Why do you keep recreating accounts with the same username?
You probably aren’t familiar with my saga, but here’s a quick rundown. Before the election, I refused to support either Biden/Harris or Trump. I advocated for third-party candidates. It seems silly now, but just a couple of months ago, that was a HUGE no-no on Lemmy.
People started calling me a bot, a nazi, a nazi-progammed bot(!), a Russian troll. Some even created elaborate stories about me living in Russia and getting paid in rubles to post on Lemmy. It was crazy. LMAO
After hundreds of complaints about me and being mad that I was still around, one guy even wrote a program to track me and offered it to other people to track me on Lemmy (Hi @pooperNickel@lemm.ee https://lemm.ee/u/pooperNickel). He was, and still is, really really mad about me not voting for Harris.
Eventually, they banned me from the .world instance, and then made a post celebrating my "demise." On top of that, people took over the communities I founded and deleted all my posts. With great glee! lol
Later when asked about why I was banned, admins accused me of "harassing" DM's but, mysteriously when I ask for proof of these, the people in charge just say "It's private--we can't show you."
I say just show those to all of Lemmy and hide the identity of the receiver, and at least show us what I said that was so bad or what they consider "harassing".
The real reason they don't show proof? There is none. Because I never sent harrassing emails. LMAO
But the beauty of the fediverse is its freedom. I moved to other instances, ones less censor-heavy, but many followed me there too, trying to get me banned again.
To avoid losing all my communities at once, I diversified and spread my name across multiple instances, so they can’t silence me with one action.
I know this sounds exaggerated, but it’s not. Just last week, a new thread was started to ban me again. Here are the links to the main threads:

Luckily the admins took my side, saw the witchhunter-ry aspect of continually tracking me instead of just blocking me, and stood up for me.
But since I have such a passionate "Hate and Destroy Monk" following, I have to keep things spread out.
Actually, I'm a very boring guy born and raised here in the US. I've never even been out of the country. Was a teacher assistant in a middle school until I retired last month. :)
So thank the .world community for inspiring me to be EVERYWHERE now. They should have just ignored me. lol
Pics in case my links don't work. Just do a search for the titles in your search bar and it will bring them up to:
I read your whole saga. And you pleaded that you just wanted into these instances for health and anarchy content.
Every time it's the same political type communities. [Remember your thread?] (https://slrpnk.net/post/15050192).
I know it's easy to fall back into the same behavior. You're relapsing and doing the same thing again. You have to cut all things that trigger the urge to post to politics communities if you want to be a better netizen.
Focus on the more positive communities.
Instance-based tho, friend. I have not posted anything overtly political on my slrpnk instance, just as I said I wouldn't.
I didn't "plead"; I use different instances for different things.
Some instances are anarchy-based, and I'm on several like that. One is vegan-based, and only focuses on vegan issues, so when I'm on that one, I only talk vegan stuff.
One instance is so anarchy, that I can't post socialist stuff on it. So I don't. One instance that I'm based on is only for literature stuff, so I only post writing stuff.
This instance is a general-based instance. So I can talk about anything I want or find interesting.
There is nothing negative here. I'm simply posting articles that I find interesting. I didn't write the articles. What makes you think this isn't a positive community?
You do realize that not every Lemmy HAS to be democrat or left-leaning right? This community is for people who may lean right and/or not mind Trump.
I also have a socialist community on this instance: Socialism@lemmyusa.com
You are free to start your own communities posting stuff you find interesting. As I am.
Thanks, friend!
