Oh, man, I WISH this was a thing. I do buy cheap phones and run them until they absolutely can't be used. My current phone cost $100 and it's perfectly fine for what I do.

I do get jealous of the latest cameras on new phones tho. My phone cam sucks! lol

You are a troll and we’ve endured weeks of your bad faith reply barrages and even seen you bragging about downvotes.

I have only been on this slpnk instance for two days. And you can easily not "endure" me by blocking my name. So I'm not sure why you are so upset. Lemmy has plenty of tools to block voices you don't want to hear from.

Actually the "bragging" about my downvotes, was because it was trying to be weaponized against me. So I owned it and stood by my comments. And by the way, I still stand by my comments on that other instance.

I was downvoted on .world because of my opinions that Trump was gaining on Harris in the polls and posting articles saying that, plus my love for third parties. And as the election showed, what I posted was shown to be accurate.

Also, I did not vote for Trump--I voted for a Socialist third party, even tho that shouldn't matter when it comes to people downvoting me. But it does.

The most important part of all this is that all of that drama was on a different instance.

This instance isn't about that. The downvotes that this person's community bot banned me for WERE NOT based on me here on this instance.

I'm apolitical on this instance and I mostly post/comment about fitness, solar power, and cool anarchy stuff. And I have never hidden my username here or tried to hide who I was. I have never posted to any other instance with my slrpnk name.

The election is over. I don't think politics needs to come into every single discussion on this instance. And I have no desire to post again in that person's community.

The beauty of the fediverse is that it's decentralized. And no one voice or one point of view can be overpowering.

Plus this situation has been resolved here, so we can move on.

Ok, guys, now I get what happened. Even tho you all think I'm trolling, it's really because I'm an idiot.

So I THINK I have worked it out. Someone DM'd me the theory.

So auk's robot banned me from his community before I ever posted there under my slrpnk account, based on a downvote count that I had on another instance.

So since I never knew I was banned in his community (because the bot doesn't notify), I mistakenly posted there, and auk recognized the user name, thought I was ban evading.

So now I get it. But, auk, your bot doesn't notify people they were banned.

If people don't know they're banned (especially if they've never posted there), and then post there, I don't think it's fair to represent that as ban evasion.

But at least now I understand. I'm happy not to post there. It's all good.

Guys, I'm not a troll just because I'm still learning all the Lemmy stuff.

Thank you for the clarification. So are you saying that I posted to pleasant politics under my .world account? Because I only started this slprnk account recently and I have only posted to your forum once.

And your "bot" banned me and you don't have a record of when? And your bot doesn't notify people that they are banned, so how would I know?

The negative reaction you are referring to is because I would post news articles saying that Trump was gaining on Harris. But they were political articles from news sources. And after the election results, the articles I was posting ended up being accurate. And I advocated third parties. Which now many many people on .world are doing.

My time here on slrpnk has been apolitical and I haven't really posted anything political. And I haven't posted to any other instances from my slrpnk account.

My slrpnk account is for my fitness, my anarchy and solar interests. Here is my post history from here: https://slrpnk.net/u/UniversalMonk?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts

I had no idea I was banned from your community. I am fine not posting there. Seriously I had no communication that I was banned from your community until today. I thinks it a great idea for a community, but I am totally fine not posting there.

I just didn't understand why you were so upset. I have no desire for drama. And I'm happy to just stick to my little fitness community.

But I haven't posted to any communites on this instance that I've been banned from.

Dude, you literally just banned me from your community today and I haven't posted into pleasant politics since then. Under this name or any other name.

I don't even know why you are so upset! What did I post in pleasant politics that you are so upset about?

In fact, me using the same username shows that I'm being transparent and not trying to evade bans.

If I wanted to evade bans, wouldn't I just use a different username in order to hide the fact? I'm not evading anything, nor do I plan to.

Is having the same username on other instances a ban evasion though?

I was under the impression that a ban evasion would be being banned on an instance, creating an alt name on that instance, then continuing to post on that instance.

I thought the whole fediverse model was based on the fact that if your voice is sileneced on one instance, you could go to another instance. As long as it's not for spamming or trolling.

This is a serious question, not being facetious. I have not been banned on lemm.ee or slrpnk, nor have I posted in !pleasantpolitics@slrpnk.net after being banned there--in fact i didn't know I was banned there until just now.

I'm not sure what you're meaning. I'm not sealioning, I genuinely don't understand what you are so upset about.

Here are my post logs from both accounts:
