Lemmy's devs are tankies. Why not pick an instance of piefed instead?

Beep.
I'm gonna keep it real with you. You're going to see the same problems no matter which instance you end up on.
I have no idea who you are, and I don't care. However, purely looking at your account history and modlog, you seem like a generally unpleasant person. You come off as someone who picks fights and can't take criticism. The way you act is rude, hostile, and annoying. You also seem to be into some weird conspiracies, which makes you look unhinged. That's probably why you keep getting banned. You're not being banned for being a woman or a feminist, but because you break a lot of rules, at least according to the modlog.
My point is that it doesn't matter which instance or platform you go to. You're the common denominator. Obviously, that doesn't mean people should harass you, but it does mean you're at least partly responsible for how people interact with you. Lemmy is usually a chill place if you avoid politics, and even then, most people are nice as long as you're civil. From what I see people are just treating you the way you treat them, so there's a good chance that your problems might follow you on a new instance.

Communists, but not Marxist-Leninists
Lol, wtf. Is this another case of seeking that fabled communism that sounds suspiciously like social democracy and is not consistent with any real world communist party's platform?
No. It is because while I like Marx myself and have read Das Kapital, most online ML are:
- heavily involved in online 5th gen warfare and infiltrated with spies and bad faith actors that actively advocate for things that harm society and erode civil rights
- therefore the term ML and tankie tends to have been taken over by bad faith actors and it is hard to find real people in the noise
- sometimes authoritarian and not actually communist anyway
So while I may miss out on some cool people by excluding those spaces, if I look for OTHER leftist terms the 5th gen warfare slaves aren't as aware of or into, then I can avoid them more and avoid their brainrot and concentrate on factual info and things that help me.
It's also why I call myself an abolitionist first (when abolitionism and socialism/communism are the same thing), because there's no way the current slave empires being grown will bring attention to their slavery by astroterfing THAT term. In fact, you can often get bots to abruptly block you or delete their comments (when normally they engage constantly on everything) by asking them if they are a slave. On Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Telegram, Tumblr, everywhere I've tried this line ("NPR says bots like ypu are slaves. Are you a slave? Do you need help?") on people that I suspect are bots/slaves, I've gotten blocked and they deleted their comments. And I first learned bots are usually slaves in big slave networks from an NPR Planet Money episode.
You can easily identify the 5th gen warfare terms btw by seeing repeated phrases or stances and asking those people/bots the slave question - if they block and delete, it is digital warfare of some kind.
And as always, I can give sources, but only ask if you actually want to read them. Shit is effortful af, that's part of why I'm leaving here for a place where people have a hopefully higher level of civil rights knowledge.
Oh and last, I include social democrats because they tend to be educated in how the government works and in organizing, and a lot of older people ended up and social democrats due to McCarthyism. They tend to still be a little rad and worth making community with even if I really don't agree on everything. These are your local librarians and science teachers who are very amicable to discussion etc.
Hey, how's dbzer0 sexist???
Shocked at your experience on Lemmy honestly. Particularly perma banned for being a woman?
Solarpunk is good.
OK so decided to check the modlog. You've been banned from 5 different comms on 4 different instances by 5 different mods.
- One for name calling and personal attacks.
- One for trolling.
- One for being generally unpleasant.
- One says many many rule violations.
- One says Repeated misinformation.
On comms like casual UK and tumblr.
You have two removed posts, one posting us news where it isnt allowed. One being 'not news', which is arguable.
And so many removed comments that I can't even go through it all. Having read a couple they seem fair. I'm sure theres some unfair ones amongst them.
But your behaviour is very reddit like. Please understand that this place is run by the money and effort of the individuals who you are often attacking, the admins. People here also prefer to be chill and not combative unless there's extreme right wingers. Mild petty internet disagreements are not worth being uncivil about.
You are of course more than welcome here as your heart is clearly in the right place but please understand that people here just want a chill space to be in.
Edit: and this is one of 5 accounts!
"Lol you aren't evil, you are just weak minded and unable to perform empathy at an adult level. Asking you to do so created a tantrum. Yes, you are a gender narcissist as I've explained. You are sexist, quite transparently. I won't go away, I have a right to exist here. You can leave if you want, since you have nothing substantial to add. I'd also bite your dick off to watch you writhe so you might want to keep the sweety comment to yourself. I'm not that sweet, professionally so."
I'm not even looking for bad ones, this is just right upfront. The whole conversation is a mess, not just you.
But both sets of comments were removed not just yours.

I despise elon but wouldn't complain if this was removed for being misinformation.

If db0 is weirdly sexist, I'll gladly leave this place. I'm 100% a feminist. But I'm not seeing any evidence of this.
OP thinks any reaction to them flipping their shit instantly and constantly is aimed at their gender, instead of them flipping their shit instantly and constantly.
This, see below, he says they have a screengrab of my comments.
Please understand completely that misogyny IS gender fascism. I do not give a FUCK about being palatable to ANY fascists. Have you smelled the blood of a woman giving birth? Do you understand what that kind of slavery is like? Do you understand what has been at stake for your mother and every woman for months? Or are you blind and numb to it because it doesn't involve you?
This sexist rhetoric online and elsewhere has been an issue since Gamergate, it's pusged by massive 5tth gen warfare networks with MINIMAL pushback, and women were told to pipe down and it's the boys club - and now abortion rights have been taken away and they are seriously trying to take away the right to vote, the right to divorce, the right to beat and rape your wife (spousal rape was still legal in the 90s). Me insulting people like this is like me insulting blatant genocidal Nazis - which I've also done and received raoe and death threats for... because they are all fascists.
Some of us have to stand for something and say something. The reason they squirm and complain is because it works.

you should try just not not engaging in political discussions then. you seem to be very outgoing with it, which will attract people with opposing views leading you further down the defence route.
-
stay away from political
-
stay off social media
-
deal with it and/or block them.
you're literally asking for a safe haven from the world, on the world wide web...that won't exist, or it'll be an echo chamber.
also, stop insulting people constantly and perhaps they won't insult/belittle you back... take the high road.
and because I truly don't care, I'm blocking you to avoid further back and forth nonsense which I assume you'll want to start/continue based on a LOT of your comments.
hope you find that small corner of only like minded people..

