Oh an also to prove to you that I am being honest and not just making stories up. Here’s a DM I sent just yesterday to admin of lemm.ee that had content from yet another fake user of my name. “Fake me” got banned after this DM, thankfully. But I don’t really spend much time doing it. Just when I come across it.
If I do a search of my username, the majority are instances that I’ve never heard of, nor been on:
Oof yeah, with folks copying you this can become a pretty complicated issue. It’s touching on some pretty fundamental design choices of Lemmy.
I can go super left and say the name “universal monk” belongs to the people and as much as ya want to control it that’s not your right. Without regulation though that would also mean names end up a power issue and that kinda sucks. Anyone with more resources taking over your name is lame. Kinda the what happened with the word “woke”.
Idk what to say at this point cause its hard to be confident my memory of you is you. If ya want to control your image you may need to rebrand and start over.
