Biden's final humiliation: Most Americans can't name one success and will remember him for doing 'nothing'
It is the one question that unites Americans when it comes to President Joe Biden. What is your one-word summary of his legacy?

Why do you keep recreating accounts with the same username?
I didn't even notice, I thought it was just one person who was really upset that an ex-president exists
I didn't even notice, I thought it was just one person who was really upset that an ex-president exists
I'm not upset that an ex-president exists or upset that anyone exists.
That's really odd thing for you to say. Are you doing ok?
I'm glad you're here, friend. Thanks!
You keep posting these "biden bad because I repeat myself a lot" articles. Which suggest to me this may be an emotional thing, especially give the emotional titles.
Or you're a troll :/ or something
I don't actually write the titles though. I just use the titles of the article as it is posted on their website. So not emotional at all to me.
Which makes me the opposite of a troll since I'm transparent.
If you have a problem with the titles and/or the articles, please don't hesitate to write to the authors/publishers/news orgs that created the articles.
Dude, it's just a news article posted to Lemmy. Calm down. It ain't that serious. lol
Thanks, amiko!
You got the chance to google the same article anywhere, to post a reasonable rewrite, to post clarification, to not post...
...but you're motivated otherwise
I just use the site I am currently reading. It's not up to me to make sure you like the source of the article. If you don't like the source, then feel free to not read the article.
And what do you think my "motivation" is?
I don't know, you don't appear lazy. Assuming you don't have ill intentions, I'd have to guess a lack of competence?
So because I post stuff you don't like, that's a lack of competence?
You probably aren’t familiar with my saga, but here’s a quick rundown. Before the election, I refused to support either Biden/Harris or Trump. I advocated for third-party candidates. It seems silly now, but just a couple of months ago, that was a HUGE no-no on Lemmy.
People started calling me a bot, a nazi, a nazi-progammed bot(!), a Russian troll. Some even created elaborate stories about me living in Russia and getting paid in rubles to post on Lemmy. It was crazy. LMAO
After hundreds of complaints about me and being mad that I was still around, one guy even wrote a program to track me and offered it to other people to track me on Lemmy (Hi @pooperNickel@lemm.ee https://lemm.ee/u/pooperNickel). He was, and still is, really really mad about me not voting for Harris.
Eventually, they banned me from the .world instance, and then made a post celebrating my "demise." On top of that, people took over the communities I founded and deleted all my posts. With great glee! lol
Later when asked about why I was banned, admins accused me of "harassing" DM's but, mysteriously when I ask for proof of these, the people in charge just say "It's private--we can't show you."
I say just show those to all of Lemmy and hide the identity of the receiver, and at least show us what I said that was so bad or what they consider "harassing".
The real reason they don't show proof? There is none. Because I never sent harrassing emails. LMAO
But the beauty of the fediverse is its freedom. I moved to other instances, ones less censor-heavy, but many followed me there too, trying to get me banned again.
To avoid losing all my communities at once, I diversified and spread my name across multiple instances, so they can’t silence me with one action.
I know this sounds exaggerated, but it’s not. Just last week, a new thread was started to ban me again. Here are the links to the main threads:
https://sh.itjust.works/post/31017252
https://sh.itjust.works/post/26969318
Luckily the admins took my side, saw the witchhunter-ry aspect of continually tracking me instead of just blocking me, and stood up for me.
But since I have such a passionate "Hate and Destroy Monk" following, I have to keep things spread out.
Actually, I'm a very boring guy born and raised here in the US. I've never even been out of the country. Was a teacher assistant in a middle school until I retired last month. :)
So thank the .world community for inspiring me to be EVERYWHERE now. They should have just ignored me. lol
Pics in case my links don't work. Just do a search for the titles in your search bar and it will bring them up to:
That's a whole lot of words to say "everyone hated me on several Lemmy instances so I got banned on each after simping for trump for months, so I changed my trolling strategy, mainly so I can remain here, in my mom's basement, doing loser shit like taunting people because I can evade bans"
Um, 3 instances. All of them, pre-election. One of them before I posted anything.
I wear those bans with pride and own up to them every chance I get! :)
Sounds like you’re still upset that you couldn’t get rid of me. LMAO.
