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.

As per .world worldnews mod, no discussing naughty stuff like jury nullification.

While this post is blowing up, here's the book referenced by the shooter:

I want to find a new home instance, just randomly picked this one when I signed up moving from reddit.

Anybody got any suggestions or one's to avoid?

[–] Blaze 20 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

https://lemm.ee is generalist, second biggest instance, cool admins, federated with almost everyone

Lemmy.zip is a bit more techy, but very transparent: https://lemmy.zip/post/27236300 also federated with almost everyone

If you look for instance defederated from hexbear and lemmygrad, there is https://sopuli.xyz/ and https://discuss.online/

https://reddthat.com/ is nice too, but disables downvotes

Reading this from lemm.ee right now! I'm also a big fan of https://sh.itjust.works/.

I’m a bit leftist, am I a good fit for shit just works?

[–] hok@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 weeks ago

On Lemmy, everything is a bit leftist at the moment.

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 3 points 2 weeks ago

Discuss.Online is currently federated with hexbear.net, but there is an active petition to defederate from it.

Personally I'd recommend picking an instance that at least has Hexbear and Lemmygrad blocked, as that removes 95% of the toxicity you'd see on the platform. You can check what an instance blocks by scrolling to the bottom of their main page and clicking the instances link.

Sopuli.xyz is a really solid medium sized general instance, with good admins and an updated lemmy.

Lemmy.cafe is a nice small instance (not much local activity, so you'll need to rely on the All view and your subscriptions for that one).

If you have affinity with Anarchism (or environmentalism or sailing the high seas), Slrpnk.net and lemmy.dbzer0 are both excellent.

But if you'd like a more themed instance that appeals to a particular interest, by all means go for that instead. https://lemmyverse.net/ or the instance finder tool at https://join-lemmy.org/ are good places to find one. :)

also @calcopiritus@lemmy.world

You can block those on any instance.

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Unfortunately an individual blocking an instance only stops posts from those instances from showing up, but you can still see comments and responses from the users of the blocked instance.

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ah, I blocked them and then haven't seen anymore of them, so I assumed that blocked me from seeing their comments. Guess I've just been lucky.

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Your instance is ~~fully~~ defederated from ~~them~~ Lemmygrad.

I think I should point out the "they" I was referring to was specifically hexbear.

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Tbh Hexbear and Lemmygrad users aren't very toxic unless you go into their communities and post liberal cringe

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

You're a tankie, of course you don't see an issue with their behaviour. You were never the target of it.

[–] Gort@lemm.ee 7 points 2 weeks ago

When I first joined Lemmy, I made the same mistake.

I'm now on lemm.ee, which is quite a tolerant instance with none of the bullshit... at least not yet. .sdf is also a good instance (I have that as a backup account).

[–] Cataphract@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

I think the only things that matter are connectivity and defederation. As long as you have a continuous healthy connection to them (no lag, etc) and they don't defederate from the rest of the fediverse you should be ok.
