      The reason I made my account on .world was because it was the most Zionism infested instance. It was a very intentional choice.

      As long as you can debunk the Hasbara without getting banned it’s the best place to change people’s minds. You’d be amazed what .world looked like 9 months ago.

      The mods put up with it for a while. But now the elections are coming close and Biden is still committing Genocide the .World mods are stepping up the censorship.

      What are you on?

      I just recently got banned (I think, never got a response) from the politics sub for reporting another use that called me retarded. It’s legit confusing. I literally reported them because it seemed out of pocket but apparently I said something offensive as well

      I’m about ready to that go back to reddit, just using a web browser on my phone. This is place is asking users for a lot and people still don’t seem to understand what a community is. All the pretty words people used when we migrated over was all BS apparently. It’s weird since people clearly put in work but like, where are the mods/admins leading the community? Idk, maybe this stuff’s just too hard for mostly socially-stunted people to manage (including myself, raised on video games and whatnot)

        Shortly before I was permabanned I got an intensely hateful PM from someone who created a throwaway account just for that. He claimed that all Arabs are pedos and rapists and Islam is a disease of the mind and Arabs are infected. He glorified the genocide in Gaza because ‘That’s what you get for killing Jews’.

        His master account is probably still active and unblemished. He was probably the guy whose reply I gave got me permabanned

        Why not try a different instance? .world is by far the worst of the major instances and the most friendly towards transphobia, zionism, fascism, and left-punching.

          Idk, it’s honestly all a bit too confusing. I still don’t get how this place works. I just use sync and even then some servers/instances or whatever will say I can’t vote for certain posts/servers - idk, I’m assuming there’s servers that get turned off at night or something

          Have a recommendation? I only joined world because it seemed to have the least requirements for joining and was maybe more popular. I remember other instances requiring you answer a bunch of questions to join or something like that

            “Instances” are like islands. There are other islanders you can interact with, with their own buildings, but people can visit your buildings from other islands. You can’t make another island your “home,” though, and just interact with their buildings. Some islands are on good terms, and some are on bad terms, and block each other.

            What this looks like practically, are that you need to pick an instance that passes your vibe check. Scrolling by local on your home instance should be fun and engaging, and scrolling by “all” should show you more stuff you want to see.

            Lemmy.world intentionally defederates from the more overtly Leftist instances, as an example, so it skews more right-wing.

            Go to this instance explorer, check out interesting instances, and scroll locally, anonymously. See the vibe! If you like the vibe, make an account or apply for one, and start interacting. You don’t have to delete your old account! I have 2, each on different instances, depending on my mood.

                No problem! It takes a bit of trial and error to find a nice home or two, but it’s generally better to get off of “generalist” instances and join something that fits your interests better.

                  Wait, so are there other politics instances? There isn’t just the one?

                  I seem to get subs/instances for other communities that aren’t from lemmy.world but only one politics community.

                  If there’s another one that’d be great. I just realized the guy I reported is still commenting there while I was banned for 3 days. I kinda don’t really feel like returning there if that’s how they choose to run it.

                    Many different ones, like World News and US News on Lemmy.ml. Most instances host their own News and Politics instances, and you’re blocked from seeing some on Lemmy.world.

                    Check which instance the News Community you got banned from was on, it might not have been Lemmy.world.
