Editing to delete all of this. I am getting real threats again, and I am not willing to have a complete mental collapse over fucking Lemmy for a 2nd time. Fuck this place. And especially fuck all of the transpose assholes bent on making my life hell. I am deleting my accounts permanently, but will leave the content up. Don't worry, you won't need to kill or doxx me, I intend to take care of the former myself.

As far as I can tell, they are providing a valuable, wanted, service. It's unfortunate that it's impacting you negatively somehow, but I think people would prefer that they keep it up.

Is what they are doing bothering you, or did you just misunderstand the point of their behaviour, and assumed something malicious was going on?

The "service" has negative value. All it accomplishes is spam, doubling or quadrupling posts, and making every single user of a large instance out to be a tankie. There is also no shot it isn't just a script or bot being run unless they themselves spend an insane amount of time on ml making the while "boycott" thing horseshit to begin with.

And at this point, random instances are being starved of resources by the account spam (the federation takes disk space and bandwidth).

If people didn’t want it they wouldn’t upvote it. It’s that simple. You don’t get to speak for others.

I have not done this once, please provide receipts on this. I have very specifically been against the admins of .ml and select provable Tankie users of .ml

Well it isn't, for one, the activity levels on .ml just isn't that busy. For 2, I don't personally watch .ml, I just have a hook into the RSS feed and just get a notification on my phone. Takes me <15 seconds to crosspost a post. Couldn't bot it even if I wanted to, I have to be extremely selective because there's always a propaganda post of some kind.

making the while "boycott" thing horseshit to begin with.

It's very well documented and evidenced why

Hijacking this comment. If you find their service valuable, you should consider using this social media site, it is home to much more content and behavior similar to what cm0002 post and do here on Lemmy!
