Haven’t been able to find one I’m confident about. Seems like they’ll all either ban me or have no reach/no momentum. Is it worth continuing to try this one, like they might actually not ban me? Is there a different one I should be trying instead?
Should I just immediately block everyone that replies in bad faith and tell them to try me on nostr so I’m not stopping them from talking to me but I also can’t get “banned for insults” ?


Look, I’ll be real with you: based on the limited information I have about you, and my past experiences with other people who match the limited information you’ve given us… usually people in your position are either hiding information or genuinely ignorant of what they are actually getting banned for, usually right-wing sentiment.
So if your analysis of your situation is accurate, and if you’re not a right-winger…come over to Lemmy.SDF.org. You will absolutely not get banned from SDF over debating Lemmy’s federation and advocating for freedom of speech. Individual communities can still ban you of course. There’s no rules against insulting people and while I try to avoid insulting people because it’s not productive and it makes SDF look bad, some people in recent memory have absolutely earned it.
I really can’t tell if you’re sincere or not. I apologize for that.
I don’t get how people keep conflating me with right-wing people. It’s like right-wing people are going around imitating me to confuse people or something. It seriously makes no sense. It’s enraging and incomprehensible.
That instance appears to not allow open signups. I don’t want to be associated with a place that says “fill out an application and wait to be approved.”
I can’t get this comment right. It needs to show less emotion because it could bother someone to read it. But it needs more emotion because I’m too tired of all this. I don’t know what to say.
Man, you know why you’re getting downvoted so much? Your comments fall of as EXTREMELY egocentric.
On the internet, you are not special, just one of the many billions of usernames around. It’s not that right wingers are imitating you, the problem is that so often someone will make a post like yours saying “I get banned so often, this place is impossible”, and when people ask what they did to get banned, they’ll receive some vague bullshit answers like “for saying the truth” or “for any word I speak”, then you see their history and they say the most hateful, racist or mysoginist thing you can think of and they’ll act as the most persecuted of victims. It appears you are doing the same, even if that’s not your intention.
You are on the internet man, if people don’t do that, spam happens and instances get flooded with bots trolling everything until they shut down. If you don’t want to “be approved” you won’t have an account anywhere. Deal with it.
I’m not trying to insult you, just trying to help you, because it looks like you are slightly oblivious to how you present yourself.
Herd mentality, etc.
Nope, there’s no reason any egocentrism in my comments would justify downvotes, in a mentally healthy person’s eyes. This is just victim-blaming and gaslighting.
Didn’t ask, why waste time typing that?
I know. That’s why I said that wouldn’t make sense. Try reading before replying. Will skip the rest of this paragraph now since you apparently didn’t read what you were replying to before typing it.
Not my problem. Not gonna associate myself with reddit clones that say “fill out an application and wait to be approved”
So a simple “no” would have sufficed, instead of all this shit
Sounds like you need to get better at not insulting people if this is taken at face value, but of course, it’s just more gaslighting
This is about as easy as it gets to sign up for a Lemmy instance other than spinning up your own. No email needed. Your response does not need to be incredible, just needs to say what you plan to get out of the experience. I think I put in like two sentences.
Completely understand. Good luck on finding an online home. I still think SDF is a good bet.
But I already have an account and I didn’t spin up my own or wait for approval
That is good at least
Thank you
