Before I begin, this is a genuine question for the help desk. All of it is relevant. My experience with help desks brings me to fear this is going to be removed, but I have enough faith in its fairness to try.

So first of all, hi. The fediverse is more confusing than I thought it would be. I am from ML (first comment there right now confirms it, also I previously mentioned we were the same on a message about dueling, which sparked this whole situation in the first place) but was told by an admin to register a WTF in order to post some things because of how much was invisible from ML (not because I was banned from any instance but just because potentially anything can affect something’s visibility) and because I needed to post here after I was mentioned. I was mentioned in an anti-troll message as “an alt of shinigamiookamiryuu”, which is false, as shown by the fact I am clearly not banned from ML like she is (and yes, she is a she, I even have documentation of actual voice chats and even video chats to prove it, not the ones that aren’t of her. And no she is not some warlock-looking person whose picture was taken and brightened by people trying to expose her, she has a picture with big bold letters confirming it’s her that predates the first picture which was a Halloween prop commissioned to a friend who could do silhouette stock clipart. And that individual had her picture taken again and was confirmed to be a woman but then was misgendered anyways in another famous feud, showing those who diagnose gender are BS.). If I sound like her, it’s because we commission messages and parts of messages stuff for each other, which isn’t uncommon on here either, cough cough Blaze cough cough Cheese Greater cough cough Drag cough cough, sorry my throat caught a bone.

I’m allowing myself to go on that tangent because one of the two reasons I came here to this help desk today because I would like to ask what can be done about that faux anti-troll message and all the other ones across different names that mention me, because of all the associations it puts together (e.g. if me = someone = nazi, it would mean me = nazi, and that’s false). It attacks me (and by extension my projects) though it spreads false rumors about a number of us (dare I bring up people allow that to ignite fury in ourselves, other members, and even eyes-bigger-than-stomach admins when the rest of us are asked to standby by others). I can’t really see why, as VPNs work in the fediverse like jedi mind tricks work on Watto, so I should be able to confirm (to all but the few people who are unaffected and seem fed up by the constant hounding, as well as the admins who express disagreement (as well as confirm through not wanting to ban Leni that she is legit and not some impostor of any kind; i.e. she and her supposed achievements were vetted) with the masses who are still sour even when the subject yields) that I’m not an alt of someone who was banned from ML. I’m not even a Republican, a feat considering they’re half the nation, whether or not someone is going to argue I only have to specify that due to it not being a bipartisan issue. Unlike the Luigi issue (which she is trying to curb in the community, as per community Rule Six and as per the TOS, as most of us would do if we came across Axis-Power-inspired hate speech), which should be cracked down on if even those who say they’re all for free speech are cracking down on anything remotely related to Musk. I am 100% Social Democrat and think Musk overestimated his defense (I’d even deport him if I was Trump), which is why it hurts even more when I’m the one who is a victim of others’ dependence on being spoonfed by very testy and violent people when peoples’ power to ask for everyone’s perspective (before forgoing boundaries) is often all it takes for the malicious side to stop growing (heck, I have looked into it, and I noticed they are more transphobic and even faker than they accused her of being).

The other reason I am here is to ask something related to one of the points above. It seems advocacy of violence for some causes are openly discussed (whether they’re actually allowed or not) but advocacy of violence for other causes are not. In the example I gave, I mentioned that people get away with saying alarming things about the CEO’s while discussing Musk is off the table. Where the Hell do you draw the line? I see that seeming hypocrisy and I almost want to recommend ye olde forums as Elaine and Leni are familiar with because I’ve been there too and that’s where all the diehards are.
