There are instances that federate together as a single sort of entity.
So, are there other entities? Meaning, is there a group of Lemmy instances somewhere outside of the existing ones we see here?
And, how do I get there, and which one don’t have people from the USA?
Edit, image example
fwiw i agree, the internet could do less with propaganda from world superpowers. If what you're saying is true, i'd just find an instance that does not listen to foreign admins regarding bans; and for users i'd just block ones you do not like. no need to isolate yourself from the community any further, we're already plenty isolated from not being on the big social medias. quokk looks like a good place for you.
Don't how how the lemmy census is, but unless the instance refers to a specific country like lemmy.ca or feddit.org i would imagine that the split between "big three" and other countries is roughly the same, regardless if they federate or not.
Quokk.au perm banned one of my accounts when a mod from sh.itjust.works complained about me being uncivil. What’s funny is I never really participated on quokk. So the admin on that instance banned me for someone else’s vague “uncivil” rule. I guess I understand the desire not to be an admin and have users on your server causing trouble. Especially if it’s one of the abusive admins.
The trouble with just participating on one instance though, is the users might be elsewhere. A large instance like .world (and ml) has more leverage than another instance and that is wrong.
So, there is no instance that won’t ban me eventually.
can't have your cake and eat it too. the way federation works means bigger instances will always have more influence, but it's a double edged sword. They cannot defederate from everything or it just turns into a normal centralized reddit knockoff, so the best thing to do is not to give in to their demands, if it gets bad enough the users will move; something else will become the next "flagship instance".
nothing is exactly stopping you from jumping instances each time until you find someone that does not care for petty cross-site drama. username and comment history goes bust, but maybe that's a good thing; less traceability.
I guess I’ll just keep on getting a new account every two weeks like I have done for the past 3 years 😂
Welcome to fukkkin Lemmy.
Have you tried being banned on piefed yet for some novelty? xd
Going for round 3
