Ayo I’m in the screenshot letsa fucking GOOOOOOOOOO-
For context, Bungiefan_ak has no fewer than 4 alts that I’ve seen (all on different instances with the same username) and has spent his time on !memes@lemmy.ml continuously spamming heavily transphobic, homophobic, and objectifying sexist “memes”. Just about every one of his alts is now banned but I’m sure more will pop up.
Now, why the fuck he cares so much about pirates at this point, I haven’t a clue…
- /u/Bungiefan_ak@lemmy.world (modlog, banned)
- /u/Bungiefan_ak@lemdro.id (modlog)
- /u/Bungiefan_ak@lemmy.ca (modlog, banned)
- /u/Bungiefan_ak@reddthat.com (modlog, banned)
- /u/Bungiefan_ak@startrek.website (modlog, banned)

- /u/Bungiefan_ak@sh.itjust.works (modlog, banned)
- /u/Bungiefan_ak@literature.cafe (modlog, was denied entry by chad admin @gabe@literature.cafe lmao)
There’s likely going to be more
Doing the lord’s work. What a shitfest of a modlog, real winner this guy is
Edit: dear God he keeps MAKING MORE. This dude seriously needs to get a life or something
Yeah we banned them on reddthat 2 days ago. I’m glad to see I’m not an outlier. Initially we should a 7 day ban should suffice. But then that user decided to message the admin directly and insult them.
Probably the fastest way to get your account banned.
Edit: The message in question. 👀 (Attempted spoiler open if you dare)
! !<
Maybe he just likes to argue with people. I have 1 such classmate. His “opinions” are always just opposite to who he’s talking with. But apparently outside of school he’s normal.
It’s easy to be a contrarian when opinions are not something you actually hold, but simply hats to be swapped out or discarded as necessary.
Kid’s probably on the debate team, they live to argue. Good luck figuring out their real opinions though, they might not even have any.
I love arguing with people, I’ll even argue points I don’t necessarily believe, but that’s not the same as trolling. The difference is doing it in good faith
Trolls aren’t trying to convince anyone or engage in debate, they’re in it to russle jimmies, own the libs, or whatever. There’s not really an intellectual aspect to it, it’s arguing on emotion
Probably because one of his alts was on dbzer0 and was banned for transphobia
Out of curiosity, just someone not supporting trans people or lgbtq are getting banned or they are taking asshole behaviour and spewing hate speech?
Edit: good fucking world. I am not against lgbtq. I am supporting it. I am a bi curious guy. I am all in for their civil rights. I was asking a question about why that guy was banned. For asshole behaviour or just having a different opinion. I don’t believe just for telling someone doesn’t care about lgbtq is not a reason for ban.
is “not supporting someone” your newspeak for being asshole? because i am pretty sure that any group of people doesn’t give a flying fuck about you or anyone else not “supporting them”, just let them be and they will be happy.
If not supporting means you feel that we don’t deserve civil rights then yeah they should be banned
Well, there’s a pretty wide spectrum in “not supporting”. Can range between “cool bro, not my thing but you do you just leave me out of it”, which is a rational albeit reserved response… or you could be like Bungiefan, who spams memes calling transgender people pedophiles (multiple times).
That would explain why he’s such a snob about piracy on his Reddit subs. For context on Reddit this person (pretty sure they’re the same person) banned me from a sub he moderates (I believe it was r/3dshacks) and he tried to get me banned from r/EmulationOnAndroid and also weirdly enough r/teenagers he failed at getting me banned from them by the way because those subs aren’t anti-piracy bungie stans like he is, simply put they don’t care.
But yeah he was a real loser, I think he got removed from most of the subs he moderated by Reddit though, and the participation in the protest has all but killed the remaining Sub. From Allmighty powermod to a pathetic whiny troll (though I guess he still was a whiny troll before, he just seemed more respectable from the outside).
From r/3dshacks I could understand, but from r/EmulationOnAndroid??? they be pirating emulators on that sub, they do not care lmao
The troll doesn’t care, at all. It got banned clearly or it would be trolling here directly, it’s retaliation. Child psychology will tell you everything you’d need to know about that “user”.
Maybe we shouldn’t feed that troll ?
I think in that case a shadowban would be the best way to do it. Or an IP ban if that’s possible.
In any case this is giving him even more reason to keep on harassing people for attention.
These are the alts, counts, scores, and ban status my instance is aware of:
name | domain | banned | posts | comments | post_score | comment_score

