Hello. I wasn’t sure where to post about this and a friend directed me here. This is about AskLemmy on the Lemmy.world instance’s newly appointed mod, shinigamiookamiryuu.
For clarity reasons I am going to mention they are also known as “Triagonal” and various other aliases. I’m using a fresh account because the person this post is about is known to dox the people who expose them, like they did with Morothias here
I’m also trans, so I’d prefer it if a person who tells trans people to shoot up schools (see image below) doesn’t have access to my main account.
====
There is a person who has an account on Lemmy, who has a 5 year long history of malicious trolling, doxing, catfishing, creepy comments they made to someone they knew was only 14, and telling a trans person to kill themselves after shooting up a school then gaslighting people on Lemmy about it by saying “where did I say anything about a shooter”. Their actions are such that multiple people are chronicling the various reprehensible things they’ve said and done and continue to do. They resort to doxing, impersonating, and harassing anyone who exposes them or isn’t on their side which is why a lot of people who call them out use fresh accounts for their own safety.
Here’s a screenshot of what they said to a trans person on Discord:
Their modus operandi is this:
- They’ll do/say reprehensible things.
- They will call evidence of those things “slander” or say “you’re taking it out of context” “you cannot speak for my intentions” or use plausible deniability/gaslighting.
- They paint themselves as a targeted victim, hoping people take their word for it and don’t look into the links that got posted.
They raised a big stink on Ye Power Trippin’ Bastards for their mod actions on AskLemmy.
There are a ton of links to things the troll has posted, on their own accounts, such as when they trolled on AskLemmy on Lemmy.world by saying Elon Musk’s Nazi salute “has been debunked though” and proceeded to gaslight commenters in the comments, then locking their own thread. They are highly manipulative and try to paint themselves as a victim who is being targeted for no reason by calling the evidence in the links “slander” and saying “you can’t speak for other people’s intentions”.
They like to portray themselves as an innocent person who is “being targeted for no reason” hoping that mods and admins who are unaware of their history take their word for it without looking into things. They will claim to mods/admins that they’re being doxed because their alias, which the troll publicly posts everywhere, was mentioned in posts exposing them. They do this because they want people who point out what they’re doing to be banned, not because they’re actually concerned about doxing. Please bear in mind that this user has been caught using an AI generated voice trying to pass it off as their own and they have been permabanned from Discord servers for making up excuses when asked by mods to prove they are who they say they are. They are using a fake internet persona.
Another thing this user will do is sign up on websites using the exact usernames of the people who originally exposed them on DeviantArt and then, once called out for this, will troll about being “inspired” by those usernames, omitting the fact they’ve 1. done this dozens of times 2. they only steal the usernames of the people who exposed them on DeviantArt. They’ll also list their country on the impersonation accounts as being from the country of the person they’re impersonating, among other things, like pretending to have DID on an account that’s named after a person on DeviantArt who actually has DID and then manipulate people by claiming people calling them out on this are “denying DID exists”.
They report any posts that aren’t on their side, claiming they’re being doxed because the poster used their alias, an alias they publicly use throughout the internet, and are known for faking many aspects of their persona online.
I apologize for the lengthy post, but is it appropriate for such a person to be a mod on AskLemmy, which is a popular community, given their actions both on Lemmy and off-site?
Well. I raised this exact question months ago as a hypothetical. I was trying to learn how lemmy works, and despite my arguements that this is a stupid recoarse, here is what I was told.
Upon a troll taking power as a mod of a popular community, the fediverse won’t be affected, because you can just make a NEW community, and everyone will go there!
Alright lemmy users who aren’t part of THIS thread, but I still remember from 8 months ago…this is your time to shine! Go make new communities and show us all how your ways are realistic in real world scenarios…and not just, ya know, group jerking the group about unrealistic concepts and thus not a real solution.
And again, to op and others in this thread, I want to remind you that I’m not being snarky to you. I’m being snarky to those people 8 months ago who argued this exact scenario.
They claimed the solution is to make AskLemmy2, everybody leave AskLemmy, and now the troll is a mod of a dead community. So yeah, I’m going to be snarky. I knew that was a stupid response to this situation.
So yeah. I’m full of warrented snark tonight.

I mean; It does work that way. See the 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone drama. People didn’t like what the mods wanted to do, so they started their own (onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone) and it currently has more than twice the number of active users.
So it does work when most of the people give a shit. Problem is, most people don’t.

I find that stupidity infuriating. It postulates that communities are owned by moderators and not the community and users. That is authoritarian narcissistic garbage. No one looks at or cares who the moderators are when they post anything anywhere, EVER! NEVER EVER EVER!!!
That is how these places fail to grow most people encountering this stupidity just leave. Mods serve communities just like admin. The altruism of hosting is not some neo feudal ownership of users. I’m grateful for the time and efforts spent and willing to contribute myself in the ways I can to that democracy, but anyone that acts like that means they own me can shove a whole data center and the parking lot up their root directory. Communities have momentum and belong to the users only. ANY mods that do not put users first should be purged immediately. Mods are disposable. As a mod, I am disposable. I do not matter. I am the janitor. Any mod that can not say this should be purged immediately. Anyone with any hint of narcissism is toxic to the community in every instance. Every mod and admin action is harmful and should only ever be applied to those that are causing greater harm like bigots. There should be extreme prejudice by admin at mods that are active and taking actions that were not flagged by members of the broader community. I’ll volunteer as a mod of any of the larger communities if that is what is needed. I trust users to make flags and there are very few actual actions needed here in any community.
Agreed. Hopefully the !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone migration gave us hope
This thing never stops
I reported that tool to another mod in AskLemmy, got nowhere. Same mod you mention posted an AskLemmy question, I commented, he removed my up voted comment and then deleted his down voted, nonsensical one. I asked why and he was super weird. I’ve had maybe 1 comment removed by a mod in 15 years of reddit and 1 of Lemmy.
It’s a bad look for Lemmy, get rid of the dumbass.
So this is today’s Lemmy drama?
It’s been going on for a while
So, one day old OP, is ‘your friend’ your other account that just posted the same exact thing the other day?
Seems odd to accuse someone of creating alts
I explained that in my OP. I’m using a fresh account because the person this post is about is known to dox the people who expose them, like they did with Morothias here
I’m also trans, so I’d prefer it if a person who tells trans people to shoot up schools doesn’t have access to my main account.
I wasn’t sure where to post about this and a friend directed me here.
is not explaining your creating alts. I couldn’t care less if you were a dining room table, much less trans. Access to your main account, what? That doesn’t have anything to do with what I said.
Are you stupid? Creating alts isn’t the complaint here.
That is one of the complaints, yes.
I just thought it was funny.
I posted that other thread, yes, but I lost my password for that account so I made this one. My friend on Discord who has been on Lemmy longer than me told me to post this in this community. Apologies for any miscommunication.
What. That account was banned. You didn’t lose your password. What are you talking about.
There’s far too many layers of drama-drama for me to care any more than the comments I’ve made. Enjoy your evening.
I was just clearing up misinformation. Thanks, have a great one too.
Thank you for not continuing to shit up the thread because you can’t read.
