This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.

Rules

Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.

Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.


Some acronyms you might see.

At some point I have to start wondering if Putin pays these sorts of people.

Pick whatever instance you find first, they said. It doesn't really matter which one, you can participate all over lemmy, they said.

Now every time i post a comment, people automatically assume I'm pro Russia and a tankie on account of having an account on lemmy.ml

This sucks. I can't believe I'm gonna have to migrate instances to be taken seriously on discussions.

See it in a positive way: now you can carefully choose an instance that you like compared to your previous account

Also, this must be my 10th alt. It takes a few minutes to export/import the settings and that's it

sorry to hear that. My first account was on ML too.

Yeah same. I moved after seeing too many words being censored like removed.

I was flabbergasted when I found out the word Chicken was sometimes censored. It would put removeden. Really saved me from those nuggets of hurtful baby hens.

We don't believe you, you tankie vatnik.

/s obviously.

FYI, just making a new user on a different instance isn't a big deal. Guess why there's a "3" in my user name. Come to think of it, my first account was on lemmy.ml too, although the main reason why I moved at that time was because I forgot the password.

People are dumb everywhere. You're not really wondering about that hm? 😉 I wouldn't migrate because of that. Quite the contrary, the dumdums sort themselves out this way, saves a lot of time.

But what you also have to consider, migrating instances sends a signal. Its the same as people who stopped using twitter because of musk. When you continue using something you make it look like you font really care, so migrating your account is a good way to tell the admins that you dislike their policies.
