to have a Swastika prominently displayed at all times, claiming “Well it was an ancient Buddhist symbol first, Maybe that’s what he meant!”

          How can anyone suggest he didn’t intend to do it? M-fer put more heart and back into it than Hitler ever did and then he clicked heel, did an about face, and doubled down with as much or more enthusiasm. There was nothing accidental about it. He’s an Afrikaner apartheid loving Nazi. I know everyone knows this but you all don’t have to waste your time arguing about what the entire world saw televised.

    It appears to me that he’s only arguing against the obvious nazi salute, but I don’t seem to identify a pattern here. It’s a bit thinly veiled evidence in my opinion.

    Everyone should have the right to be blatantly wrong on some issues as long as it doesnt affect moderation. And since mod logs are public, why dont we wait on real evidence that shows he’s unsuited to be a moderator?

    Im willing to be wrong myself here.

    As I see it, if he’s a Neonazi and can Act freely in his moderation decisions according to his ideology, the whole mod team would be compromised.

    So far it looks like a with hunt based on one single issue and a ban on a pokemon forum.

    Edit: Usually the Nazis try to keep a clean unidentifiable profile when they try to sneak into mod positions.

        He intended it. He very clearly, extremely clearly intended it. The best possible interpretation is that he instead to do it because he wanted to troll people and he’s the biggest moron imaginable, but that really doesn’t check out. He did it from behind the presidential seal.

        He was aware of what he was doing. He considered his actions well in advance.

        Attempting to add doubt to that idea is promoting the neo-Nazi agenda. You’re trying to turn his bullhorn into a dog whistle. It’s offensive and near bannable.

        I try to use words over mod/admin tools when possible, and if you’re trying to do what it appears you’re trying to do, then it’s not very effective.

          That’s the thing though. The majority of how the claims describe me don’t correctly describe me. There are some that exaggerate, some that take things out of context, and some that deal with guilt I had in the past but which I’ve realized the guilt of, made up for, and learned from. I am not above fault, there’s just no epiphany of fault I feel pending at this time.

          May I remind you the majority of it is years-old? The individual, meanwhile, is one of those known to chase me around trying to make attacks towards me for the sake of it, and them coming onto the scene wasn’t years ago. Whether they’re accurate of a measure of fault or not, if I can’t leave things behind to honor rules in new places without being given disciplinary action for those interactions, what would the point be?

        The fact this is all slander

        It isn’t slander when I can link to things you’ve posted on your other accounts over the internet, such as these comments you made to a DeviantArt forum member who you knew was only 14 on your permabanned “Triagonal” account, and like the user Red October said in this thread, Having the absolute thinnest veil of plausible deniability isn’t an excuse.

        https://www.deviantart.com/comments/18/2617047/4886760940

        aside from the doxxing parts

        You aren’t being doxxed. The alias you use is one that you’ve used publicly throughout the internet. You publicly list and interlink your accounts. You aren’t actually concerned about being doxxed, you’re going to lie to people that you’re being doxxed while omitting the important part (that the alias is one you publicly use) to try and get this post removed.

        Since people mentioned you using “plausible deniability” you made vagueposts/trollposts about it on Reddit under your NiotaBunny sockpuppet account. https://www.reddit.com/r/IdeologyPolls/comments/1infs5k/would_you_say_the_concept_of_plausible/

        Before you say “NiotaBunny on Reddit isn’t my alt”, you literally admitted that you own the account.

        I predict you will respond to this by gaslighting/sealioning over how everyone must be interpreting “yes” or “I” incorrectly.

        Proven wrong how? The links I’ve provided in my OP are links to things you have said and done, on your own accounts. The ones that are YouTube videos include screenshots, many of which are supplemented by links as well to prove that they are genuine. Once people point this out, you attempt to evade questions by changing the subject, claim that people must be misinterpreting everything, or say “you can’t speak for my intentions”, which is the same tactic that you used when you said that Elon Musk’s Nazi salute “has been debunked though” and then you locked your own post.

        When you use an AI generated voice on Discord that you try to pass off as your own, a lot of people are going to assume that you’re dishonest.

