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)?
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.
