What's the simplest, cheapest way to have a platform where I can post anything I want without being banned? (reddthat.com)

I've been banned from reddit, lemmy, and now piefed for posting ai generated content with a bot. I want to have a platform where I can send all the automated ai generated content I want, and do self promotion. What's the simplest, cheapest way to have a platform like that? I would like to complain about internet censorship due to surveillance capitalism, but it would be disingenuous when every corner of the internet does the same thing.

Ok there's enough samphappalāpā in this thread let me try a real answer.

You're not looking for a platform. Platforms aren't a necessary part of the internet, ask a millenial. They were created after the internet to add extra features like addictiveness and censorship.

What you want is a thing called a website

This requires hosting and a domain name

Some hosting services (e.g. GoDaddy) will impose censorship on you too. For example, they may remove content that is copyrighted in the USA.

njal.la is a pretty libertarian third-party host. Or you could host yourself; there is a Lemmy community about how to do that.

You have the option of writing HTML yourself or using a Content Management System

Good luck

I miss websites, like, the "under construction"-gif era websites about medieval swords or tv-show fandoms or such.

remember when you could actually find stuff on the internet? there would always be an open forum or website for that niche and the collected experience of the people in there.

everyone thought it was going to go so well before big money bought it out.
