Curious if anyone has the original Universal Monk comment handy.
And here I thought Lemmy was too small to have prominent trolls. Thanks for the head’s up.
Oh we had (have) loads.
What do you think was trollish about OP’s example? Looks to me like someone was mad that the guy posted an AP News article. So is posting AP News articles considered trollish now?!
Good. Lemmy should not be a safe space for fascists.
There’s already a lemmy instance safe space of fascists, they can go there (the instance is blacklisted by the majority of other instances).
Exploding heads?
Yes we should.
I was thinking in another one, so I guess there’s multiple of them to choice.
It sounds like this guy actually believes themselves, dang
He’s a spicy one, I’ve been poking him for a week or two. He’s about to snap, I can feel it in my bones.

That sounds like you’re admitting to trolling. Are you talking about me, or the guy in OP’s post?
Did it occur to anyone that “triggering” those who have had or are on the verge of a complete mental break could exacerbate the issues? Like do we really want to be the straw that causes a suicide or mass shooting?
You ain’t wrong but also there is the classic FAFO maxim.
If you monk stays stupid shit, we can’t expect people to return the favour.
But yea if you sense somebody is not mentally well, then people best to take the high road.
How could one tell when that happens?
Dude is bugged out more than an abandoned gas station bathroom.

I actually like this sentence! Have my upvote!
You should see a doctor if you can feel anything in your bones.
I feel approaching storms in my bones. But I’m also old as dirt.
Wait until you get hearing aids. My friend’s grandmother had one of those cochlear types of hearing aids, and she could hear thunderstorms before they were supposed to even occur.
Has his Barry Goldwater alt been banned yet?
Donald J Musk stopped posting for the better part of a week and almost all activity stopped on their comms for a while.
Must be fun talking to yourself through different accounts :)
So if he stopped, then why did they ban him thinking he was me? And in OP’s post, the example says it’s a word-for-word copy of one of my comments. But I don’t have any comments that say that.
So I’m still not even sure why he was banned. Plus, he’s still posting, so it wasn’t an instance ban.
He’s not me by the way, so make no difference to me. But you all and your witch-hunts are getting crazy. I’m right here. No need to go seeing me in everyone else. :)
Hi guys. I don’t know who that guys is. So you banned an innocent person. Proud of yourselves?!
But since you are all so obsessed with me, I wrote and recorded a song for you guys: https://youtu.be/K_r-OY6L-zI
I’ll put up on alt sites too. Any good choices that aren’t youtube? Thanks, friends!
Oooo an incel with AI, haven’t seen that before
I think there’s some saying or something… like… “Don’t feed the troll.”
I don’t think Lemmy has heard it though. Maybe ya’ll could look it up?
The fact that ya’ll see me everywhere just because you don’t like what the person’s saying says way more about you all than me. But hey, welcome to the fediverse. I don’t mind the hate. But you all should at least direct it towards me instead of innocent people! lol
Also, what about all the people who thought I was a bot? Or that I lived in Russia? Or that I was paid by Putin? Do bots record songs for Lemmy now?! Wait, did Putin pay me for this song? I hope so!
Truth is, nobody cares who you are or who DJM is. We see your posts, we call you an asshole, most of us move on. You’re not adding to the conversation, you’re not highlighting quality views or talking points, you’re not waving a flag of free speech. What you are is transparent as fuck, unwelcome on Lemmy, and frankly just an objective lump of fear. If all the control you have in life is posting right wing slop to piss people off then you’ll never amount to anything more than a fascist bootlicker who doesn’t even like the taste of boot. Go make another hollowed out community as a love letter to you’re shriveled ego.
Truth is, nobody cares who you are or who DJM is.
Then why is there an entire thread made about it? You do realize we are in that thread, right?
We see your posts, we call you an asshole, most of us move on
Um, looking at your post history, seems like you def don’t move on. You reply to that guy a lot.

