There is no war but class war.

This was very informative. I was slightly sheltered from the nature of the server because I didn’t log into my hexbear often and generally I just broswed the most popular posts. Thanks for the share.

A classical approach. That’s so refreshing.

I love the Piracy Wiki! I’m never sure if I fit in some places when applying. I might have a dbzer0 account, but I can’t remember if I got intimidated by their sign-up process or not. I’m not super tech-literate, just enough to be dangerous and think I can build a home server.

Unfortunately, it’s what has become of the internet. If you’re not correct enough, then you are now “other.” I wish more people could see what the tribalism is doing. I miss the old internet every day. For a small window of time, we were all made closer by being able to talk to each other. Ignorance was forgiven if it was acknowledged, if you showed growth. Then assholes with money and an agenda started controlling the conversation. I’m sure there are true believers out there who stifle and snub anyone who isn’t 100% on board with their ideology, but for a time we were building coalitions to change the world.

Are you allowed to make suggestions or is that against the rules? earnest question. There are tons of servers out there. I imagine Anarchist ones are also blacklisted in a lot of places.

Thank you, I had found the Lemmy post, but it was three years old. That’s an eternity in online forum time. The other links still make it seem like a cool place with cool people.

ml was actually my first server on the mobile app. I had no idea it was a black sheep until other communities on other servers stopped giving me access. I can’t even remember now. I’ve been on world and just viewing offline for a while now.

Yeah, this. Lemmy in general is a smaller community, and it’s very charged. It’s easier to piss someone off, and it’s more likely that the person you piss off is going to have the power to ban you.

Yeah, but I find it important to know what the extremes are saying. It’s hard to know where you are sometimes and what can and can’t be said.

When I was on Reddit, I tried to stay in both of the extreme camps just so I could know how scared to be in my current home country. I haven’t seen any extremist stuff on Lemmy.world so it’s my main server.

No sweat on the correction. I’ll leave it so people can follow.

Yeah true. I don’t post much but in the modern age when you say something in one community it will often get you banned somewhere else. The fact that I said I enjoy hexbear should key you in on what some of those posts were, but I tend to keep a neutral profile in neutral spaces. This profile wasn’t banned from hexbear, but I wouldn’t be suprised it it got banned now. It’s the current order of things.

It’s less about fitting in and more about keeping this profile more politically correct. Even if it fits in with the current modderation standards. I believe that in the age of AI anything said online is a data point.

I’m not a tankie, but I do enjoy their memes. They don’t play well with others and they get defederated. But I promise, I’m not a tankie

lol. No skin off my back. I just have friends in the area so I took the particular post a little personally.

oh yeah, sure. I likely will. I can’t say when, but before making a new account I’d like to understand the right way to act. Besides, I took a look at their application questions and I’m really not sure how my answers would land when their trying to keep that community purity someone else mentioned. Everyone deserves a space. I just have friends in Ukraine so I took that particular post personally.

I keep multiple accounts on various servers because I think it’s better to be able to read all the points of view. I like Hexbear and .ml but they do get pretty wild sometimes.

I’ve been here for like a year but it does feel like being in highschool sometimes lol. I gotta work on regulating my emotions better.

Yeah, but understanding a community makes it a little easier to interact with and contribute to. I don’t take it personally. I just wanted to understand it better. It’s a different online culture. same as any culture really. respect it while you’re there. I just didn’t know the unspoken norms.

It’s really hard to find history and lore about the various communities beyond “these ones are communist and these ones aren’t.” I tend to keep quiet most of the time for that reason. It’s not always what you say, but how you say it, and many people are operating from completely different historical touchstones. Like I said, I tend to keep alts so I can see all sides, but the world is so ban-happy these days, idk. I was pretty heated in the moment on those posts, but what can you do? shrug At least I’m getting the news and discussion I want.