What’s really delicious is that YOU created me. Yeah, you! If you hadn’t been so obsessed with silencing me and bragging about writing a program to ban me, I never would have realized I must be saying something important.
So, because of you, I decided I’ll never vote Democrat, I’ll spread my name across multiple instances to avoid getting canceled by a mob, and I’ll keep posting—wherever and whatever I want.
Isn’t that great? You made this happen by trying to get rid of me. Pretty awesome, right?
Thanks, friend!
Keep crying about your bans and tagging me so I can continue ignoring the novels you write.
Nah, I'm not crying about them. I'm laughing about them.
I'm also laughing about the fact that I'm still here.
I can post anything I want. Anywhere I want. You didn't stop me. :)
Thanks, friend! :)
Laughing, sure. That's why you're tagging me
We wouldn't want Lemmy to forget what you do when you're mad someone doesn't vote the way you want them to. Right? :)
Remember when you thought that you could bully me away? Didn't work, friend. I'm still here.
Not very "democratic" of you:
Literally no one cares
Some people do and are banning you:
Then you shouldn't either. Right?
Thanks, friend!
Fuck you. Quit playing victim you sack of shit.
WTF is going on? What's up with UniversalMonk? I've never heard of him before, or any of this drama.
Okay, I read some of those links he linked and as I understand it this is what's happening: UniversalMonk is creating alts on different instances to evade bans. He then complains that he wasn't notified about his bans, as justification for his ban evasion.
The problem here is that the ban was never about banning his account, the point of a ban is to make someone go away, and either 1) after he was banned he tried to post on his account, failed, and so made a new account on a different instance then posted from the new account (i.e. normal ban evasion), or 2) he was posting from several different accounts and simply switched to a different account to post without even noticing his other account was banned - in which case, yeah, if he's doing the behavior simultaneously across multiple accounts, all that's left to do is ban all of his accounts.
Actually, ban evading is creating an alt account to purposely continue post into banned forums or on banned instances.
I haven't ban evaded. In fact, I'm using my same username on other instances. That would make it even more difficult to ban evade, since people would see my same name. lol
Also, this is actually my own community that I created and mod.
So me posting to my own communities, regardless of what instance I'm on is NOT considered a ban evade either, because I'm not banned from this community or this instance under any name or instance.
And yes I saw your recent report on me--the one were you called me a "shithead." You reported my post that I posted to my own community, friend. You also falsely accused me of ban-evading--again in my own community.
And you called me names in your report, tho I have never called you any names.
You seem frustrated with me. That's your right. I have no problems with that and I have no problems with you.
So the best advice I can give you is to block my name and/or community wherever you see it. That way you won't have to see my posts.
Thanks, friend!

I addressed this in my comment. You're making up a magic bullshit definition of ban evasion that ignores the intent of the action. Incidentally, this is why I said you seemed like a shithead and 'the moderator' should check you out (IIRC). I expect the reason they didn't ban all users named "Universal Monk" on all instances is some combination of not expecting you failing to understand the purpose of a ban, not wanting to trigger abusable false positives (e.g. if I created a "Universal Monk" account on several separate instances and then spammed CP to get all of your Universal Monk accounts banned, that would be me abusing such a system to inflict a false-positive against you), and not having the tools to do so.
I wasn't "calling you names", I was explaining my personal conclusion after having read your comments and the context. The difference is that calling names is intended to hurt, whereas what I wrote was a frank statement of my conclusion. And I stand by it. I don't remember my exact words (although I'm 99% sure I wrote "seems like a shithead", which is different to calling you a shithead - the former is an observation of how you come across, the latter is a conclusive judgement on your personality) so if you could quote the entire report then I'd be happy to address any specific problems ("calling me names" is broad and vague), but honestly I don't lie to moderators in reports so this is very-much a You problem.
And to reiterate: you are practicing ban evasion. Not on this instance, but on other instances. The fact that you don't (claim to) understand that, is even more damning - it means you don't recognize you're breaking the rules, and therefore will do it again in future.
The fact that someone is ban evading in other communities (and seem to be willfully missing the point of a ban) is a good enough reason to report anyone to a moderator so that they can keep an eye on them or possibly just pre-emptively ban them outright, depending on their moderating philosophy - the point of bans is to curate the community and that means rejecting both bad-faith arguers and rules-lawyers who make the community worse (and to be clear, I don't know which one of those you are but I don't care because both suck). See Well-kept gardens die by pacifism.
