oh right sorry. if you check out the artist pages for both https://e621.net/artists/39696 https://e621.net/artists/69295 they link to the same socials, the one of she tikin has semi as one of the other names

it seems there was already a forum post about this before but people got hung up on wether it should be semi or semi_(artist) but they never resolved the central issue

A reasonable assumption, but any one of us yahoos can monkey around with those artist pages. It's best to only use them as jumping-off points for finding off-site proof of the link in names.

This would be the thread in question.

Anyway, the Wayback-archived (and now currently defunct) She Tikin Twitter has a link to the Waybacked version of the (still active) Sodachida Pixiv which links to the current Hai Deko Twitter and was linked to by the old (defunct) Hai Dekon Twitter.

On the other hand, the semi. Pixiv link to and from the sse_mi Twitter (the kanji translates as "Ikuta Semi" in Google Translate). this Twitter also links to the Sususemi Fanbox (which also is headed as "Ikuta Semi") and the sse mmi Skeb (also titled as "Ikuta Semi").

Beyond a general similarity in art style, I'm not really seeing any link between the two beyond the e621 artist pages, which as said above, aren't enough for proof. Either I haven't dug deep enough and haven't found that link (entirely possible), the artist wants to keep the names separate for some reason (not uncommon), or they're not the same artist (it happens) and those artist pages need to be fixed. Unless someone can show that link, I can't really support this alias.