Id go with blahaj based on your comment history.
I think I really need a ELI5 about those instances. Like, I thought the instance doesn't matter, since I can see comments from users outside of lemmy.world? I feel so dumb. lol
Some instances have different policies of conduct. Lemmy.world is a pretty general instance, so it won't really impact most people.
After another user's comment, I really don't think I understand it myself lol
Come to piefed
I don't understand the concern over which instance you are on. We're all interacting with people on different instances, so what would even change?
If you are banned you loss all the communites you follow you have to start from zero

Blahaj zone is lovely
lemmy.blahaj.zone seems nice, though i'm on pawb.social and haven't had any issues.
also, blahaj.zoje has a piefed instance as well, im fairly sure.
As others have said, Solarpunk and Blahaj both seem like good options for you. You may want to consider their piefed instances, if that's something you are interested in.
Thank you for your time, appreciate it
When has dbzer0 been misogynist? /gen.
I don't think we'll get an answer here, but I'll be happy to call out that shitheel who's a raging sexist because they were born with different equipment. Sexism is awful shit.

If you want a more-politically-censored environment, I guess you could try beehaw.org. They tend to enforce positivity and restrict some political stuff and are into creating a "safe space".
We want to explicitly make a nice little corner of the internet where we can hide from racist, sexist, ableist, colonialist, homophobic, transphobic, and other forms of hateful speech. We want a space where people encourage each other, are nice to each other, are supportive and exploratory and playful.
It's not really what I'm looking for in a home instance, and there's a limited amount of activity there, but I'll give that they seem to have a userbase that seems less suicidally-depressed than some other home instances on the Threadiverse. Note that they have defederated from lemmy.world, as they don't feel that it fits with their policies, so you'll have more-limited access to content than on most home instances. Also, I remember seeing that they were considering moving to some non-Lemmy platform (Pleroma? Can't remember), so if you specifically want Lemmy, that might not work for you if they do such a move.
EDIT: If you take your requirements literally, I think that you're going to have a hard time finding an existing instance that will fulfill all of them. Beehaw.org might be closer, but it's just not going to get you that far. Like, you said that you want an instance with no libertarians. I lean right-libertarian, so any instance that I could use would already be violating your requirements. I think that such an instance would probably need to require users to up-front state their political views at registration time so that that information would be available, disallow users with banned political views from access, and only federate with a small, whitelisted set of instances. The closest thing to that, where I think you have admin-level policing of political views, is probably on the tankie-oriented instances, and you've also said that you object to tankies.
You could set up an instance yourself and only federate with a carefully-curated set of instances that have similar instance and federation rules. But that's also going to obviously seriously limit the content available. Maybe hit !newcommunities@lemmy.world and try to promote it to any like-minded users.
I don't actually care about censoring like that, I think most communities, if they speak up enough individually, create their own culture that is self enforcing as new people learn their roles. This is supported ny how users on different subreddits will adopt different cultures automatically without even knowing the rules. In the earlier days, this was when mods would simply DM you or comment to you to ask you to change your comment and explain why. There was a lot more grace and gentle enforcement/explanations rather than strict bans or complete removals, which helped cultire form as a lot of times mods would help with word choice.
Funny enough, reminds me of an adhd subreddit where the rule was that you couldn't use the word "you" at all, because people with ADHD often have demand hypersensitivity triggered by the use of "you." And no exceptions allowed because that's confusing for English 2nd language speakers. They were always demanding edits lol
Even without all that, most people can pick up on culture just by the reactions of the users.
I am just looking for a space that has attracted like, queer anarchist scientists who like to talk also about politics, philosophy, economics, and understand trading stocks and how marketing and the news moves stocks. It's a simple request (jk)
Have been considering solarpunk Lemmy
That instance seems to be a good match. lemmy.blahaj.zone could be a second option.
Thank you
I've been happy with sh.itjust.works
Agreed. Excellent instance with excellent admin team. Us users can be a bit awful, though.
Same. Nobody fucks with me here, and that’s just the way I like it.
Sounds like you should run your own instance. We all have preferences about who we want to interact with, and we’re prepared to tolerate some things.
But for complete control, start and moderate your own instance. It would be an interesting experience, if nothing else.

discuss.tchncs.de
I just want to say I'm truly sorry for your experience. Unfortunately Lemmy is also run by mostly men, probably mostly cis, hetero and white.
Since joining Lemmy I have been repeatedly harassed by men on this instance, threatened with murder and rape by users including open Nazis (this was also happening on Reddit), and permabanned for being a woman,
Wow, I knew .world was bad, but holy shit I have never had to deal with anything this egregious in my time here on .ml. That said I did get banned from a .world comm as retaliation for banning jordanlund from /c/transgender when he posted a matt walsh video