And, as I mentioned in my comment above, I've never heard of you before so please kindly do some introspection here - on why a random stranger would conclude "this guy seems like a shithead" in 20 minutes flat just from reading your comments.
You’re making up a magic bullshit definition of ban evasion that ignores the intent of the action.
No, that's the definition that admins go by when it comes to ban evasion. Which is why I haven't been banned from the instances I'm on. They are in charge of what a ban evasion is, not you.
And to reiterate: you are practicing ban evasion. Not on this instance, but on other instances.
What instance have I posted on that I have been banned from that counts as ban evasion? The big ban was from lemmy.world. And I don't post on lemmy.world. And in fact, blocked that instance. Because .world is a toxic shithole now.
What community have I been banned from that I have posted in? The admins on my instances totally know who I am. They have admitted that I haven't evaded any bans, which is why I'm still here.
Just because YOU don't like that, that's not my issue. You're not an admin that gets to make that call.
Part of the awesomeness of the fediverse is that we don't have to stay in one place. If you get banned from an instance, you can go to another. That's the point.
Also, if I wanted to ban evade, I would just come up with an alt name, on an alt instance, or even the same instance and keep posting.
I don't do that. The admins know I don't do that.
Here's the thing: The admins of the instances I'm on, support my right to be on their instance. Accept it. I'm not going anywhere.
Personally block me whenever you see my name if you want. I totally accept that.
Oh! And I do have some more awesome news: I actually just created MY OWN INSTANCE as well.
And just started a new website and domain name and I'll be creating another instance based on that website/domain name. And I'll be running some mastadon stuff from it as well.
I'm going all in on the entire fediverse line of products too. It's going to be what I do with my time.
I'm youngish, retired, fit and healthy, with no bosses or expectations. I don't have to answer to anyone. And I can't be canceled. So I have lots of free time.
Let me guess, you think that's "ban evasion" as well, right?! lol
I don't advocate anything illegal. Never have, never would. I don't even post stuff that's radical--Lemmy is just mad because I'm not a liberal.
So if this name does get banned, I'll come up with another. And I'll create another instance. And another. And another. Then we can talk about ban evasion, friend.
So it's probably best that you just block me, and/or ignore me, and move on.
I'm. Not. Going. Away.
Yikes bruh
Fuck you. Quit playing victim you sack of shit.
You seem like a super friendly and easygoing guy. Thanks for jumping in.
But I'm not playing victim. I'm playing victory.
See, I fucking won.
No one stopped me. No one changed my mind. And I'm still here. Posting what I want, where I want.
U mad, brah?
Aw yiss i love me some universal Monk now! I had a feelin you were probably another acct i also liked. I am on a new acct to bit i don't have a saga like yours lol i just junk my accts once a year fer security.
Looking forward to a new year playa
Thanks, amiko!
I read your whole saga. And you pleaded that you just wanted into these instances for health and anarchy content.
Every time it's the same political type communities. [Remember your thread?] (https://slrpnk.net/post/15050192).
I know it's easy to fall back into the same behavior. You're relapsing and doing the same thing again. You have to cut all things that trigger the urge to post to politics communities if you want to be a better netizen.
Focus on the more positive communities.
Instance-based tho, friend. I have not posted anything overtly political on my slrpnk instance, just as I said I wouldn't.
I didn't "plead"; I use different instances for different things.
Some instances are anarchy-based, and I'm on several like that. One is vegan-based, and only focuses on vegan issues, so when I'm on that one, I only talk vegan stuff.
One instance is so anarchy, that I can't post socialist stuff on it. So I don't. One instance that I'm based on is only for literature stuff, so I only post writing stuff.
This instance is a general-based instance. So I can talk about anything I want or find interesting.
Focus on the more positive communities.
There is nothing negative here. I'm simply posting articles that I find interesting. I didn't write the articles. What makes you think this isn't a positive community?
You do realize that not every Lemmy HAS to be democrat or left-leaning right? This community is for people who may lean right and/or not mind Trump.
I also have a socialist community on this instance: Socialism@lemmyusa.com
You are free to start your own communities posting stuff you find interesting. As I am.
Thanks, friend!
