Tf? Dude…. lol! The reach you’ll shoot for to think you have a point is astounding!

Well, You're more than welcome to reach out on more secure comms, such as matrix to get the proof! It's strange how that's basically standard for most of the other respectable instances, but not here.

Weird how he's just not gonna give it away. I'm sure any day now they'll have proof he's a robot and also a Tankie and also a fascist and also a shill and also...

Give the documents then? And am I a bot now too?

Interesting how you continue to leave out the security implications of posting this publicly.

Odd that.

I know not if you are a bot, you aren't on my instance, nor would it be likely you could get through my process.

I do know that you are awfully defensive of sockpuppet like behavior though.

Show the proof then.

Again, not finding evidence he is- isn’t proof he isn’t. They NEVER once said he’s not- they said they didn’t find proof.

And they didn’t find any because they didn’t even fucking bother to look- because they’re someone that HAD proof and they never talked to him. So go ahead and fuck all the way off with this bullshit.

And….

LMFAO! I’m a republican because I think you’re full of shit? My god, how are you not embarrassed by your own smug bullshit?

Tankies are weirdos but they aren't far right. They're dipshits but not far right.

They said we somehow are to the right of them for not praising stalin and saying killing anarchists was bad.

It's amazing, we're tankies to .world but Tankies think we're liberals.

Yeah, I would advise you to delete your alt mirroring him because it makes it harder to isolate for him.

Low moderated might be a better way of putting it.

They are an admin, it might not be federating. Here I can't see you're an admin but on your instance I can. I think Lemmy just bugs out on role tags.

Do I know if they are the exact same individual - no - I can’t know that because I don’t have IP information from other instances.

Well that is entirely what I was trying to find out. So to be perfectly clear, you have NO evidence that the person behind these bots is Universal Monk? But you came here to point the finger anyway.

To use this limitation as a bludgeon is dishonest.

I beg to differ. Because literally anyone could be behind bot signups on your instance. But you came in here and emphatically accused Universal Monk, based on what?

So my question is, what sort of person would use bots to signup under their own name? It makes no sense, they obviously wouldn't. But someone might well use the name(s) of people they want to subject to ongoing harassment. In what reality is that the less likely scenario?

I do not typically share my methods with non-admins, and definitely not over a public forum like this.

Just to clarify, I never asked you to post it publicly, matrix would be fine. But I think it's pretty unfair to level an accusation at someone publicly and then refuse to provide the evidence for it being that user. There is a power differential at play here and there are real life negative consequences for the user being accused.

P.S. Praise be to the Flying Spaghetti Monster we aren't considered a "respectable instance"

I view it as karma, the unlearned lesson, that led all of us, to borrow a biblical expression, that led to us having corrupt politicians.

To explain: We were okay with Dems insider trading because "it was different," and "not as bad as." So corruption grew and we got what we got. And we will keep getting that until we hold ourselves and "our side" to the same standards we expect from others, from our plug on the corner to blowing up Venezuelan fishermen to combat drugs, but it's really for oil and rare earths, or genociding Palestinians because Democrats wrong their hands while persuing genocidal policies through a state fighting proxy wars on our behalf because of our "interests in the area."

Because if we refuse to root it out of ourselves and "ours," why on earth would "they and theirs" root it out in themselves, giving us an unfair advantage? Escalation continues, and we are seeing a very real chance of nuclear holocaust now, because it's always different when it's us, of the "us" saying so.

And yet a few do hold ourselves and ours accountable. That's why the troika isn't engaging in cm002 tactics, and Iran didn't obliterate an illegal state engaging in war crimes, including genocide, despite having the weapons and skill to anahilate everyone, disregarding women and children in the area, as Israel did to Palestine.

But do you. And marvel how the world is now on the brink of MAD.

;-}

Much nice, thanks.

Some explanation. Density is effectively a measure of how "compact" a given community within the system is. Its the average rate of "agreement" for any given vote direction (weighted or unweighted). You could think of it as being how "concerted" a group of voters are.

You have some options with how you build the networks. You can use just upvotes, just downvotes, or you can 'weight" the upvotes or downvotes. Weighting is important because some users just vote, way way more than others. In fact, there are users you can find in the wild who have practically never commented or posted, but vote on practically everything they see. Its not a safe assumption to make to suggest that everyone votes in the same manner or that voting as a tool is used the same way by all users.

In this network, we did "weighted" downvotes, so the weights are proportioned by the users total down-votes cast.

So the "Avg down weight" can be considered the "total average shared percent of user downvotes". So in that first community, about half a percent of the communities total average downvotes are in concert.

You can of course use upvotes, or unweighted down or upvotes, and I'm just pushing a version now to do a k-partite version of the same thing with individual weights, so just.. go nuts if you like.

Suspicion score is finally:

density* average_down_scaled* 10000

This means groups with high density and high downvote coordination have higher suspicion socres. The 10000 is just to make the number something easier on the eyes.

Thanks homie!

This is strange, it says I'm banned from my own instance. I'm so very confused.

And big lol at all the "serial down voting" bans. I thought voting was public, and I do not down vote often.

I must've seriously pissed off a prolific mod.

Lol.

It's all the shit I talked to them!

This is a good trip down memory lane.
