the acccount name is fuckyou<myusername> and is downvote stalking me , account : https://kbin.social/u/Fuckyouzima
Based on the first 3-4 pages of your profile, it actually looks like you’ve had a couple of different accounts downvoting everything for a week or so at a time. If it’s all the same person, then banning one account isn’t going to fix your problem, they’ll just make a new one and continue. Why not just make a new account for yourself?
Also, this isn’t Reddit. Don’t upvote your own comments.
unrelated but i proudly upvote my own stuff 70% of the time cause i like the illusion of engagement on kbin lol. i dont think anything is wrong with it
The issue is the alt account that was created to harrass me. I know there are legitimate accounts downvote stalking me and I don’t have a problem with that. I actually see it as a good thing since you can see what those other accounts are actually saying so it shows they are hypocrites and/or acting in bad faith.
Maybe your opinions just suck?
You did say colonialism was good for Africa, like an asshole.
So seven minutes after Zima posted about a mystery stalker dogging his every comment, you jumped in on the thread with a complaint about something he posted two weeks ago, which when you subsequently linked to it was clearly not saying what you’re accusing him of saying and makes you sound like some sort of vindictive crazy person?
What a coincidence!
Let’s see if a Fuckyoufacedeer account appears now.
Edit: Oh, another amazing coincidence: nine minutes after Fuckyouzima downvoted Zima’s two-week-old comment, you also downvoted his two-week-old comment. And then two minutes later you made your first comment in this thread. We can see who downvotes what and when, you know.
Are you good? A guy complained about brigading downvotes, I checked if maybe the person complaining was just an asshole (as sometimes it turns out when people complain folks are out to get them). They were.
I have never heard of Zima before this post, and I have better things to do than brigade vote people on fake accounts.
I never complained about you voting down my every comment. that’s fine if you do that i’ll do the same to you.
I complained about the alt account with \username. but I guess facts are irrelevant to trolls like you.I never downvoted your every comment, I don’t even know who you are beyond the guy who downvoting my giving condolences to someone mourning their dead father, so thanks for that.
let me make it simpler for you. you mischaracterized the creation of an alt account to stalk somoene as “A guy complained about brigading downvotes” you should slow down and reconsider the facts.
I just wondered if maybe people had a legitimate reason to hate you and then learned you were a colonialism apologist.
I don’t condone “FuckZima”

…but I understand.for the fifth time. people that want to be willfully ignorant of history and feel entitled to reparations might be angry at me and others that might have arguments against it but that doesnt mean they should be allowed to creat alt accounts dedicated to harrass me.
Er… Are you suggesting that it’s okay to harass someone you disagree with? That’s pretty toxic, my guy.
Would you mind showing me where I said that?
I think you’ll see I explicitly didn’t condone the behavior OP accused “FuckZima” of and then proceeded to engage in themself.
By dismissing OPs concerns about harassment and suggesting OP is at fault because their opinions “suck”, you are suggesting that OP is at fault for having the wrong opinions, and thus deserving any harassment they receive.
Don’t you have a pirate ghost you can be worshiping right now?
I never said that. but thanks for letting us know your true feelings. I’m pretty sure the stalker was offended for the same reason as you are, I’m pretty sure of his real account as well but it’s irrelevant. what’s rellevantt is that the fact that I don’t think socialism is the best system ever doesn’t mean you guys can create alt accoutns just to harrras me.
I never said that.
Really, this isn’t you saying it’s African’s fault Europeans enslaved them?
Bro they literally sold each other to Europeans so he isn’t wrong…
Shure its not good that they where bought, but man… Its past, Europe doesn’t do that anymore (Noone alive is responsible for it) and Africans still sell each other to each other, slavery is very much alive there still.
(this is in no way pro slavery)
You seem to be side-stepping the whole “Europeans bought and bred humans” part.
No I’m not, that has just absolutely nothing to do with the fact that they where sold by Africans. I said that this is a different part of the story and definitely not good either.
I think the fact Europeans enslaved people have very much to do with the OP’s claim that replacing direct enslavement with debt peonage at a later date more than made up for not only the original enslavement but later colonialism.
Blaming an oppressed group for their own oppression is not a good look.
You keep trying to put shit into a comment that was never in it. Thats called framing and false facts.
Oh and paying African countries mostly funds terrorism and war lords, so not paying is more helpful.
You keep trying to inverse/distort my claims. What is this fabrication about debt peonage? How does it relate to my actual statement?
Why don’t you quote what I said instead of your inversed/distorted version of it?
@Zima @FfaerieOxide regardless what you said or didn’t say, this is the fediverse. mute/block them and move on, it’s really all you can do.
if you’re accountable to what you say then what do you care if others try to distort it? the truth is out there.
yes. as long as it’s legimitate users. the moment they start creating fuckyou\ alt accounts just to harras I think they should be banned.
@Zima @FfaerieOxide also, exactly who would ban them on the fediverse
i don’t think you understand how silly you are.
kbin admins/global mods. that’s what I’m trying to find out from this post.
@Zima @FfaerieOxide what exactly is your definition of a legitimate user
Is there a point to your question?
What are you trying to say then?
edit3: I should have started by pointing out that you could have read my comment in the first place if you really wanted to know what I wanted to say, it’s unambiguous so there really should be no confusssion and it’s clear i never referenced colllonialism or any of the other bullshit claims made here. given that you are voting down some of my other comments after this interaction shows your true intentions, even if you avoid voting down this one. it seems that some people still don’t understand that all this info is public on the fediverse.
well It’s not the real issue at point but if you want me to ellaborate. there is some really weird thing that happened during the enlightehment period where a lot of people in europe argued that slavery was not right, supposedly according to historians (and I’m still not buying this part as it seems too self serving) it was because it wasn’t aligned with christian values. I’ll spend some time looking into william rutheford when I have time to seee if there is any factual evidence behind this claim. anyways the point is that europeans spend massive amount of resources and their own lives ending the slave trade in africa by forcing africans to stop enslaving other africans. that’s what I was talking about. I never said europeans enslaved or didn’t slave anyone.
the context was a submission about reparations. i am not extremely knowledgable about history but my argument was that many europeans died ending the slave trade, be it against pirates, slave traders or diseases in africa, and they were not doing it for profit so anyone asking for reparations is denying all that sacrifice.
edit: since some people are claiming i’m an asshole as if that somehow justified the stalking i feel I shoudl clarify. the weird part is that those people were willing to pay a prize for their beliefes and embark on ships on expeditions where they literraly had no expectation of profit and were risking their lives. I’m not saying that’s wrong . i’ts so incredibly admirable that I personally have a difficult time believing it. to put this in better context for current times in my views this is as if many people suddenly decided to give up their cozy lives in america and decided to go to third world countries to help them. it happens but it’s nowhere near the volume of volunteers needed to uplift all people from poverty.
edit2: trolls might think that they “got me” by making me spend the time producing a real answer but in reality it just shows that oxide was lying and this people are either pro-slavery or just harrasing.
I’m gonna ignore the arguing in this thread and focus on the main question, which imo the answer is to just ignore it. If the guy wants to waste his time downvoting you then let him waste his time. Those points are meaningless and have no effect on anything. So the worst you can do is waste your own time on him. Just block them and their accounts and go on with your life.
There needs to be a dedicated place to report this stuff, cause posting a thread about it publicly isn’t helpful
