UM used to post a ton of conservative bullshit, then would get offended when it was downvoted into oblivion, then would go off on unrelated rants and would message people heinous bullshit. We’re talking posting and commenting like it was a full time job. That account got banned, and he created a bunch of alts on other instances to get around it. It was always suspected that DJM was an UM alt, and then was confirmed when he posted one of UM’s rants word for word. Once you know what to look for it’s pretty obvious. Most of the accounts I know of were created on the same day, have the same style of weird AI created avatar (pretty sure they’re made using the Dream app by Womble), and all have some sort of vaguely libertarian sounding quote in their profile.

I think there’s a few posts about UM on fediverse lore as well.

Lemmy.world has been pretty good about blocking the alts as they come up because they like derailing threads, baiting users into breaking rules, arguing pointless semantics, rule lawyering and/or making everything about themselves.

They never give proof, not even IP addresses. They claim similar writing styles but they aren’t similar at all, beyond using the same language.

Edit: Downvoting another user wanting proof isn’t proof.