          What I said was I wasn’t going to go through with a specific stance such as mine anymore. And I will continue that promise. Simply talking about what an argument is about is not the same as progressing it. However, it should be mentioned that all promising that to the rule enforcer led to was their comment and my promise getting mass thumbs down, the discussion not dying down, and admins (which the rule enforcer who weighed in isn’t one of), both of World and my instance, informing me they don’t stand by everyone else here (and that I have not, at this time, brought upon any reason to be banned from any instance), even though they can’t or won’t do anything about the OP.

        No server on the Fediverse should is too big for blocking.

          No server on the Fediverse is too big for blocking.

          This is not true no matter how much people like you want others to believe it. The fact is that in the fediverse any server that has a significant IS to big to block, else userbase and interaction will suffer.

          To say this isn’t the case is to spread misinformation, as people who follow such advice will notice they have a much poorer Fediverse experience. This also does indeed apply to being banned from those large servers and communities as well.

            The fact is that in the fediverse any server that has a significant IS to big to block, else userbase and interaction will suffer.

            The second biggest Mastodon server is near universally defederated.

            The biggest Pleroma server is also universally defederated.

            You probably don’t know what these servers are, and that’s a good thing because the actual fact is defederating them improves the user experience for everyone else.

            To say this isn’t the case is to spread misinformation, as people who follow such advice will notice they have a much poorer Fediverse experience.

            Until July 2023, the biggest Lemmy server was lemmy.ml. It has now found itself defederated by many servers. If lemmy.ml was too big to defederate, how did it find itself defederated?

            The myth of “big server = undefederatable” that is misinformation. Big servers find themselves defederated all the time. See also: Gab.

              These are Mastodon servers, the rules of the game change dramatically once you bring in Lemmy and communities hosted on servers. At that point it becomes about active communities holding slices of the pie, as in amount of users participating in communites, size of those communities, and the size of the instance they are hosted on. To compare this situation to Mastodon servers which are user-centric, don’t have community hubs, and are based solely on individuals is to compare apples to oranges, or just trying to mince words.

              Now you seem to think that defederation of lemmy.ml is a big gotcha though they aren’t actually very large all instances considered, and have been shrinking. The bigger test would be defederation of a larger instance like lemmy.world which has been done with wildly different results. Enter Beehaw.org. They defederated lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works back in 2023 during the first Reddit Migration. Prior to that their communities were considered defacto community hubs. However a few weeks after they defederated lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works most of those communities became almost if not entirely dormant, and many users migrated from their instance elsewhere.

              Too big to block very much is an issue, and blocking servers that are too big will kill your communities. Of course there are people who believe that growth, reach, or userbase doesn’t matter. This is kind of a stupid argument because if platforms or communities don’t have any people in them creating content or replying, or voting, they don’t really function at all as a social platform. best case they function like a blog, worst case, they’re no better than writing your comments in chalk on the sidewalk.

                Nope, only one server I mentioned is a Mastodon server.

                Now you seem to think that defederation of lemmy.ml is a big gotcha though they aren’t actually very large all instances considered

                Actually, lemmy.world is not that big all things considered. It’s big for Lemmy, sure. But Lemmy isn’t that big at all.

                Enter Beehaw.org. They defederated lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works back in 2023 during the first Reddit Migration.

                Beehaw.org didn’t lose influence because they defederate the bigger servers. They lost influence because they took a heavy-handed approach to things. But if that’s how they want to run things—fine. No one owes anyone else federation.

                This is kind of a stupid argument because if platforms or communities don’t have any people in them creating content or replying, or voting, they don’t really function at all as a social platform.

                This is not a “platform”. It’s a software distribution for an open protocol. And how people choose to use that protocol is up to them.

                If you want to federate with everyone, that’s fine. If you don’t, that’s fine too. No one is putting a gun to your head and telling you who or what to associate with.

                But the fact is, defederation is an option. It’s always an option.

                  See you’re trying to mince words here but the point indeed does stand because microblog and community based engagement are wildly different from each other, and have wildly different expectations and stipulations.

                  Actually, lemmy.world is not that big all things considered. It’s big for Lemmy, sure. But Lemmy isn’t that big at all.