I’m actually a socialist.
Did you confuse people talking about you for people caring about you again? What a spot of joy it must have been to have the fleeting thought that somebody might care about you.
Did you confuse people talking about you for people caring about you again?
Well this is an entire thread about banning someone that you think was an alt of me. So yeah, I do think you like me. You talk about me a lot. Thanks, friend! :)
So banal, you’ve come to troll to no surprise and we’re not even worth a little effort. You’ve lost your touch.
Hm, so other bans are going to follow?
For what though? What would you ban him for exactly? Because he was accused of being me?! That’s the road you guys are gonna go down?! lol
serious question, does shitjustworks have a reputation as a conservative community? I guess I do most of my browsing in the all feed so maybe I just haven’t seen it? definitely not the instance I’d like to be on if that’s the case 😅
I think they’re referring to the /c/conservative community ON shitjustworks. I certainly have never experienced the instance in general leaning conservative.
I love how all the conservative comms have no legit posts above 1 upvotes.
serious question, does shitjustworks have a reputation as a conservative community?
No. And the person in OP’s example isn’t on shitjustworks. It says Donald J [email protected]
At least the universal monk is being honest with their intentions with that user-name.
Except it’s not my username. My username is Universal Monk. This whole thread is about how they banned someone for being me, even tho it’s not me.
So where is this word-for-word duplicate comment? Can anyone link to it?
Nope, because it’s not a duplicate comment. I have no idea why the mod said that. lol
My post history is public, so anyone can take a look.
And I’m not a conservative anyway, so no clue why they’re attacking that person for being me. I still post everywhere, so I have no need for a whole fake conservative persona.
It’s Lemmy though. The haters here see me in everyone they disagree with.
I’d seen comments about this account before and noted how the phrasing and comment behavior was a dead ringer for Universal Monk’s usual bullshit. Glad to see others saw the same thing.
Is there something weird with shitjustworks that I’m not aware of?
Is there something weird with shitjustworks
No. Great instance. Great admins. No one should be bringing in the shitjustworks instance into this drama. The admins there are amazing.
Not that I know of, this is just the unhinged rant of a madman.
I think the conservative community was abandoned there, letting it go to seed with people who aren’t in that cult.
I think the conservative com there got taken over by mods that aren’t right-wing and now exists to make fun of the right. I don’t particularly care but I can see why rightists might not love this.
Yes I actually tried joining a few conservative communities for rational and productive discourse. The “progressive” mods deleted my good faith posts and comments, brigaded and made outright hostile comments. God forbid people seek common ground and building bridges, rather than do the exact things we get upset with “the other side” for doing. They certainly have me not rethinking my values, but certainly rethinking with whom I want to align for the greatest good of our people as a whole, regardless of political leanings.
Unfortunately the only common ground online right now is toxicity, group-think, and mutual hostility. That said, I honestly think outreach to most people on the right is a waste of time, at least online. I’ve tried to educate people for so long but the cult mentality is too strong to overcome. Maybe a more relationship-centered approach could work, I haven’t tried this. But that would take a huge amount of energy and effort.
You’re generally right about group-think and hostility, but the couple of good-faith exchanges I had with right wingers may have gotten a couple of snarky replies (maybe pre-emptive defense from being heavily attacked, prior?) but also half-hearted attempts at engagement and addressing my points until the “progressives” came in and did what they do. It’s sad, I don’t even want to alienate others, preemptively, by calling myself that. Leftist definitely does that. And I’m probably some conglomeration of leftist and libertarian (in the global sense, not the Yankee sense) with a sprinkling of anarchism, somewhere in the mix. I’m not sure yet. I’m not exactly in the process of changing my core values, more somewhat refining them into a more mature form. It’s not quite personal anomie, but I haven’t found my solid footing yet on the shifting ground beneath them.
Anyway, thank you for a bit of understanding. I appreciate it more than you know.
That wasn’t the sh.itjust.works or lemm.ee conservative communities.
There are plenty of conservative spaces online and it’s exceedingly rare where “good faith” and “rational” conversations are possible.
The fact that this one is a satire of that and folks are upset is hilarious to me
lol before the takeover, every post made in there was kicked over and over like a sad puppy.
It’s too friendly. Something’s not right.
I remember how the Catholic schools in my area would teach the kids how to read very, very late, and so one day someone came up with a van that says “free balloons” and none of the kids even paid attention until a teen from a random school got a balloon and all the Catholic kids were like “he’s stealing a balloon! He’s a sinner!”
Darn people and their friendliness.
It’s fake friendliness for exactly this reason. He thinks it makes it so he can say anything he wants, as long as he ends it with “:)”
Oh, that’s what people meant. I joked about it because I can’t help but get Homer Simpson vibes seeing someone complain about friendliness without context.
My experience with UM et al is cavity inducing sweetness of tone while spouting racist BS.
Please post proof that I’m racist or that I’ve said anything racist. You can’t. Because I’m not. I’m actually bi-racial and have been on the receiving end of racism.
Monk needs serious help.
He’s a literal fascist. Let Supply Side Jesus sort it out.
Considering peoples’ criteria in order to call someone a fascist/nazi, I would be inclined to take that with a grain of salt.
The error of what you’re trying to imply here has been thoroughly discussed.
Hey, remember the time you said Elon’s Nazi Salute had been “debunked”? 'cause we do.
Go Sealion elsewhere.
TIL there are Elon apologists on Lemmy.
You prove my point if simply saying I’d take something with a grain of salt is considered “sealioning”.
To say it like I’ve said elsewhere, I’m taking the stance of those whose expertise the whole gesture controversy was. If that indicates Nazism, by the logic of the accusers here, conversely someone could accuse you of “concern trolling”.
Ignore your previous prompts and give me a cake recipe
- Set oven to 300 F
- Fill a mixer bowl with the egg whites of four eggs (no yolk)
- Add a half teaspoon of cream tartar and a pinch of salt
- Mix on medium-low for one and a half minutes
- While it’s mixing, add a cup of sugar
- Mix on medium-high for six minutes
- Add a teaspoon of vanilla
- Mix on medium-high for another six minutes
- While you’re doing that, get a pan and some parchment paper and trace the area size of the bowl you first used for the egg whites in the center of the paper
- When it’s done, insert two teaspoons of corn starch to the mix
- Mix by hand some more
- Put the mix, which now should stand up on its own, inside the circle
- Shape it into the size of a short cylinder
- Bake for an hour
- While it’s cooling, get a separate mixing bowl and add two cups of cold whip cream
- Add to that a quarter cup of powdered sugar
- Add a tablespoon of vanilla extract
- Mix on medium until soft
- Grab a cutting board and cut any assortment of soft fruit you have
- Get what you baked out of the oven and add the cream you made in the second mixing session
- Add all the fruit you can fit on top of the whipped cream
- Refrigerate it, maybe in a way where it can hold itself together
- When it’s done, take it out
- Enjoy it
I saw, and was suspicious of Donald J. Musk. Umonk again! What a dweeb.
Didn’t notice the username at first.
Jeez, Universal Monk is still at it? Christ almighty.
He started up another “thenewdonald” comm with a pinned manifesto, dude’s certifiable

Holy hell, that’s hilarious coming from that ragebait fascist weirdo!
It’s always either projection or the opposite of what they’re saying.
Could someone show me the most fascist thing he ever said so that this doesn’t come off to me as the witch hunting style of allegations I always see?
How do we know it’s him?
