I’m sorry if this breaks a rule for this sub or isn’t in the right place.

I really don’t know, most of the time I just lurk. I had an alt on Hexbear because they get defederated all the time, and I really enjoy their content, but it got banned because I called out Nazi propaganda about Ukraine(It’s why I was banned. I’m not trying to talk politics I would like to focus on Lemmy), and I’m just very confused. The rules they referenced for the ban seem to barely apply to what I said, and in general, the server seemed like a cool place to be. I definitely felt like I was in a community where I belonged.

I’m just boggled and could really use some hand-holding on this one. In general, the rules of the Lemmyverse confuse me. I want to see everything, but the places I like most are usually defederated from the larger communities.

If this isn’t right please please, just point me to where I can ask.

Thanks!

    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.

      Do you mean suggestions of anarchist instances?

      There’s my instance (quokk.au), anarchist.nexus, Lemmy.dbzer0.com, and slrpnk.net as far as I’m aware.

      And no blacklisting, we make up a sizeable portion of users due to the nature of the Fediverse being open.

      Nope, they’re actually some of the larger servers (which is still pretty small all things considered, lol).

      For lemmy, there’s the instance/server I’m commenting from: lemmy.dbzer0.com

      It was built by the former head mod db0 of reddit’s /r/piracy, so piracy discussion is cool here too. They’ve also made a decent bunch of software for lemmy servers, like a database/review system for lemmy instances, and a CSAM detection tool.

      The instance also tries to handle as many big instance/server decisions as they can democratically (donators/supporters and community members vouched for get to vote, and the rest of the server’s users act as tie-breaker).

        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.