                  I don’t really know how relevant that is considering that the competing platforms aren’t federated to us. Honestly just seems like deflection to the main point. A server in the main community based fediverse sphere will suffer lower visits, and lower interaction if they block the biggest servers.

                  Beehaw.org didn’t lose influence because they defederate the bigger servers. They lost influence because they took a heavy-handed approach to things. But if that’s how they want to run things—fine. No one owes anyone else federation.

                  You are correct in that Beehaw’s draconian approach is what ultimately killed them off completely in the end, however defederation of the larger servers did play a bigger role than you’d like to give them credit for.

                  But the fact is, defederation is an option. It’s always an option.

                  I never tried to say or imply it wasn’t an option, because it is, but for big servers that contain more of the pie it’s a bad idea. Just like shooting yourself in the foot or sticking a rod in the spokes of your bike while you’re riding is an option, but they’re bad ideas.

                  This is not a “platform”. It’s a software distribution for an open protocol. And how people choose to use that protocol is up to them.

                  The Fediverse absolutely is a platform whether you like it or not, a decentralized platform but a platform nonetheless. They are free to use the protocols as they choose, but some options are poor decisions that will not favor them presently or in the future.

                  If you want to federate with everyone, that’s fine. If you don’t, that’s fine too. No one is putting a gun to your head and telling you who or what to associate with.

                  Now it really seems like you are misrepresenting my words here, trying to spin me as some anti-defederation troll. When the reality is I said that defederation of large servers and large communities has consequences. The inverse is also true, being banned from servers or communities in that larger slice of the pie has severe drawbacks for your own user experience on the Fediverse.

                  No one, certainly not me is saying you can’t, but there are consequences. It is important people are aware of these consequences. Something people peddling the common Fediverse talkingpoints really tells people. Like the fact that if you’re banned from all 5 of the biggest servers (community count + federated activity) you can basically consider your ability to be heard and participate hosed unless you create a new account with a new name, or if you block all the biggest servers on your server for being big, yours will likely be very unpopular and get very little interaction which kind of defeats the purpose of a social platform in the first place, federated or otherwise.

          No server on the Fediverse should is too big for blocking.

          These thoughts of yours are all very well in theory, but aren’t very pragmatic for most users IMO. I mean, why not just block the user, anyway? Or make posts like this here, seemingly putting the heat back on the troll(s) in question…

            OP’s problem is with LW allowing a certain person they don’t like to become moderator of the server. They could block the user, but their issue is that the specific user has power in an LW community.

            If OP doesn’t like that, and feels like that moderators presence is a non-negotiable, she has options.

              …But not necessarily great ones.
              (yes, and I know I’m being argumentative AF on this point; I do see the logic of what you’re saying)

              In any case, hopefully that troll’s influence across a giant instance like LW is relatively minor in the end. Also, by OP sticking to their SUBSCRIBE feed, they won’t have to deal with that community, either. shrug

                Let’s be real. What OP really wants is for a certain moderator to not have power on a server she deems as influential. Thus, she’s trying to leverage peer pressure in order to make that happen.

                But the moderator can join any server or create her own as well. So trying to remove her perceived influence is basically playing whack-a-mole, and because she herself doesn’t run any servers, peer pressure is an ineffective tool.

                So if the moderator is that objectionable, the reasonable thing to do is either:

                1. block the moderator
                2. block all communities the moderator runs
                3. block LW

                If neither of these options have the desired results, then I’m sorry – that’s just life.

                  Assuming good-faith effort, don’t you think it’s reasonable to publicly call out disingenuous, trollish behavior, especially with that sublemmy being one of the biggest ones across the FV?

                  Consider that we don’t have the same mechanisms across the FV as exist on Reddit, such that other means of correcting (evidently) terrible decisions (such as making a huge troll a mod on a big community) need to be explored at the very least. I.e., sometimes I think it doesn’t help in the end to run away from this kind of problem, and none of us should really want LW to drift towards an abomination such as HexBear, right?

        Could you point where here I have trolled?

        The fact it’s slander aside, are people forgetting that the stuff mentioned details things from long ago, and then applying that as an inherent detail of the individual (or something automatically applicable to them, wherever they go)?

        I haven’t broken a single TOS rule here or any community rules in this community. The person laying accusations against me has broken multiple.
