Actually, ban evading is creating an alt account to purposely continue post into banned forums or on banned instances.
I haven’t ban evaded. In fact, I’m using my same username on other instances. That would make it even more difficult to ban evade, since people would see my same name. lol
Also, this is actually my own community that I created and mod.
So me posting to my own communities, regardless of what instance I’m on is NOT considered a ban evade either, because I’m not banned from this community or this instance under any name or instance.
And yes I saw your recent report on me–the one were you called me a “shithead.” You reported my post that I posted to my own community, friend. You also falsely accused me of ban-evading–again in my own community.
And you called me names in your report, tho I have never called you any names.
You seem frustrated with me. That’s your right. I have no problems with that and I have no problems with you.
So the best advice I can give you is to block my name and/or community wherever you see it. That way you won’t have to see my posts.

I addressed this in my comment. You’re making up a magic bullshit definition of ban evasion that ignores the intent of the action. Incidentally, this is why I said you seemed like a shithead and ‘the moderator’ should check you out (IIRC). I expect the reason they didn’t ban all users named “Universal Monk” on all instances is some combination of not expecting you failing to understand the purpose of a ban, not wanting to trigger abusable false positives (e.g. if I created a “Universal Monk” account on several separate instances and then spammed CP to get all of your Universal Monk accounts banned, that would be me abusing such a system to inflict a false-positive against you), and not having the tools to do so.
I wasn’t “calling you names”, I was explaining my personal conclusion after having read your comments and the context. The difference is that calling names is intended to hurt, whereas what I wrote was a frank statement of my conclusion. And I stand by it. I don’t remember my exact words (although I’m 99% sure I wrote “seems like a shithead”, which is different to calling you a shithead - the former is an observation of how you come across, the latter is a conclusive judgement on your personality) so if you could quote the entire report then I’d be happy to address any specific problems (“calling me names” is broad and vague), but honestly I don’t lie to moderators in reports so this is very-much a You problem.
And to reiterate: you are practicing ban evasion. Not on this instance, but on other instances. The fact that you don’t (claim to) understand that, is even more damning - it means you don’t recognize you’re breaking the rules, and therefore will do it again in future.
The fact that someone is ban evading in other communities (and seem to be willfully missing the point of a ban) is a good enough reason to report anyone to a moderator so that they can keep an eye on them or possibly just pre-emptively ban them outright, depending on their moderating philosophy - the point of bans is to curate the community and that means rejecting both bad-faith arguers and rules-lawyers who make the community worse (and to be clear, I don’t know which one of those you are but I don’t care because both suck). See Well-kept gardens die by pacifism.
And, as I mentioned in my comment above, I’ve never heard of you before so please kindly do some introspection here - on why a random stranger would conclude “this guy seems like a shithead” in 20 minutes flat just from reading your comments.

No, that’s the definition that admins go by when it comes to ban evasion. Which is why I haven’t been banned from the instances I’m on. They are in charge of what a ban evasion is, not you.
And to reiterate: you are practicing ban evasion. Not on this instance, but on other instances.
What instance have I posted on that I have been banned from that counts as ban evasion? The big ban was from lemmy.world. And I don’t post on lemmy.world. And in fact, blocked that instance. Because .world is a toxic shithole now.
What community have I been banned from that I have posted in? The admins on my instances totally know who I am. They have admitted that I haven’t evaded any bans, which is why I’m still here.
Just because YOU don’t like that, that’s not my issue. You’re not an admin that gets to make that call.
Part of the awesomeness of the fediverse is that we don’t have to stay in one place. If you get banned from an instance, you can go to another. That’s the point.
Also, if I wanted to ban evade, I would just come up with an alt name, on an alt instance, or even the same instance and keep posting.
I don’t do that. The admins know I don’t do that.
Here’s the thing: The admins of the instances I’m on, support my right to be on their instance. Accept it. I’m not going anywhere.
Personally block me whenever you see my name if you want. I totally accept that.
Oh! And I do have some more awesome news: I actually just created MY OWN INSTANCE as well.
And just started a new website and domain name and I’ll be creating another instance based on that website/domain name. And I’ll be running some mastadon stuff from it as well.
I’m going all in on the entire fediverse line of products too. It’s going to be what I do with my time.
I’m youngish, retired, fit and healthy, with no bosses or expectations. I don’t have to answer to anyone. And I can’t be canceled. So I have lots of free time.
Let me guess, you think that’s “ban evasion” as well, right?! lol
I don’t advocate anything illegal. Never have, never would. I don’t even post stuff that’s radical–Lemmy is just mad because I’m not a liberal.
So if this name does get banned, I’ll come up with another. And I’ll create another instance. And another. And another. Then we can talk about ban evasion, friend.
So it’s probably best that you just block me, and/or ignore me, and move on.
