The more people see the engagement, the more chance of them asking “what is that?” It won’t be long until the apps are better, and links to articles could be less likely to get suppressed than migration memes.

I can only speak for myself, but I only saw Mastodon as viable after I started being exposed to the content there…

    Just out of curiosity. I’ve been banned from Reddit about 10 times now. I suspect, but it has never been confirmed, that it is because I am able to articulate various logical arguments against “transgenderism” and gender ideology in general.

    Is kbin.social a place where I can speak freely or will I be banned here as well?

    Still learning kbin, so I’m not sure how to create a thread. Just making a comment here so get a quick answer, if possible.

      I’m sure you were banned 10 times cause you “are able to articulate logical arguments against transgenderism” and not being a hateful annoying cunt. I tip my fedora to you. I think some better advice for you is stop obsessing over trans people to such a degree that your comments get you banned from a platform 10 times. But to answer your question there are some instances that will not ban you for that stuff, but most of the big ones are moderated and tend to be left leaning so you probably will be banned for transphobia.

        Come on now…

        I also strongly disagree with what this user says and I get your anger, but is it really necessary to be insulting? I feel like simply downvoting and otherwise ignoring it would be healthier for this community at large.

        Let’s not make this place like reddit or any bigger social network, please.

      To make a thread, go to the community you wanna post on, then click Create a new article. It’s confusing I know haha but after I learned that, I haven’t had problems. They might change how that part is organized too to be more clear

      It depends on the moderators of the “magazine” (community) you are posting in. For example if you post your topic in my Pomeranians community, I might remove your post and give you the reasons for removal, but I probably won’t ban you unless you go off topic repeatedly.

      Another type of banning is called “instance ban”. Instance bans are when a user is banned from an entire instance by the instance administrator. This means that the user can no longer access any of the communities or content on that instance. However, the user can still access other instances, unless they are also banned from those instances. Instance bans can be temporary or permanent, depending on the severity of the violation and the discretion of the administrator.

      kbin.social instance administrators seem to be reasonable people. So I doubt that you would get banned if you follow the rules.

      Lemmy.ml on the other hand…

      Yes, reddit bans people for hate speech. And why are you going to every sub and thread talking about this? It’s almost like it’s not just a casual conversation topic but you’re actively spreading hate propaganda. Gee I wonder WHY you keep getting banned.

      Maybe don’t make political talking points from a hate group your entire personality.

      Well, kbin is federated with different communities that have their own rules. Just don’t be a dick about it and bully people.

      @haughty_thoughts

      dw bro, we aint chasin off smart-talkin intellectuals like yerself

      On the other hand, people who want to start inflammatory political/sociological arguments in places where they don’t belong - like this thread - will find themselves facing a crowd of people with pitchforks, regardless of whether or not the person is well-spoken or the argument well-articulated.
