    See? This is the bullshit this poster throws out when confronted.

    NOBODY is going to go make a scatter-graph of this poster’s posting habits to show how often it’s on posting. We’re just going to do the easy maths. Like I just did. ON AVERAGE this poster makes a comment every 18 minutes. If it sleeps 8 hours, we would divide 80 by 16, and the posting rate becomes an even more insane once per 12 minutes, every waking moment of the day. And then we start asking other uncomfortable questions, like…‘does this person work for a living? Or is this person’s work posting on here for a living?’ Not where I think this poster wants us to start drifting in our thinking, I don’t think.

    But that fits with the ban for trolling this poster got. It knows that once every 18 minutes, or once every 12 minutes sixteen hours a day, or once every six minutes eight hours a day looks bad, so it starts distractifying with the nonsense that I’m saying straight out that it stays up 24/7/365 which would make it a bot or at least a group of people operating on 24 hour shifts. I’m just saying that if you average it all out, this poster is dedicating ridiculously stupidly large amounts of time to force it down our throat that it’s voting third party.

    Again. I’m only interacting with this poster because we’re not crushing Trump 70 to 30. Were we, I’d not even bother with this foolish human (?) – let it waste its vote if it wants, that won’t make Trump more likely. But somehow, Trump is pulling 49.8% in some very scary places, and we ALL need to be all hands on deck, and the only reason you wouldn’t be is if you don’t mind if Trump wins and fucks the entire goddamn country in the process.

      They throw out weird bs because it’s more than one person and they’re confused

      Well, then maybe don’t post my stats if you can’t back them up. But as you are admitting now, the numbers you’re talking about are averages, they’re not literal timing intervals. I’m actually proud of my posting numbers. Not embarrassed at all.

      And then we start asking other uncomfortable questions, like…‘does this person work for a living?

      Not uncomfortable for me. I’ve mentioned my occupation several times. In fact, there was a whole chain of one poster mocking me for what I do for a living and the low pay I get! I’m a teaching assistant in an underserved, undefunded public school. I’m not uncomfortable or embarrassed about it. I love what I do!

        Nah, I don’t think I will listen to what this poser is saying…err, sorry, POSTER. Missed a T there. I swear it was accidental. :)

        1. This is the Internet, where the Men are Men, the Women are Men, the Children are FBI Agents, and nobody knows I’m a cat.
        2. If it is true what this poster is saying it does for a living, does that mean it’s stealing company time, or just REALLY dedicated and posting one post every 12 minutes for 8 hours when it’s not eating, sleeping, and working?
        3. It really loves to tell people what they can and can’t do. No, I don’t think I will respect its commandment that I not post its stats if it doesn’t get to curate what I’m saying with them. I stand by my statement. This poster posts a ridiculous amount of time. So much that it can be questioned. Dear reader, it’s up to you to decide if once every 18 minutes on average over every day of this poster’s time on Lemmy is a mark of a real poster, or someone who is far more nefarious.

          I approve of this list wholeheartedly. I’m not sure how y’all aren’t getting blocked btw. This dude blocked me so fast lol. I must’ve struck a nerve with them.

            Can you link the comment he blocked you on? Maybe that’ll give me an idea of how to get him to block me. :3

                Oh, I remember that thread. Mr. Monk here got all bent out of shape thinking that the person who replied to its thread was calling it a shill or plant, when it was obvious the commenter was referring to the subject of the article, the “Libertarian” who dropped out when it became clear he was drawing more votes from Democrats than Republicans, a shill or plant. I laughed at that. Dude has a persecution complex for sure. And then he accused you of being an admin of that instance he got banned on? I really want to post a Bugs Bunny “What a maroon” meme, but the mods might delete the comment for attacking Monk. So I’ll just say the convicted Sealion sure acts like a fool…

                I actually had nothing against the article, but this was one of them that clued me in that this guy was nothing good.

                  Yeah. I especially like that I supposedly created a Lemmy instance with a very specific name (associated with West Virginia, no less…?) a year ago, waited 10 months, banned the troll from it, then waited another month or so to come taunt him about it. And of course to keep this all secret, I use an account on lemm.ee! muAhAH

                  The actual takeaway here is that he gets really butthurt when banned. Might have to do with the fact that reddit banned him. I saw a post here on Lemmy that claimed UniversalMonk was also a reddit shitposter for a decade or more. Wouldn’t surprise me if true

                  Source: https://lemm.ee/post/44398287

                  Any luck getting banned so far? I bet if you point out their reddit ban, that’d do it.

                    Nah. I really haven’t spent that much time on that poster. I have a life, and I think the mods are trying to tell me ‘engage with this person less’. It’s sad that the Mods aren’t taking this behaviour by this poster more seriously. All I can really do is call it out on its BS, and wait until after the election when its BS won’t be as effective at depressing Dem turnout. That’s all I’m really waiting for. The sad thing is we will be playing this game again in 2028 because this kind of BS is more effective than it should be, given the cruelty and stupidity of the average American voter.

          If it is true what this poster is saying it does for a living, does that mean it’s stealing company time, or just REALLY dedicated and posting one post every 12 minutes for 8 hours when it’s not eating, sleeping, and working?

          Again, we are talking averages, remember? We already figured out that it’s not literal. I don’t post every 12 minutes. Remember our last conversation from 3 minutes ago? You even admitted it’s not literal, and here you are going again like it is literal. You know, there are time stamps on comments and posts…lol

          Also, are you at work right now, while you are replying to me? Because we’re actually replying to each other right now. I don’t work nights, but I don’t know about you.

          We are both replying to each other in real time right now. Think about that for a second. Are you stealing time from your employer because you are replying to me right now? Or is it simply that you are home right now, like me?

          You’re free to believe what you want to, friend. If ya don’t like my explanations, that’s cool with me. I’ve just posted some more stuff too, so my stats are updating again. Thank you!

        Not embarrassed at all.

        And this is the problem. You’re the kid who keeps shitting in the pool. Because it makes you laugh and everyone else hates you for it.
