I replied to another comment as well under my main account of @UniversalMonk@lemmy.dbzer0.com, but I wanted to follow up to this reply as well you are so generous and well-spoken.

Plus, I’ve added a new word to my vocabulary: simulacrum

So thank you for that!

My full post history is here: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/UniversalMonk?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts

So you can judge for yourself. You may still block me, and I’m ok with that, because at least you’ll be choosing to do it based on facts and not what other people say about me or how they try to troll people.

You’re good in my book, friend!

I imagine them as the three straight white dudes of this experience

OP’s post had nothing to do with me or any of my communities. I’m not straight, but nice try and bringing my sexuality into this. Are you a bigot? Because that seems a really strange thing to bring up. Hmmm, I’m suspicious of your motives here. Def sounds like bigotry to me. Why are you trying to bring my sexuality into this? Care to explain yourself?

People like you who keep randomly mentioning my name all the time def help me feeling famous though. Which is awesome! I love how much you all think of me, even tho you all blocked me. Please keep that up. I love the free rent in your head.

Thanks, friend! :)

Fortunately he doesn’t seem to spread as virulently as Monk does.

OP’s post had nothing to do with me or any of my communities. And exactly how do I spread “virulently”?

I mostly post in my own socialist communities. If you don’t like socialism, cool. Glad you have blocked my communities, but it’s silly to say I spread “virulently.”

Unless of course you mean people like you who keep randomly mentioning my name all the time and keeping me feeling famous. Which is awesome. So yes, keep doing that. I like the attention that you all give me. :)

So you don’t think it’s a big deal that you created a fake account, using my username, which resulted in created a false narrative of what I post and believe?

You helped give the false impression that I’m a republican capitalist. (I’m actually a socialist.)

And again, I’m more interested in WHY you did it. What were you thinking? Were you hoping I would get banned? Were you hoping I would leave Lemmy? And why were you so mad at me in the first place that you would do that? I never had any negative interactions with you before this.

No, YOU created that trolling profile on YOUR instance. You admitted it. You said, "A while back I made a spoof account called Universal Crunk. It used his same avatar but photoshopped to be flashing cash in front of the Raytheon HQ, wearing Ray-Bans and a Yankees hat, and smoking crack; the profile bio was the standard one he uses but his the language was changed to be praise of crypto, defense contractors, and hedge funds. I made one comment and within about 2 minutes it was nuked.” https://sopuli.xyz/comment/22177256

And I spoke to your admins about it. You didn’t call it Universal Crunk. You called it Universal Monk. I found the profile. You even went so far as to falsely claim it was the Real Universal Monk. There is no profile for anything/anyone called Universal Crunk. You straight up used my username to troll the fediverse.

My question is, why? Why did you feel the need to create that account? Creating mock accounts to impersonate people on the fediverse is bad faith. And a lot of people did that to me, which created a false narrative. You were part of that false narrative.

Many of the things they say I did, were actually done by false accounts like yours.

So I’d like to know why you made a troll account about me? Why were you so pissed that I voted third party in the election, that you created a fake account to troll me?

I know ya said you made trolled me using Universal Crunk, but you also did this, UniversalMonk
@sopuli.xyz

Care to explain?

How was I rude?

Well, my gf won’t let me kiss you or have “pax” with you.

But we can for sure be friends. I have no ill will towards you, friend.

It’s just that the rhetoric you were promoting about me was false, and when fake/troll/mock accounts are made to impersonate me, it’s not great for communication. Lemmy needs to grow and in order to do that, it needs to be more welcoming and less angry.

We may not agree on lots of things, but maybe we can agree to stay out of each other’s way. Thank you for replying and I wish ya well, friend.

So far, @pimento64@sopuli.xyz, refuses to discuss and just resorted to name-calling.

Dude, you say extreme shit on Lemmy just to get a reaction. You got a reaction. Accept it. YDI

Thanks, mate! I can’t take credit for production, my kiddo is in charge and plays the uke and bass. We record in living room w his mic, then he mixes everything on mac laptop and his desktop for the bigger stuff. When we go into a real studio for the real stuff, Suncrest Studios are the production engineers in my city that we go to. But these little things I’m posting here aren’t justified for the pro studio time/costs tho.

If you are referring to me, it’s not expensively-produced. It’s on my mac. And I have toured in my little area, but not with these songs.

Nah. I’m old (as in I coulda banged your grandma when she was still considered hot old). I’ve been writing and making music since before you were born.

On Lemmy, people seem to think that everything sounds and looks like ai slop lately. lolol Is this how lemmy is gonna do now? EVERYTHING is ai slop?!

I’ve seen photos, news articles, songs, music, posts, everything… and people just say “ai slop!” for all of it now.

But you can totally say it sucks and sound sucks since it’s me and a mac. Cuz it is pretty sucky. I don’t care tho! Between my name/rep and my shit skills, I expect no love. You shoulda heard it before I just did it with uke. The cringe was much stronger! lol

So all good, friend! Nothing phases me. And I’ll keep posting. Thanks! :)

And it sucks that today’s young workers don’t realize the strength of unions.

Well, well, well. Looks like the Dems gave in to the Repubs. Again.

So ya’ll ready for a third party yet? Or ya just gonna keep trying to silence third party supporters on Lemmy?

I’ve been saying it for over a year now, have never ever changed my tune: Fuck the Duopoly, vote third party. If enough do, then third party becomes viable. Check my post histories on all the instances I have my name on, including .world (who banned me for voting 3rd party).

But nooooo, you all tried to ban me, tried to slience me, tried to bully me. Didn’t work. I voted third party (Socialist) in the presidential election of 2024, voted third party in most recent 2025 elections. Proud then. Proud now. Laughed then. Laughing now. Suckers! :)

What is going on with you and this post?! Like wtf!? lol

Yep. I have guns, mostly for home defense. Nothing I’ve really had to think about too much tho. Go to the range every 6 months or so just to kinda keep up.

I’ve recently decided to take them more seriously. Stocked up on ammo. I’m gonna go to the range monthly now.

I don’t have any idea on what will happen with the US. But something is gonna happen. Things’ll probably get worse before they get better.

And I’m gonna be prepared. I live in a gun-friendly state, so it’s easier. I’m definitely taking full advantage of my rights while we have them.

YDI. :)

Exactly! And it’s beautiful!

• the best I arrived at was actually !politics_no_um@lemmy.world.

Named after me, by the way! I’m so famous. lol
