Today I noticed a huge wall of spam from UniversalMonk from 2 different accounts and didn't initially think much of it and blocked their communities but more spam came from different communities.

At this point I checked and saw that they had created several communities which then led me down the rabbit hole to discover that their posts had almost entirely covered the new posts page of both sh.itjust.works and lemm.ee. Later on I discovered that they're posting right-wing propaganda and misinformation from breitbart, foxnews you name it.


He's already caused and stirred shit 2 months ago and clearly I can see why now.

At this point it's difficult to believe that UniversalMonk will learn proper netiquette in: not post spamming, being considerate to others, and not sharing right-wing extremist content that no one wants.

So u want to silence someone for their beliefs.

Allowing people to spout whatever nonsense and cause harm to others is reckless at best, ignorant and insane at worst. I'm old but not old enough to have dementia.

Free speach does not mean u have a right to not be offended.

The argument of free speech so hollow, I've seen it used by right-wingers as a rallying cry when in reality free speech is free yes but simutaneously it does not mean free of consequences.

He's in violation of our TOS and probably several others which reminds me @[email protected] you'll want to see the last image with dumbass Zuck at the top
