    After a quick look at the communities you’ve been banned from they are heavily moderated in ways that can seem very arbitrary to outsiders who don’t share their opinions.

    Communities on lemmy.ml: tankie echo chamber that bans anyone going against the narrative.

    Blahaj/womensstuff/lgbt…: “safe spaces” that will moderate anything that (subjectively) might be considered offensive/bothersome to their main user categories. Womensstuff bans all men.

    Whilst you in the Fediverse are free from the tyranny of a single overlord, you instead have to contend with all the little counts and lords you run into in their online fiefdoms. Thus: lower likelihood of getting a sitewide ban unless you are very extreme, but higher likelihood of accidentally stepping on someones toes and getting banned from a community by being a normal person.

      This was very educational and i enjoyed very much when you described them as counts and lords in their online fierfdoms. Much respect to you and this comment
