Introduction

After extensive investigation, detailed analysis, and numerous community consultations, I am compelled to present a thorough exposé on an individual operating under the username Goat. The substantial body of evidence compiled herein reveals a deeply disturbing and persistent pattern of behavior encompassing unsolicited and inappropriate direct messaging, overt racist rhetoric, blatant homophobia, and sustained transphobia. This post aims to meticulously document the full scope of offenses attributed to Goat, thereby ensuring the Lemmy/Piefed community is fully informed and empowered to take decisive and appropriate action.

Background and Context

User Goat has been an active and vocal member of Lemmy since mid-2023. However, beneath their ostensibly regular participation lies a deeply troubling persona that has repeatedly manifested itself through harmful and hateful actions. Notably, Goat has openly admitted to prior involvement in neonazi forums before migrating to Lemmy, where they have consistently and unapologetically defended neonazi ideology and related hate groups. This behavior is exemplified on the widely defederated hilariouschaos instance, where Goat’s rhetoric has actively contributed to toxicity and the spread of extremist content. Such a background underscores the profound risk Goat poses to community safety and cohesion.

Unsolicited Inappropriate DMs

A significant number of users have come forward reporting that they received unsolicited explicit images from Goat. These images, shockingly including graphic and deeply offensive butthole pictures, were accompanied by messages that ranged from disturbingly demanding to overtly coercive. In multiple cases, Goat unabashedly pressured recipients to reciprocate by sending similarly explicit images of themselves. To empirically verify the extent and consistency of this behavior, I created two alternate accounts, both of which promptly received such disturbing messages, demonstrating the pervasive and predatory nature of Goat’s conduct.

Sender	Recipient	Message Content Summary	Screenshot Reference
Goat	My main acct	"Here's a gift for you. Now your turn." (Butthole pic attached)	NSFW
Goat	Alt acct 1	"You fucking stupid butthole slut I bet you want to see my butthole so badly"	SFW
Goat	Alt acct 2	"Everyone likes some fun pics, don’t be shy!" (image attached)	NSFW

Note: All screenshots have been verified by multiple mods and admins to confirm their authenticity and integrity.

Racism

Goat’s engagement in racist behavior is both frequent and virulent, as evidenced by multiple documented incidents, including but not limited to:

• Defending Neo-Nazi Ideology: Goat has issued explicit defenses of neonazi groups and hateful ideologies, as clearly displayed here.
• Cheering on Indigenous Erasure: In numerous posts, Goat has actively celebrated or trivialized the erasure of indigenous peoples and cultures, a behavior captured in this instance here.
• Racial Slurs Against Cubans: Direct racial slurs targeting Cuban individuals or communities have been posted by Goat, exemplified here.

---

Homophobia

Goat demonstrates consistent patterns of homophobic language and acts intended to demean and marginalize LGBTQ+ members of the community, including:

• Usage of Homophobic Slurs: Open and unapologetic deployment of degrading and harmful slurs targeting gay and queer individuals example here.
• Targeted Harassment of Furry Users: Suggesting that a furry user would fuck their dog to death is a particularly cruel and malicious insult directed towards community members expressing alternative identities or interests, as documented here.
• Mocking Safe Space Efforts: Habitually belittling initiatives aimed at fostering inclusive and safe environments within Lemmy demonstrates Goat’s willful disregard for queer and minority support structures view incident.

---

Transphobia

Goat’s persistent transphobia further deepens their profile as a toxic presence within the community. Documented examples include:

• Deliberate Misgendering: Despite explicit corrections, Goat repeatedly uses incorrect pronouns to disrespect and invalidate trans individuals, a documented behavior found here.
• Questioning Trans Legitimacy via Concern Trolling: Goat employs false concern to undermine the legitimacy of trans identities, casting doubt and fostering a hostile environment, as seen here.
• Equating Access to Hormone Replacement Therapy with Communism: In a misguided attempt to discredit trans healthcare, Goat has implied that insurance coverage for HRT is tantamount to communism, weaponizing political rhetoric to delegitimize essential medical access reference.

---

Recommendations

• Instance Ban Goat:
  Given the scope, severity, and repeated nature of Goat’s violations, it is imperative to enact an immediate and permanent ban on Goat’s account across this instance and every other Lemmy/Piefed instance ran by admins who want to at least pretend to care about their community. This is necessary to prevent further harassment, explicit content dissemination, and hateful rhetoric, thus safeguarding community members.

• Defederation of SJW Instance:
  In light of ongoing moderation failures by SJW admins that allow users like Goat to continue harmful conduct unchecked, serious consideration should be given to defederating the SJW instance altogether. This measure would help prevent the spillover of such toxic behavior and protect the wider federated community integrity.

Summary and Call to Action

In conclusion, the evidence speaks clearly and unequivocally: Goat represents a multifaceted and significant threat to the safety, inclusivity, and fundamental well-being of the Lemmy community. This threat manifests through:

• Repeated sending of unsolicited, explicit images accompanied by coercive demands.
• The propagation of racist ideology and racial harassment.
• Open homophobic attacks and undermining of queer rights and safe spaces.
• Persistent, covert, and overt acts of transphobia.

The collected documentation is thorough, corroborated, and deeply unsettling. Protecting our community from such pervasive harm demands swift, resolute, and collective action.

Let this post stand as both a stern warning and a meticulously detailed record, designed to prevent future harm and preserve the safe, respectful environment we all deserve in this shared space.

This distinction is a lil frustrating for me because I just so happen to also be an amoralist, but it's not inherent to illegalism

I loved this comment by @FundMECFS@lemmy.dbzer0.com

We can think breaking laws in general is good because it makes these useless laws harder to enforce if a lot of people break them. Ie. its a form of resistance against the state.

But [we can] also be staunchly against terrible things like random killings and sexual assault.

One doesn’t entail the other.
