Today I noticed a huge wall of spam from UniversalMonk from 2 different accounts and didn’t initially think much of it and blocked their communities but more spam came from different communities.

At this point I checked and saw that they had created several communities which then led me down the rabbit hole to discover that their posts had almost entirely covered the new posts page of both sh.itjust.works and lemm.ee. Later on I discovered that they’re posting right-wing propaganda and misinformation from breitbart, foxnews you name it.

He’s already caused and stirred shit 2 months ago and clearly I can see why now.

At this point it’s difficult to believe that UniversalMonk will learn proper netiquette in: not post spamming, being considerate to others, and not sharing right-wing extremist content that no one wants.

    I think you are completely correct. What was I thinking of? I was sure that UM was supportive of some politician who was rabidly pro-Israel, but I thought he said he was voting for De la Cruz. You definitely seem to be right about De la Cruz being pro-Palestinian, though.

    Edit: I did remember right, as far as UniversalMonk, but I was unfairly slandering Claudia De la Cruz for which I apologize. I randomly ran across it when reading the modlog just now. He voted, according to one of his deleted comments in the lemmy.world modlog, for the Socialist Worker’s Party, meaning Rachele Fruit.

    As the SWP candidate for U.S. Senate from Florida last fall, Rachele Fruit spoke out against the Oct. 7 Hamas pogrom in Israel and in defense of Israel as a refuge for the Jewish people at a rally at the Holocaust Memorial in Miami Beach Oct. 10.

    “The Socialist Workers Party is part of the continuity in the fight against Jew-hatred that goes back to V.I. Lenin and the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. Socialists should never support any crime against humanity in the name of revolution,” she said. “Those who call themselves ‘socialists’ and who champion Hamas and other terrorist proxies of Iran will easily find themselves allied with future fascist forces.”

    That’s important enough to go on their overall “here’s what our candidate is about” page. It’s not a specific story about the war in Gaza.

    There’s also this:

    I can’t find the part where she was very upset about the United States not doing enough to support Israel in the war, but I thought I saw something about it. Anyway, she’s on Team Israel.

      The important part about her that you seem to have missed, is that she isn’t a serious person/candidate, and not worth the time you wasted posting this.
