I’m sorry if this breaks a rule for this sub or isn’t in the right place.

I really don’t know, most of the time I just lurk. I had an alt on Hexbear because they get defederated all the time, and I really enjoy their content, but it got banned because I called out Nazi propaganda about Ukraine(It’s why I was banned. I’m not trying to talk politics I would like to focus on Lemmy), and I’m just very confused. The rules they referenced for the ban seem to barely apply to what I said, and in general, the server seemed like a cool place to be. I definitely felt like I was in a community where I belonged.

I’m just boggled and could really use some hand-holding on this one. In general, the rules of the Lemmyverse confuse me. I want to see everything, but the places I like most are usually defederated from the larger communities.

If this isn’t right please please, just point me to where I can ask.

Thanks!

    Because some of us have run a foul of their Doctrine not knowing whom they were, and been exposed to an avalanche of trolling, and trolling from other subs or instances I guess.

      What communities are these? Sounds like these are some toxic and/political communities. I try to stay away from political discourse online.

      (Btw, that’s not how you use “whom” 🫪🫣❤️, sorry for pointing it out)

        Hexbear and ml, hexbear is by far the worst. New people come on and wander onto these communities and say something that upsets them and get trolled to the point where they quit let me altogether it’s actually a big problem.

        I’m against censorship but many of these instances are not entirely wrong to De Federate from them, you have no idea how bad they are in this regard they are super aggressive. And their reach extends beyond those instances. If you piss them off there, they will get you banned here and there and elsewhere, and troll you.

        To their credit, they were some of the original Developers as they were the first to be purged from reddit, and this is basically a Reddit refugee site.

          Hexbear and ml

          Those sound like instances, not communities. I’m assuming you meet all these toxic people in political communities?

          ml was actually my first server on the mobile app. I had no idea it was a black sheep until other communities on other servers stopped giving me access. I can’t even remember now. I’ve been on world and just viewing offline for a while now.

          This is why its a good idea for the bigger instances to defederate from hexbar

        Yeah, but I find it important to know what the extremes are saying. It’s hard to know where you are sometimes and what can and can’t be said.

        When I was on Reddit, I tried to stay in both of the extreme camps just so I could know how scared to be in my current home country. I haven’t seen any extremist stuff on Lemmy.world so it’s my main server.

        No sweat on the correction. I’ll leave it so people can follow.

          Oh, no, that wasn’t directed at you. I didn’t see you say “whom” anywhere. I don’t think I replied to you. 🤔

      Yeah, this. Lemmy in general is a smaller community, and it’s very charged. It’s easier to piss someone off, and it’s more likely that the person you piss off is going to have the power to ban you.
