barsoap@lemm.ee 3 days agoMeh. I got sitebanned on lemmygrad on like day five.
OP is right in the sense that it isn’t hard to catch a ban on lemmy, also that there’s plenty of places that will ban you for completely contrary things (like, most places for denying genocide, lemmygrad for not denying genocide).
It does matter what you get banned for. And defending kiwifarms is a no-go for any civilised community.

The context behind the last part is that certain marginalized friends wanted someone on the inside to act as a buffer in case they come up in conversations, and it led to a whole debate about whether the intentions of the founders of a community, the intentions of the majority of a community, and the intentions of each individual in a community can be separated. I am an individual and don’t endorse the values the group is associated with. I previously used the analogy of an alternate timeline where nobody likes Uncle Iroh because he joined the fire nation military even though he never actually did any of the fighting. It’s an oversimplification to say I’m “defending kiwifarms”.
