Looking for:
- no misogynists (so dbzer0 is out)
- no libertarians, no marxist lenninsts, no tankies, no rightwingers
- people who understand climate change is real
- leftists including anarchists, social democrats, democratic socialists, communists, etc are great
I picked world bc I was told it would have the most activity. Since joining Lemmy I have been repeatedly harassed by men on this instance, threatened with murder and rape by users including open Nazis (this was also happening on Reddit), and permabanned for being a woman, for being a feminist, and for not breaking any rules and posting factual news sources. Would like a better instance.
Have been considering solarpunk Lemmy but willing to consider other instances, just not sure
You must log in or # to comment.
I’m gonna keep it real with you. You’re going to see the same problems no matter which instance you end up on.
I have no idea who you are, and I don’t care. However, purely looking at your account history and modlog, you seem like a generally unpleasant person. You come off as someone who picks fights and can’t take criticism. The way you act is rude, hostile, and annoying. You also seem to be into some weird conspiracies, which makes you look unhinged. That’s probably why you keep getting banned. You’re not being banned for being a woman or a feminist, but because you break a lot of rules, at least according to the modlog.
My point is that it doesn’t matter which instance or platform you go to. You’re the common denominator. Obviously, that doesn’t mean people should harass you, but it does mean you’re at least partly responsible for how people interact with you. Lemmy is usually a chill place if you avoid politics, and even then, most people are nice as long as you’re civil. From what I see people are just treating you the way you treat them, so there’s a good chance that your problems might follow you on a new instance.
Lol no.
It’s amazing, men will do ANYTHING but admit misogyny, even while our government is being actively taken over by misogynists taking away bodily autonomy, the right to divorce, charges for beating your spouse, being able to vote, etc etc. These are all real policy proposals by my government in the last year. And you want to claim that the misogyny is all in my head - a misogynist thing to think and say. The rape threats aren’t in my head, and aren’t being said to men.
I am on other forums, I exist irl, and have been for decades - the issues I see are due to sexism here. That is my experience as a woman. It has also gotten worse as 5th gen warfare has gotten worse (esp since 2016). You don’t need to argue, insult me, or make up alternative theories - this is due to sexism. Period.
If you don’t get this, then you are a misogynist too.
I didn’t ask for your opinions on any of this, and your opinions are dogshit anyway. I asked what instance I might like. If you don’t know, go away.
Way to immediately prove their point
They actually proved mine first.
Case in point lmao
…ditto
Id go with blahaj based on your comment history.
I don’t understand the concern over which instance you are on. We’re all interacting with people on different instances, so what would even change?
If you are banned you loss all the communites you follow you have to start from zero
Because a lot of people and instances block World entirely
Very few do that.
Well, I was in a thread I enjoyed the other day with people I liked, and the majority of them said they block .world because the users are horrible. They were from a lot of different instances and I wasn’t sure which ones were good from just quickly looking, and I couldn’t ask them afaik because they have the entire instance blocked and the users from that instance (ie me), so I made this thread. So perhaps those who do it are just blissfully happy elsewhere and you aren’t aware of it.
Yeah people may choose as individuals to block it, but it’s not instance-level blocked by most instances - that’s what I mean.
Okay, then I misunderstood what people were saying, or perhaps they just meant they aren’t federate with it? But then I wouldnt have seen their comments? Not sure, probably missing something or just misunderstood
They mean that a lot of users might go into their settings to block lemmy.world for themselves.
As others have said, Solarpunk and Blahaj both seem like good options for you. You may want to consider their piefed instances, if that’s something you are interested in.
Thank you for your time, appreciate it
When has dbzer0 been misogynist? /gen.
See my other comment itt
I don’t think we’ll get an answer here, but I’ll be happy to call out that shitheel who’s a raging sexist because they were born with different equipment. Sexism is awful shit.
blahaj.zone ?
Going to be a tall ask, people are people…
I have no problem on small independent forums, when interacting with many other Lemmy instances, or in day to day life lol, it is 100% the culture here that is an issue
Sounds like you should run your own instance. We all have preferences about who we want to interact with, and we’re prepared to tolerate some things.
But for complete control, start and moderate your own instance. It would be an interesting experience, if nothing else.
I do not want control. You misunderstood.
Have been considering solarpunk Lemmy
That instance seems to be a good match. lemmy.blahaj.zone could be a second option.
Thank you
Blahaj zone is lovely
Come to piefed
Since joining Lemmy I have been repeatedly harassed by men on this instance, threatened with murder and rape by users including open Nazis (this was also happening on Reddit), and permabanned for being a woman,
Wow, I knew .world was bad, but holy shit I have never had to deal with anything this egregious in my time here on .ml. That said I did get banned from a .world comm as retaliation for banning jordanlund from /c/transgender when he posted a matt walsh video
No offense but you have open and obvious 5th gen warfare on .ml. Like very severe and dangerous 5th gen warfare. It makes that instance unusable.
Makes sense JL likes Matt Walsh lol, entirely fits with his personality. Thank you for your service in bullying him
I’m not trying to be rude either tbh. That said I don’t see the danger here that you see. If russia and china are spending money on influence operations on lemmy it’s manifestly a waste of resources. There’s platforms out there with way more reach and that’s why states like the US and Israel are so obsessed with controlling those platforms.