Well that’s a record, not a single positive score in sight from any of the accounts
For context, Bungiefan_ak has no fewer than 4 alts that I’ve seen (all on different instances with the same username)
Spending that much money and time stanning for fucking Bungie of all decaying and bloated and corrupt treat companies is really something.
and has spent his time on !memes@lemmy.ml continuously spamming heavily transphobic, homophobic, and objectifying sexist “memes”.
OF FUCKING COURSE.
For context, Bungiefan_ak has no fewer than 4 alts that I’ve seen (all on different instances with the same username)
I mean, this is one of the benefits of the lemmyverse - using the same username across different instances. It’s not subversive.
That’s not to lend a defence of this guy - just didn’t want having Lemmy alts presented as a bad thing.
Having Lemmy alts is not a bad thing. Using them to circumvent bans very much is, tho.
that guy is the most succesfull troll in history. he single-handedly created havoc that big that russian trollfarm wouldn’t have to be ashamed for and you continue to give him audience. just ban him and move on.
Hexbear is one of the oldest lemmy instances, but only recently started federating.
Are you suggesting that for the last 3+ years, someone was running a troll farm where the trolls could only talk to each other?
I reported that mother fucker. Scum like him are easy to spot and clean up.
How do you people find these alts. I scroll by, like or don’t, but I have no idea if they are related.
Do you guys have a 7th sense or something?
He’s using the same username on different instances, not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Corporations when some dude steals a copy of a 30 year old movie: 😡
Corporations when they steal billions from their workers salaries every year: 🤑
Taking money for a 30-year-old movie is pretty much government-assisted stealing, if I’m honest. Copyright in the USA originally had a term of 14 years.
Here’s the thing: copyright term includes the life of the author plus a fixed period. So the works you and I nobodies produce will eventually become public domain after we die. HOWEVER, and this is just my underatanding of the laws and I’m definitely not a lawyer, not big name IPs because they are not registered under the human author, but a corporation that is both a person under the law and effectively immortal. So even if it’s two thousand years after George Lucas dies, Star Wars will still be copyrighted as long as Disney exists, and even if Disney dies, part of the process of corporate “death” is liquidation where they sell their IPs to the next asshole corporation.
Am I wrong? Please correct me if I am.
Afaik you are not correct. Copyrights for a corporation also have an expiration date.
Except – The expiration date can be extended by just continuing to use the IP – Ever wondered why movies get remakes/reimaginings every 30 years or so? We meme about them being “Out of ideas”, but really it’s so they can hold down their copyright.
You’re wrong, which is why Disney keep lobbying to get the length of IP ownership extended - they don’t want all their IPs becoming public property.
IIRC corporate copyrights expire something like 95-100 years after creation. Copyright of works created by an individual is 70 years post death.

See, this is the stuff I was talking about in my other comment. Too many arguments in favor of piracy are these little one off, no context one-liners that sound snappy/true, but lack nuance.
It’s not that you don’t have a point, but you need to actually tease this out a little more, and also addressed the fact that most people who are pirating are not doing it for that reason. There is always unwillingness by piracy advocates to acknowledge that some people do it just because they want free shit. It’s not a moral stance, it’s not a social movement, it’s not a financial necessity, they just don’t want to pay for it. 
I definitely don’t ever pirate. I would never use transmission or the pirate bay to acquire what I want. But if I did, which, of course I don’t, I would admit it’s because of a combination of 1) convenience, 2) the ability to deploy where I want it, more specifically 3) so I can put it on my server to stream on my network, and 4) because of fears of the programming being taken down, such as streaming services.
I would also be lying if I said I wouldn’t do it because I don’t want to spend money on it. That’s just me being honest.
My point being that whatever your reasoning, I just don’t like when people throw out bullshit excuses or examples that only apply to .001% of people engaging in piracy.
I agree about snippy one liners but I’m also not invested in this topic enough to go deeply into it. Maybe not until someone engages. I just browse lemmy, I share thoughts. I’m just here to hang out. If I want to learn then I read a book. I try not to take this site or myself on this site too seriously. I also like how you responded in somewhat long form. I like that a lot, and I’m hoping one day I can join tildes.net and participate in longer conversations.
That said, I don’t think it’s a bullshit response and I don’t think I need to elaborate on how subsidies work or how deregulation has siphoned money from the public and given it to private companies. For me, it doesn’t matter why an individual chooses to pirate or how they justify it. I see it as a form of protest and anyone participating in the protest for any reason is doing it for the right reason.
I think it’s interesting that people jump to the defence of copyright, or question the morality of piracy on the grounds of what damage it might cause to creators and publishers. Tax laws - old (austerity taxes), new (lowered corporate taxes), and proposed (100% inheritance tax) are much more significant than any effect piracy will ever have. This is what we should be debating and arguing about, not with piracy. It’s peanuts.
There is always unwillingness by piracy advocates to acknowledge that some people do it just because they want free shit.
Some people do it just because they want free shit. I don’t care. It’s still good.
Does anybody have the greentext that goes something like
Pirate game
Company loses $60 because it’s theft
Company regains $60 after deleting game from hard drive
Pirate one million copies, company bankrupt from massive theft
Buy insolvent company for cheap
Delete all game copies, company profitable again
Embedded version:
I am human, and this action was performed automatically.
Maybe one of the tightest written indictments of IP law. Companies “losing” money when no money changes hands makes me laugh.
Companies that employ millions of people whose livelihood depends on them. People you are hurting by affecting the company business
Nope, their pay isnt effected by company “loses” (note: piracy doesnt cost a company) because the money goes to their shareholders first. A company making more profit doesnt translate to more wages. Maybe defend workers in any meaningful way like unions and banning stock buybacks.
yall, this dude tried signing up to my instance a few nights ago. yall wanna see why many communities have registration approvals? see below. warning for nsfw language
NSFW language
Unfortunately, the deny reason(s) aren’t sent to the applicant and aren’t visible to anyone except admins.
Still laughing at the vast amount of people coming from reddit and expecting only chill people to be on lemmy. Like lemmy users are somehow immune to toxicity.
It’s less toxic overall but we (or mostly the moderators) will have to fight them all the time.
At least it will improve the moderation tools which is always a good thing.
When I realized it was that dude who tried signing up to my instance I lost my shit laughing, if he was screened prior it’s obvious he wouldn’t have gotten in. This is precisely what happens when you focus on growth over organically cultivating a healthy community.
Lemmy is like every social medium since the dawn of time: a cross-section of humanity… the good, the bad, and the ugly.
That is legitimately one of the most disgusting things I’ve read, what is wrong with this person, why would he write that as an application.
It came after I was arguing with weirdo antisemites in c/atheistmemes so I assume it was because of that but I have no idea and don’t really care to know that much
