I respect ya for owning up to it tho. Good on ya, mate!
Holy crap, I just went down that rabbit hole after clicking your links. Wow. Just wow. Thanks for this detailed post. You explained it all perfectly.
Just in case anyone out there thinks that I'm exaggerating about the venom spat towards me and some background of why piefed.social was so quick to ban me without looking at anything, this is from two days ago. Notice a different mod asked someone else to use their custom program to "investigate" me. It's a public comment made 2 days ago, but I blurred names of poster and the mod since they aren't part of my original complaint. I think this is allowed just for background of how far some Lemmy people go. If not I can delete, and I can also send the actual link (it's a public comment) to mods.
I'd love to see the results of this "investigation!" lol

i've been mctruth'd!! i'm officially famous.
wait!! hold up!! i thought i was the real REAL for real chad mctruth. i am everyone who has ever annoyed anyone on lemmy!
thank you for your service, you damn hero! or am i thanking myself? i forgot again.
It's my understanding that vitural signaling (as used as an insult on Lemmy) is saying you're something that you're not. But I am what I say I am, though I'm sure some have tried to ban me for that as well.
Guy, you and your instance rock. You are on top of things. Love it! I've been slowly moving some of my stuff to there, and it's been awesome so far.
but yeah it must feel pretty wild to be internet infamous!
It is kinda weird. I tried to introduce my gf to Lemmy (she hated it), but as I was showing her around, she did a search for "Universal Monk" in the search bar. Obviously lots of results cuz lots of people hatin' on me. The first thing she reads is a thread called, 'I'm calling for the Fediverse to ban Universal Monk.' Which is basically a post with over 300 comments of people saying the most ridiculous shit about me.
So she reads that and a bunch of other comments about me, and sees all my bans. She turns to me and says, "What the fuck?! You're the most boring guy in the world. How is this possible?" lmao
We just have a different opinion. Mine, of course, is the right one, but that’s a different matter
Oh, man, I thought my opinion was the right one. Dammit!
Thanks, friend. :)
Oh, that could be!
Crap! I answered, but you make it sound way more mysterious, so I deleted my answer!
Good points. Mods, I give a little more leeway to. I expect a bit more informative reasons from admins giving instance bans. It makes me think that the admin just assumed bad stuff because of my rep without any actual proof or research. Especially since I posted nothing controversial on his instance.
