There's likely going to be more

Probably because one of his alts was on dbzer0 and was banned for transphobia

that guy is the most succesfull troll in history. he single-handedly created havoc that big that russian trollfarm wouldn't have to be ashamed for and you continue to give him audience. just ban him and move on.

For context, Bungiefan_ak has no fewer than 4 alts that I've seen (all on different instances with the same username)

Spending that much money and time stanning for fucking Bungie of all decaying and bloated and corrupt treat companies is really something.

and has spent his time on [email protected] continuously spamming heavily transphobic, homophobic, and objectifying sexist "memes".

OF FUCKING COURSE.

Is this it?

its actually amazing how internet culture went from this anarcho-utopianism where information just wants to be free, maaan to reddit style races to the normie bottom. who gives a shit about intellectual property other than bowtie spinning economist dickheads and the beltway lanyard class?

We also pay for their bailouts and subsidies. Piracy is ethical.

Fuck I love the "ok" as deny reason...so simple, so beautiful.

That is legitimately one of the most disgusting things I've read, what is wrong with this person, why would he write that as an application.

Still laughing at the vast amount of people coming from reddit and expecting only chill people to be on lemmy. Like lemmy users are somehow immune to toxicity.

It's less toxic overall but we (or mostly the moderators) will have to fight them all the time.

At least it will improve the moderation tools which is always a good thing.

Props to him for fooling an entire instance

It's a bit more nuanced than that. Their servers are based in the EU and therefore a rather easy target for copyright lawsuits, and they have neither unlimited funds nor the manpower to fight them off (even if the allegations are completely unfounded, you need a lawyer to refute them, and lawyers charge actual money).

Sometimes it's easier to focus on your strengths than fighting the good fight on all fronts and go down swinging.

But it is hosted on your home server.

When you subscribe to a community, your home server downloads the content and passes it on to you.

This is not like when The Pirate Bay was allowed to live because it only hosted torrent files and not copyrighted content, in the fediverse, you copy the content to your own server, and pass it on to the client/user, which means hosting the content.
