For instance, let’s say there’s a troll who is infamous online to the point multiple people are chronicling the troll’s numerous antics.
The troll in question lies about everything about themselves. Their name is an alias, they admitted to using an AI generated voice while trying to get away with passing it off as their own. They steal women’s selfies to pretend to be another person. This is just a few examples, but this troll has gotten posts exposing them taken down because the posts reveal personal information, but if the personal information is fake to begin with, is that against the rules on most sites?
Depends. Do you like vigilantism? Then go ahead. If not, try reporting it to the moderators first.
But idk what this is about. Is it some teenage drama concerning someone with 20 followers on TikTok? I mean having several accounts and using voice changers and AI isn’t illegal. If they’re stealing pictures or molesting people on Minecraft or Roblox, you might be able to get them banned by reporting them. And if they’re lying here on Lemmy… We also have moderators. I’m not sure if we have tools to detect ban evasion.
vigilantism??? its the internet with a bunch of fake names. dealers choice to me. I agree though its just stupid stuff to me.
Well, there’s a lot of drama, he-said-she-sad, personal attacks. I think the sane approach is let moderators deal with it. And not create a toxic atmosphere by having users target each other and start all sorts of small and big fights. That’s what I meant by that.
The troll is a new mod of AskLemmy on Lemmy.world, and they locked their own thread after they trolled about Elon Musk’s Nazi salute having “been debunked though” and then gaslighting commenters about how “you can’t speak for other’s intentions”
They raised a big stink about being featured on Ye Power Trippin’ Bastards
I think people wig out about the power of mods. If a mod makes a community suck, which it will with such stuff, then folks with go elsewhere. then folks will complain echo chamber but its like hey man yeah places and who runs them will determing how broad their appeal is.
