    They’d probably just use a proxy/vpn to bypass it. Also iirc you can unplug your router and reconnect for a new IP.

    What a pathetic person. Dunno who he thinks he is, on his little toy horse staring down on us all - but definitely salty as fuck lmao.

      I feel sorry for him, honestly. I love a good troll as much as anybody, but he wastes so much of his time. He spends all this time typing up shit, making new accounts, using new ips, switching lemmy’s, etc, meanwhile it just takes two clicks to undo all of that progress.

      It literally takes a second.

          Yeah, it’s really sad. Like only Arx is going to see those comments.

          I personally don’t mind though, more unique accounts visiting this community means number goes higher. He’s legitimately being helpful lol

            Yeah, and I don’t mind the messages either. It’s honestly hilarious (and sad) that someone would make 4 accounts to yell at me for something I said days ago. It really shows how pathetic, petty, and worthless this person truly is, and I’m perfectly content to point and laugh whenever I see it.

              If he’s willing to stick to just one account and not make any more, then I’m okay with him engaging so long as he follows the rules. Of course, he’ll have to promise that.

      I regularly call out and report them whenever I see them, and it’s honestly really funny how bent out of shape it makes them. They genuinely seem to believe yelling at strangers on a tiny social media platform is somehow beneficial to Palestinians, instead of doing anything more productive with their time like actually going out and protesting or donating to their causes.

      With IPv6 you can basically have infinite IPs (via SLAAC and the privacy extensions)

      IP banning is very ineffective

      i recommend just insta-blocking whenever you see an alt. Don’t even give any recognition.

        Nah i’m an admin, i just tell other admins, then ban + remove-content on my instance :p Good advice in general, though.
