In short

I got a reply from a prolific anti-vegan troll and referred them back to an earlier conversation we had. Got banned for “harassment” and “following someone around” when in fact they replied to me and keep following vegans around when they post against anti-vegan propaganda.

And the posts in question:

The comments when I posted them rendered as

Oh hey its you

The link is to a discussion which expanded is this here (The link goes to the comment with the highlighted star):

With background

The person in question is a very dedicated anti-vegan troll who is known to make non-sequitur claims as replies to vegans, in the hopes of roping then into a defensive position under the guise of “debate”.

To exemplify this I engaged with them a couple months ago and got a perfect showcase of their behaviour. I had never used this and have never replied to them since then (at least I don’t remember that I have and searching didn’t turn anything up). But then when they replied to me yesterday I did. And got promptly banned for “harassment” and “following someone around”. I messaged the mod who banned me to no reply.

Their behaviour is being enabled by lemmy.world mods like @[email protected] who will readily delete comments made by vegans should they dare step a foot outside of the norms of “civilized debate”, like e.g. in the same thread (1) and (2). The petulant and incessant trolling by them is of course never subject to such moderation actions.

To any vegan comrades, do not engage this troll, you risk getting banned and your comments deleted.

Apparently I used wrong account to post this. Will have to switch accounts to my blahaj account on occasion to reply to comments, apologies.

    Guys posts valid opinions in a threat about veganism, notably NOT in a vegan community. Then you get all stalkery for now reason. If you can’t deal with opposing opinion in neutral spaces, block and move on.

    YDI.

        You literally just dug up 2 year old comments to make your point …

          Yeah while researching for this post… Meaning I dug into their past posts after I got accused of stalking in order to better showcase their behaviour to an audience that isn’t familiar with them. What behaviour made the accusation of stalking and ban for it appropriate?

          edit: blobfox, blobfoxlaugh also they encourage digging into their past to look at how long they’ve been doing this, on the same comment:

          … i do encourage you to sort my comments by old.

          i have been objecting to your feckless method of protecting teh environment for years.

            Then what exactly did the two removed links you posted contain? They don’t work any more but it feels like they were linking to this guys post history.

              A past discussion we had that I had marked for later. I mean I did write that I engaged with them before that, so I think it’s pretty clear that I didn’t have to go out of my way to look for it, since it’s a discussion they had with me. I even had it bookmarked for reference. I don’t know why they dont show up for you, they work for me: lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/15837346

              edit: I understand the confusion now and will amend the summary to clarify. Thanks for pointing that out.
