There are instances that federate together as a single sort of entity.

So, are there other entities? Meaning, is there a group of Lemmy instances somewhere outside of the existing ones we see here?

And, how do I get there, and which one don’t have people from the USA?

Quokk.au perm banned one of my accounts when a mod from sh.itjust.works complained about me being uncivil. What’s funny is I never really participated on quokk. So the admin on that instance banned me for someone else’s vague “uncivil” rule. I guess I understand the desire not to be an admin and have users on your server causing trouble. Especially if it’s one of the abusive admins.

The trouble with just participating on one instance though, is the users might be elsewhere. A large instance like .world (and ml) has more leverage than another instance and that is wrong.

So, there is no instance that won’t ban me eventually.

can't have your cake and eat it too. the way federation works means bigger instances will always have more influence, but it's a double edged sword. They cannot defederate from everything or it just turns into a normal centralized reddit knockoff, so the best thing to do is not to give in to their demands, if it gets bad enough the users will move; something else will become the next "flagship instance".

nothing is exactly stopping you from jumping instances each time until you find someone that does not care for petty cross-site drama. username and comment history goes bust, but maybe that's a good thing; less traceability.

I guess I’ll just keep on getting a new account every two weeks like I have done for the past 3 years 😂

Welcome to fukkkin Lemmy.

Have you tried being banned on piefed yet for some novelty? xd

[-] YourBestFriend@quokk.au 2 points 1 day ago

Going for round 3

[-] Quokka@quokk.au 1 points 1 day ago

I can’t recall ever banning anyone because another instances mod said they were uncivil, most bans I’ve made have been for racism, misogyny or *phobia.

If you had received a temp ban from whatever instance your account was on at the time, PieFed has a design choice where they never expire on our end so it would look like a perm ban?

[-] YourBestFriend@quokk.au 1 points 1 day ago

You have a short memory my friend. I’m not a racist, misogynist, bigot, *phobic, or PTB. So I guess you’re just part of the problem.

I’d try to coin AAAB (all admins are bastards), but that’s just sounds like an adorable sheep bleating, and you are anything but.

You gonna ban YourBestFriend? You would, wouldn’t you?

Well if you provide the username I can look it up and see the reasoning.

You gonna ban YourBestFriend? You would, wouldn’t you?

Only if you go against the rules

I’m not providing a username, officer.

[-] Quokka@quokk.au 1 points 1 day ago

:bc_eyeroll: Riiight, if I wanted to ban you for your previous account I could have simply just done that. All the username does is verify your story because for now and with what I know of why I tend to ban users you sound extremely sus.

[-] YourBestFriend@quokk.au 0 points 1 day ago

You can ban me for whatever. You don’t need to actually follow your rules lmfao, that’s for me to have to follow.

Eye. Roll. AAAB

[-] Quokka@quokk.au 2 points 1 day ago

I'm not above the instances rules.

And yes eye rolling at your needlessly antagonistic behavior. I'm not surprised you get kicked out of most spaces if this is how you act.

I remember my first week on Lemmy. It was a few years back. I went to a place that I now know of as news@lemmy.world. I saw a post about something life threatening regarding Trump. I forget what exactly. I commented “haha, good.” Several minutes later I was perm banned by jeffw. That’s about the time I realized this place wasn’t any different than Reddit, a place I never got banned from in the 10 years I was there, and I should treat people how they treat me.

So I guess thank jeffw for creating the monster you see before you. 🙂🙃🙂

LW has some contentious moderation decisions. I generally avoid it where possible.

I have no problems with you saying Nazis should die or laughing at the death of someone shitty. I also honestly have no recollection of ever banning someone simply for being “uncivil” because another mod asked, to the point where I think you might be leaving some of the story out.

Nor do I think you’re a monster, but I do think you could ease up on the hostility a bit.

Anyway I guess, welcome to the instance.
