This is the person who has been constantly stalking & harrasssing us & then plagiarised my posts. This is the person who I reported time & again to the “moderators” of #Mastodon. This person is the reason I left social media & will not promote #naturism on #Mastodon. Trolls like this thrive on cowardice. They lurk behind screens, spitting bile they would never dare utter face to face. Their days revolve around harassment, petty cruelty, & obsessive watching of strangers. (1/2)
Nothing of value grows from their effort. No insight, no creativity, no courage. Only a hollow routine of bitterness, clicking, refreshing, & trying to drag others down to the same small, miserable level they inhabit. Pathetic, tedious parasites of attention. (2/2)

@SydneyJim Mastodon.social moderation may suck because they have a very large userbase. Please consider blocking them and/or switching to another Mastodon instance.

@lessmore I blocked this person continuously for four months. Each day they just refollowed with another account. Mastodon has proven to be useless in weeding out trolls & protecting users against harassment. I already have another account on another instance of Mastodon, the thing is the very same person attacked me on that account also. So, Mastodon is useless in protecting its users. I will leave these accounts on Mastodon, & continue to read posts, but I will no longer be posting.

@SydneyJim Yeah, that's unfortunate. Mastodon can come to be difficult in this way due to its decentralised nature. I'm sorry to hear that. A solution could be self-hosting your own Mastodon server, but that could be difficult if you don't know how to self-host stuff, so I understand your decision on quitting. :(

I hope you do great on your naturist journey! Good luck! ✌️

@SydneyJim Hi Jim. That is an absolute shame. I look forwardf to your posts and philosphies about naturism every day and I will miss your posts tremendously. Take care, both you and your wife, as well as the naturist scene, and scenery, of Sydney. Take care and stay bare. Don't give up caring!
@SlimNudist Cheers mate. Everything posted on Mastodon from this point forward was scheduled months ago in advance. When that stops, well there’ll probably be no more. We traced all of our problems back to that one person & a bridge to Bluesky. Never should have linked to Bluesky. All the best!
@SydneyJim Thanks for the good news, Jim. All the best to you, too!
@SydneyJim Understand your decision, is a shame that you leave and the real offender stays. But if you don't feel ok for this situation is important to stop and rethink what to do, to feel better. Does Mastodon have private profiles? I mean a way for you to approve your followers? I know he mutates when discovered but that would keep him away for a while. (really hate that people need to change themselves because a troll)

@jonasolivier @SydneyJim But he also mentions that's being affected by images being used without his consent and plagiarism, and unfortunately there's nothing to do since you're posting stuff publicly and nowadays if you don't wanna suffer from plagiarism you have to stop making content altogether.

It's even worse how content it's also being used for AI as well, so you have to go along with this in the modern Internet we live in. If it's not humans who are stealing your stuff, now are robots.

@lessmore @SydneyJim Maybe there's a way act legally, i don't know how it works, if even possible.