I can appreciate not liking the way people here behave, I do generally encourage people who don’t like the vibe to avoid it.
5th gen warfare is dangerous and effective. The point is to create waves of conversation that stack up like a rogue wave in the ocean and flood information systems and thoughts so real information can’t be deciminated and real progress cannot be achieved, and also for monetary gain in ways you may not expect, including crypto.
Like have you even heard about nspm-7? Probably not.

There are obvious phrases - the last big one was the Cracker Barrel logo change whixh waa found to be almost entirely bot (aka human slave as most bots are human slaves) driven. Conveniently, this allowed them to short Cracker Barrel and make money btw, while also holding them for ransom unless they can pony up money and fall in line.
If you dislike fascism, this is blatant fascism. It’s an issue. Not least due to the human slave component and how it has successfully been used to overthrow democracies and human rights worldwide. It’s as serious as taking a bullet.
I have family members who are sort of the equivalent of having died, they have unrecognizable political positions and aren’t themselves anymore. The person that existed was gone and the person in their place only understands and talks about the 5th gen buzzword phrases. Breaking them out of this cult fever is extremely difficult and takes a lot of references to values and things they once loved… And then they think of the buzzword phrase and snap right back into the 5th gen warfare propaganda.
We probably both think the Gazan people deserve food, right? But a lot of those “fundraisers” to give them food and accounts are literally 5th gen warfare stealing money to harm Gazans. That shit is not benign, it is killing people. It is serious af.
Frankly I was here to give people educational info and a warning about WW3 and US civil war that seem imminent, along with global human trafficking involved in these orgs (Assad, Andrew Tate, Trump, Putin, etc etc etc). I was trying to get people to not starve and to build uo stores of gold and silver (you can get silver from collecting most silver colored US coins printed before 1964). I no longer care to keep warning people here. Either they know or they don’t. Either they understand the financial component or they don’t. I am just one person fighting against slave armies. It’s up to them to have wisdom and discretion.
It is now time for me to move on and make progress with like minded people who can do so. I do not have time to educate on the basics of basics anymore- that has passed. No more time.
The first person every abolitionist should free is themselves.
If you want a more-politically-censored environment, I guess you could try beehaw.org. They tend to enforce positivity and restrict some political stuff and are into creating a “safe space”.
We want to explicitly make a nice little corner of the internet where we can hide from racist, sexist, ableist, colonialist, homophobic, transphobic, and other forms of hateful speech. We want a space where people encourage each other, are nice to each other, are supportive and exploratory and playful.
It’s not really what I’m looking for in a home instance, and there’s a limited amount of activity there, but I’ll give that they seem to have a userbase that seems less suicidally-depressed than some other home instances on the Threadiverse. Note that they have defederated from lemmy.world, as they don’t feel that it fits with their policies, so you’ll have more-limited access to content than on most home instances. Also, I remember seeing that they were considering moving to some non-Lemmy platform (Pleroma? Can’t remember), so if you specifically want Lemmy, that might not work for you if they do such a move.
EDIT: If you take your requirements literally, I think that you’re going to have a hard time finding an existing instance that will fulfill all of them. Beehaw.org might be closer, but it’s just not going to get you that far. Like, you said that you want an instance with no libertarians. I lean right-libertarian, so any instance that I could use would already be violating your requirements. I think that such an instance would probably need to require users to up-front state their political views at registration time so that that information would be available, disallow users with banned political views from access, and only federate with a small, whitelisted set of instances. The closest thing to that, where I think you have admin-level policing of political views, is probably on the tankie-oriented instances, and you’ve also said that you object to tankies.
You could set up an instance yourself and only federate with a carefully-curated set of instances that have similar instance and federation rules. But that’s also going to obviously seriously limit the content available. Maybe hit !newcommunities@lemmy.world and try to promote it to any like-minded users.
I don’t actually care about censoring like that, I think most communities, if they speak up enough individually, create their own culture that is self enforcing as new people learn their roles. This is supported ny how users on different subreddits will adopt different cultures automatically without even knowing the rules. In the earlier days, this was when mods would simply DM you or comment to you to ask you to change your comment and explain why. There was a lot more grace and gentle enforcement/explanations rather than strict bans or complete removals, which helped cultire form as a lot of times mods would help with word choice.
Funny enough, reminds me of an adhd subreddit where the rule was that you couldn’t use the word “you” at all, because people with ADHD often have demand hypersensitivity triggered by the use of “you.” And no exceptions allowed because that’s confusing for English 2nd language speakers. They were always demanding edits lol
Even without all that, most people can pick up on culture just by the reactions of the users.
I am just looking for a space that has attracted like, queer anarchist scientists who like to talk also about politics, philosophy, economics, and understand trading stocks and how marketing and the news moves stocks. It’s a simple request (jk)
lemmy.blahaj.zone seems nice, though i’m on pawb.social and haven’t had any issues.
also, blahaj.zoje has a piefed instance as well, im fairly sure.
Removed by mod
I’ve been happy with sh.itjust.works
Agreed. Excellent instance with excellent admin team. Us users can be a bit awful, though.
Same. Nobody fucks with me here, and that’s just the way I like it.
