DBZero(and Blahaj) have skin so thin that a bible page across the arm causes bloodletting.
I’m surprised the owners don’t divvy out ban quotas per month. Half of the users they ban aren’t even conservatives, who just had logical misunderstandings with an admin one day; wannabe couch revolutionaries looking for targets in the absence of anything real to do.
Blahaj has a no tolerance policy on trans rights, from what I understand, and I think they like how they run their stuff. Maybe you know that already, but if not, maybe that’s helpful? It’s not so much thin skin as “we’re here for the purpose of not seeing that kinda stuff, so we block it here”.
DB0 is legitimately one of the coolest places on the modern internet, I’m curious to hear what kinds of things you’ve seen bans for. The admin/host (by the same name) seems to have very rational, reasonable takes toward moderation, and he values transparency and community feedback. Frankly from my own (instance-level, not community or thread) observations, he seems like a model of high-quality moderation. Your experience sounds off to me, but I hope that doesn’t come across as an accusation, I don’t intend one.
Blahaj, I kind of understand. Although I’d prefer if you were to have an LGBTQ+ safe place instance, that the communities primarily on there are LGBTQ+ communities. I don’t think I was banned on DB0 by the instance, but multiple communities which seemed to have the same mod.
I think it’s absolutely ridiculous that you cannot be conservative on [email protected] , they’re basically just name squatting. They banned me from there because I was calling out a post attacking religion. I wasn’t even being that conservative.
You can be conservative, you just cannot be an ass. Unfortunately, it is rather difficult for conservatives to not be proper conservatives and instead they often turn to fascism like Trump and Musk proclaim.
Being a conservative is about prioritising the status quo. It is not about returning to the middle ages with a police state of witchhunting and mass murder, which is what fascists and reactionaries want.
I really don’t understand that comm either, but I haven’t looked too closely cuz I’m not that interested. I also moved off .world entirely for my accounts because I don’t like some of their moderation stances. I understand why they have them and don’t begrudge them for it, to be clear. But I do eye them warily as a kind of emerging de facto instance in some ways (AKA potential for more centralization than seems wise, given their need or desire to comply with certain local laws that limit speech).
It would be nice if some of them(like my previous alt), were actually proven to be conservatives to begin with so they didn’t draw the attention of keyboard warriors for the misuse of a pronoun.
Blahaj kicked me out of 196 on Matrix just for being straight.

Conservative was reclaimed from the hatemongers so it could be used to mock them.

Or maybe the ““conservatives”” are the actual snowflakes they complain about.
Maybe those fascists should gtfo and try not shooting and killing women and queers, and so on?

Pretty sure Blåhaj doesn’t kick out people like that. It may be that you used a slur, were being an ass with your faith, or whatever.
Have you ever tried being nice to people? It does wonders.
