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?

    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.

        I can’t recall ever banning anyone because another instances mod said they were uncivil, most bans I’ve made have been for racism, misogyny or *phobia.

        If you had received a temp ban from whatever instance your account was on at the time, PieFed has a design choice where they never expire on our end so it would look like a perm ban?

          You have a short memory my friend. I’m not a racist, misogynist, bigot, *phobic, or PTB. So I guess you’re just part of the problem.

          I’d try to coin AAAB (all admins are bastards), but that’s just sounds like an adorable sheep bleating, and you are anything but.

          You gonna ban YourBestFriend? You would, wouldn’t you?

            Well if you provide the username I can look it up and see the reasoning.

            You gonna ban YourBestFriend? You would, wouldn’t you?

            Only if you go against the rules

                :bc_eyeroll: Riiight, if I wanted to ban you for your previous account I could have simply just done that. All the username does is verify your story because for now and with what I know of why I tend to ban users you sound extremely sus.

                  You can ban me for whatever. You don’t need to actually follow your rules lmfao, that’s for me to have to follow.

                  Eye. Roll. AAAB

                    I’m not above the instances rules.

                    And yes eye rolling at your needlessly antagonistic behavior. I’m not surprised you get kicked out of most spaces if this is how you act.

        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.
