Am strugling to find some good lemmy server that will not take 15 minutes just to load home page.. That will not ban me for saying my opinion freely. That wont log me out randomly for no reason.

If you have some sujections please do tell.

That will not ban me for saying my opinion freely.

That depends very much on your opinion and how you choose to express it. Can you give us examples of how and where your freely expressed opinion has run afoul of moderation before?

    Cant remember now exactly, but i newer offend anyone, dont use bad words ever, and just speak what i think it is, newer convincing people that am 100% right on any topic. And i still got problems whenever i talk about this corupt system we live in. When ever i speak about big companies doing bad stuff and similar..

    That sentence of yours I quoted above is a solid red flag for me. Your reply now barely answers the "how" question. You didn't bother answering the "where" one. Because there are communities that have rules to avoid politics all together or to stay on topic. So proselytising about the corrupt system or terrible companies even in the most polite terms in a community that focuses, say, on cute bunny pictures will naturally get the moderators going. Another possibility is still that you haven't quite expressed your opinions in the innocuous way you think you have when moderators have stepped in in the past.

    Also consider that a lot of the instances that don't do any or very little moderation tend to be isolated. By which I mean other instances won't federate with them.

    Of the big instances, Lenmy dot ml has a reputation for being moderated in a biased way. So maybe stay away from there. And read the community rules before you post.

    It doesn’t seem like you’re being banned for saying your opinion freely.

    It seems like you’re having posts removed because you don’t follow the rules and when someone points it out you choose to fight about it instead of fixing the problem on your end.

    That event, nine days ago in your public modlog, took place on the lemmy.world server and you’re registered on lemmy.wtf. Changing servers won’t remove the world/c/asklemmy mods’ ability to enforce their rules.

    Unless you’re talking about something else it seems like the problem here is you. Change your behavior or post places with different rules.

    I didnt say anything bad ever, so why do you speak about some imaginary problem that quote i had 9 days ago in such a shady way, almost like hinding what was the problem exactly??

    Cmon say it loud and be up front about it, what was that exactly? What topic, what post? Because i honestly have no idea what are you talking about..

    Your modlog is public. Scroll to the bottom, click modlog and search your name. Removed posts are listed there with the reasons for removal. 12 now days ago your post about YouTube was removed from the lemmy.world asklemmy community because its title didn’t have a question mark.

    I am not able to successfully link removed posts but I can look through your comment log by clicking on your name and scrolling down.

    Nothing I’m saying is imagined or hidden. In my comment you replied to I said all the same things.

    This is not an attack. I am explaining to you why the things you brought up are happening because you erroneously believe changing servers would change the situation.

    Consider changing your behavior to avoid this problem in the future.

    Wait if youtube does shady suf which is a fact at this point and not my opinion, thats ok. But if i say youtube is doing it than i get banned.. Because i didnt have a question mark? Well is this a forum for people or what? This is a place where people should write their opinions and be wrong about stuff, this is our right. Its not a television its internet forum..

    When you look at the rule list for the lemmy.world asklemmy community it says post titles need to end in a question mark. You were told in that thread that it didn’t have one and didn’t take any steps to remediate it. You have the capacity to edit the body and title of posts you make.

    Here are some ways you could have rephrased your post title as a question in compliance with the rules: Is youtube doing some shady stuff? Has anyone else noticed shady stuff going on with youtube? I think youtube is doing some shady stuff, does anyone else?

    You had a post removed because you didn’t follow the rules, not because of your opinions.

    You were not banned. Having a post removed isn’t a ban. I bet if you made the same post with one of the rule following titles I suggested, it would stay up.

    No one is judging and punishing you for your opinions.

    Perhaps, but when you ask why something is happening, and every response is the same, it's probably going to keep happening until you acknowledge that all these other people might actually know what they are talking about.

    Its not just about why its happening its about is this ok? You are telling me that its fine to get removed for asking perfectly normal questions? And to share your thoughts? Ok than i will just go to reddit and know that free speach isnt allowed. Why would i bother with lemmy than?

    I haven't had any of the problems you're complaining about. But, if Lemmy isn't suiting your needs, then you shouldn't use it, but from what I can see about your removed posts, you're essentially showing up for book club and talking about movies. I'm sure they were perfectly fine opinions on those movies, but the people at book club want to talk about books.

    No wrong comunity isnt an issue here. If i posted something wrong than simple remove post, dont ban me for posting something out of place. Besides original post was olvejs in correct comunity. Reposts could strand in some wrong one The reason you dont have a problem is because you talk about dandylion stuff. Like this new tv show is awsome. But if you start kritiks about big tech companies you will start to feel same problems. So is this the world we are fighting for? World with no free speach, and no freedom? Am not fighting for that, thats for sure..

    I'm definitely confused then, because as a whole, Lemmy has no love for big tech. It started as a Linux forum! Youd be more likely to get banned for singing the praises of Apple, Google, or any AI, than for criticizing them. Clearly, you think you are being targeted, but I highly recommend you pay more attention to the context of the conversation and the words you use to communicate your ideas.

    I'm just talking generally, I don't even know what the removed comments were, so I can't argue the point, but just pay attention to HOW you are speaking, be open to criticism and you'll be far less frustrated.

    Am not frustrated, am a bit sad that more people dont use lemmy. And bealeave me tenticales of big tech are in here also, as well as in many open source projects. Trying to ruin everything. I was following youtube channels for tech for years and learned how to build my own pc but i had never heard of linux in any of those places nor about open source software. I didnt even know what is that. So thats no coincidence. All those tech youtubers are just main stream grogling ducks that care not to teach real knowledge to regular people. And that whole situacion is not coincidence. Big tech dont want you to know about linux and open source software. And am just talking about that to other people, am not frustrated and im not mean to anyone here.

    Just run your own server then. Nobody will ban you from it...

    Of course, you can still be banned from other server's communities.

    Same, now that mander.xyz is down, I need an instance that avoids drama and is federated with everyone and also not blocked by the great firewall of china, since I'm headed back there in a couple weeks

    Depends on what opinions you have. I use Lemmy.ml, Lemmygrad.ml, and Hexbear.net, and all 3 have good uptime and don't censor me, because I align with communist beliefs.

    Definitely not Lemmy.ml. I've been censored here multiple times. In every case, they just delete the material, and give me no reason, recourse or even acknowledge the censorship. They are as bad as Reddit.

    They even demodded me from a lemmy sub I created, because they didn't like my political bent. At least they did it early, so I wouldn't waste 15 years commenting and posting, just to see it all deleted later.

    I have never been censored on Lemmy.ml, so I can only wonder what your "political bent" is that they disagreed with.

    Mod logs are public. There are limitations because all moderation actions will not be shown on all instances, but where were you banned from?

    I see 4 removed posts on lemmy.world:

    A few more removed posts on your home instance:

    Nothing different on my instance or lemmy.ml.

    Are you sure you were banned?

  • Did you see reasons were given in the mod log?

    I can't see the posts or what comm they are in so I can't tell you if I agree with the reason for most. I can tell you that this post did not belong in Shower Thoughts so the removal makes sense and I can guess the "unrelated to Linux" reason for the post about free speech seems like it's probably a fair assessment too.
