    I want to find a new home instance, just randomly picked this one when I signed up moving from reddit.

    Anybody got any suggestions or one’s to avoid?

      Personally I’d recommend picking an instance that at least has Hexbear and Lemmygrad blocked, as that removes 95% of the toxicity you’d see on the platform. You can check what an instance blocks by scrolling to the bottom of their main page and clicking the instances link.

      Sopuli.xyz is a really solid medium sized general instance, with good admins and an updated lemmy.

      Lemmy.cafe is a nice small instance (not much local activity, so you’ll need to rely on the All view and your subscriptions for that one).

      If you have affinity with Anarchism (or environmentalism or sailing the high seas), Slrpnk.net and lemmy.dbzer0 are both excellent.

      But if you’d like a more themed instance that appeals to a particular interest, by all means go for that instead. https://lemmyverse.net/ or the instance finder tool at https://join-lemmy.org/ are good places to find one. :)

      also @calcopiritus@lemmy.world

            Mark Felton Productions youtube channel recently covered the topic and it is a good place to enter the topic.

            TLDR: much of german oligarch class made their money from slave labour during third Reich, that money was then used to rebuilt west germany and their children are currently ruling it. Old Germany families were also were able to maintain ownership of key industrial enterprises, zero punishment.

            Allies allowed this to happen specifically, US, UK Swiss and Sweden with some further places like Argentina and Egypt.

            Reddit mods esp in EU focused subs will also ban these discussions, it is not just lemmy issue.

                “and constantly accusing an entire political party of being “regime whores””

                you are misrepresenting my thesis but banning me… 1 month ago WrenFeathers

                You admitted to shitposting. That’s why you’re banned. PoliticalMemes isn’t a shitpost community.

                And nothing was misrepresented. If you misspoke, the onus is on you to correct it. But you leaned into it- multiple times. 1 month ago sunzu2

                “You admitted to shitposting. That’s why you’re banned.” thats not why but that’s ok. i clearly state on multiple occasion within the thread that both sides are regime whores. you are misrepresenting my position… 1 month ago WrenFeathers

                That is absolutely why you’re banned. I’m the one that banned you. I get to qualify it- you don’t.

                Take a time out and chill. 1 month ago sunzu2

                You’re free to appeal if you think his was unfair. But as of now- it stays.

                And if you think I’m being biased, check the mod logs. I remove uncivil comments/posts only. Regardless of political bias. And if you knew how much of your stuff was reported that I/we left as is because it didn’t break rules, maybe you’d see things more evenly.

                Come back in a few days and follow the rules. 1 month ago sunzu2

                I am fine with a ban, but i don’t like having my core position being misrepresented by a mod after a ban. the regime whore term is not specific for either party, it covers both sides. your comment implies that I am siding with one party and i can’t correct the record. it aint right.

                My staff is reported because people don’t like the thesis and the delivery style, which is the entire point of the exercise here. People won’t like their opinions challenged, especially from unexpected vector. I don’t think that it violates actual rules with few exceptions (back and forth with people who do name calling). People are reporting me to censor the content so that’s something to consider from a mod perspective.

                Finally, shitposter is term dating back over 20 years, people regularly admit being shitposter. I have extensive posting history on this handle. I did not post in bad faith as suggested above. This is my thesis but I do keep it fun when off topic.

                Either way, appreciate the time and the response. 1 month ago WrenFeathers

                Trust me, I know why people report.

                Both sides if this debate report things they don’t like. And i HATE having to say “both sides.”

                You broke the rules.

                I don’t enjoy removing comments, let alone users from this community. But the rules are there for a reason.

                And yes… There are grey areas to them which in this, I try and exercise leniency.

                If it helps- in the future, prefix your comment with things like “I think,” or “it seem to me that” so that it is phrased as opinion and not fact.

                “It seems to be that liberals are ‘regime whores’”

                I may totally disagree, but I cannot remove an opinion so long as it remains civil. 1 month ago sunzu2

                So still no correction to the commemt misrepresenting my position? 1 month ago WrenFeathers

                I removed your comments based on what you said, not what you intended to say.

                Case closed. 1 month ago
