Long story short, there are individuals everywhere on the web who disdain me for different reasons who like to express that by smearing me, and one of them showed up in !fediverselore@lemmy.ca to make statements which are a mix of slander and unconsented reveal of personal info.
This is further shown by the fact that, if you see their info, their current name is a day old and none of what was said under it (with a single exception) pertains to anything unrelated to me (and the individual even openly redirects to some of the other places where they have harassed me, and in the responses I do too).
In classic fashion, the people responding there seem to not want to acknowledge the possibility that it breaks the rules, or that anything it says I am guilty of that I was ever actually guilty of was dealt with long ago (as opposed to it mainly being things taken out of context), and just keep saying “look what you’ve done”, because people like to circlejerk.
I ask the question I ask, however, because the community rule enforcer there originally removed the thread upon my first report but then unremoved it to lock it instead. Though I might not be focusing so much on the following aspect of this ordeal, this, one might say, demonstrates explicit intent in furthering what the poster is trying to do. I know that, in other instances, unconsented personal information is not allowed. Even the ML one removes anything that so much asks about your hometown often. There was a case where a Neo-Nazi had their personal info removed because “a line has to be drawn”. But me? I’m left thinking “wow, these people think I’m worse than a murderer, and that was before I did anything of note”. Which anyone would know is a sarcastic thought. What the post says doesn’t even follow the community’s rules, but in the name of populism, it’s there.
Is this against the rules (and what can be done)?
instance rule #7 is against revealing personal information, and the post you mentioned has been removed, as well as others related to it. sorry for the delay in dealing with it!
Hey, sorry to bother you again, but could you or whoever did it last time do the same to another one that’s doing the same thing? It seems the person running the Fedilore crowd is serious about lifting the troll up (it deals with another message that was removed but then unremoved).
it was already removed on our end, but the removal doesn’t appear to be federating. i attempted to remove it again, but not sure if that will work or not.
I’ve removed that thread for violating the community rules. I’m not sure I’d call it doxing since the posts they referenced are all in public locations but it’s from a new account, doesn’t obscure identities, and is obviously trying to start a witch hunt.

You say that like I don’t have proof of the part about me being banned from five places here being false, that bans are supposed to be seen as conclusively indicative about who someone is (especially when the whole point of a place being federated is that each part can act according to its own ideas), that half of the bans I’ve gone through weren’t them taking other peoples’ reasonings for me being banned for their word, that taking the national majority/ADL/Snopes stance on a gesture is the same thing as defending Nazis (I consider myself a rule-abiding member of this place; what was I supposed to do, not pay attention to misinfo?), that I was actually saying Fox News was reliable just because I cited them in my responses, that I’m any of the other people you talk about, that things said or done years ago that were reconciled for (some of which was taken out of context) should have any bearing to a rule-abiding individual in another location, or that I’ve been ban evading.

Slander is generally used when something is…
- Taken out of context
- Presents something as wrongful when it’s not
- Leaves out when an issue has been reconciled
What you’re spreading is a mixture of all of these things (there were at one time things I was actually guilty of, but I have since reconciled with all of these, and nothing you’re showcasing in the way you showcase them is an accurate depiction of me), and from the looks of it, you’ve only ever done it for the sake of it. Much of the accusations you throw at me, including supposedly defending Nazis (when nothing I’ve said is about defending any kind of murderers at all), exist ironically for the very reason that I try to look things over, analyze world issues and personal issues, and consider my sources, so many of which were fact-checking sources. Never did I say Fox was one of these, and being banned from wherever I’m banned from (which definitely doesn’t include five places) is not indicative of someone’s behavior, especially since the whole point of a place or service being federated is that people can manage things based on their own discretion. As someone who has been in charge of a number of places before, I also thus consider it wise that, unlike some people, I’ve never ban-evaded.
