Lemmy isn’t much better.
Care to elaborate on that?
I’m an instance admin, and I haven’t taken money from anyone to fund my stack (let alone terrorists).
Most Lemmy instances are run by volunteers, many as personal projects. The few big instances typically accept donations and often provide financial summaries (Beehaw definitely does, and I think LW does something similar?)
Sure. The swarm of terrorist sympathizers is well known on these pages. Which is fine, but you can’t respond to them without a mod making up an excuse to ban you from a community. You either conform to their thinking or get the hook. They are a powerful lobby. Not the same in other chat boards. Does money change hands? Don’t know, but it’s as if it does. If you haven’t taken money, perhaps some is owed to you.
From the modlog, it shows that you recently posted comments containing ethnic slurs and were just being completely uncivil in the other (the original comments are all visible in the modlog). Further back, several comments were removed for being hostile. It was only after all that you got a 3 day ban which is basically a slap on the wrist.
That’s hardly “conform or get the hook”.
ooof.
I’ll gladly compare past writings and discuss them. But, understand that a mod has to say something to justify their position and they won’t move off that no matter how ridicules it seems. In this case I referred to Jihad Janes. There is nothing ethnic about that and it’s certainly not a slur. Jihad is a spiritual struggle. Anyway, it was enough for the mod.
That’s factually not true. A mod can ban you because they don’t like creeks (as in your name) and it would be perfectly valid. Not saying i agree with it, just that they can without having to justify themselves.
This is true, I was banned from the shithole /politics for my username.
I appealed and got silenced.
Yeah whatever. Keep blowing smoke up my skirt, All Great and Powerful Oz
Make your own community, with blackjack and hookers if you want? If the instance doesn’t let you, make it somewhere else or make your own instance. That’s the beauty of the fediverse.
Generally, you need to be really bad to get de-federated from most instances.
I’ll keep that kind advice in mind
Who exactly is “They?”
Can you link some of these terrorist sympathizers?
And if you link me people supporting Palestinian refugees I am going to block you so hard I’ll need to replace my mouse.
Again.
>The swarm of terrorist sympathizers is well known on these pages.
you’re making this up.
The .ml admins are problematic afaik
Move then?

The problem is you can’t have a differing opinion without runn8ng headlong into a mod.
