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!

    You know that fifteen year old mindset when you just begin to grasp the idea of and your role in social responsibility but you’re still fifteen so you’re an absolutely obnoxious shit about it? Like “omg babies all abortion is bad”. “Only white people can be racists” “shearing kills sheep!!!” level shit.

    And you know how some people never get out of that because they like the taste of what they think is moral righteousness but is actually just huffing your own biased farts while defining random “acceptable” targets to abuse?

    …yeahhhhhh.

    Purity politics can eat my shit.

      Unfortunately, it’s what has become of the internet. If you’re not correct enough, then you are now “other.” I wish more people could see what the tribalism is doing. I miss the old internet every day. For a small window of time, we were all made closer by being able to talk to each other. Ignorance was forgiven if it was acknowledged, if you showed growth. Then assholes with money and an agenda started controlling the conversation. I’m sure there are true believers out there who stifle and snub anyone who isn’t 100% on board with their ideology, but for a time we were building coalitions to change the world.
