Looking for an actual left leaning Lemmy instance

I originally signed up for lemmy about six months ago due to becoming outraged over reddit’s continual coddling of hard right and fascist powermods that use their authority to harass.

It was good here at lemmy.world for a long while until I started getting harassed by a 12 day old right leaning mod in /politics.

I posted a thread here about what to do and even got back a response from the site operator.

Which was shortly followed by a PM my thekingoflorida (the site operator) scolding me and threatening action for calling out the mods bad behavior in threads.

Reading the wind I realized lemmy.world is heading down the shitshow path that so many other online social forums have become and immediately deleted my account.

@thekingoflorida I do not want you to respond, I don’t care about your opinion, and if the fucking software would let me block you, I would have already.

So in short, I’m looking for a lemmy instance that has zero right wing users with admins that actually want to keep right wing forum manipulation off of their platform. I don’t care about ‘the marketplace of ideas’ or fairness in speech that tries to give space to fascist rhetoric in the guise of equality.

EVERY time they worm their ways in and have admin support, it ALWAYS railroads into what ruined reddit. And I’m tired of these shitstains ruining communities that I enjoy.

So, TL;DR: I’m looking for a lemmy instance with ZERO tolerance for anything right of Bill Clinton.

MightBe,

I want to give my side of the story.

I removed one of person’s comment on the political community because it was reported, from what I can recall, it was a very long, borderline QAnon level rant that was antagonizing other users for essentially not buying into their conspiracy theory, which we took very seriously here.

This person was not even banned, and the modlog can confirm that.

I have had literally zero interaction with this person in any form other than this single comment removal. I have never sent this person a single DM or reply, and I think our admins can confirm that.

When I woke up the next morning, I saw 4 already removed reply to my comments from this person, and it appears that this person has already purged their own account.

rusticus,

Let us know where you land if you find a community that doesn’t cater to the crazy fascists.

Mmm? I don’t remember ever scolding someone. If you feel like I did that was probably me being Dutch. Could you specify what I said that made you angry?

Thekingoflorda,
@Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world avatar

Okay, so I read through some of the replies and I think I know what exchange you are referring to (not gonna doxx your ofcourse). I was honestly trying to ascertain if that mod had abused their power. You spammed the accusation through different communities, which is against the rules. I removed those comments, but I was still trying to work with you to investigate that particular mod.

Fuck_Lemmy,

You spammed the accusation through different communities, which is against the rules

Except it isn’t?

Do not engage in content manipulation such as posting spam content, vote manipulation through using several user accounts or consistently down-voting a user.

Rule 5 of our policy. More information here: legal.lemmy.world/fair-use/

Notice how the won’t engage with you at all because the are clearly in the wrong someone hurt their feelings so the broke every rule on the instance throwing a tantrum and are surprised when the get repercussions for it.

Fuck_Lemmy,

No I was having brunch, I’ve already replied to every post in this thread.

Aren’t you the sensitive bombast.

bradboimler,
@bradboimler@startrek.website avatar

Wow, you really need to learn what the definition of sensitive is you’re the one getting butt hurt over that comment therefore you’re the sensitive one.

Its always fun watching people fight over how pure their beliefs are.

Fuck_Lemmy,

That’s not actually what’s going on here but I understand why your limited reading comprehension leads you to that assumption.

Ziggurat,

Do you have example of right winged posts on Lemmy. ?

I sometimes have the impression that the Fediverse political diversity goes from Soft social-democrat who are ready to make a deal with liberals, like accepting that billionaire can own companies if union are powerful enough to hard-liner Marxist who thing that we should nationalize the mean of production, jails the billionaire, and implement a maximum salary, and that the political debate is more We all agree that Climate change, social issues and societal issues are important However, in a democratic system we cannot do everything at the same time so by which one do we start ?

But basically, It’s hard to find, Liberals supporting free market, and thinking that Von der Leyen manages the EU properly. If you remove a few tankies who think that Putin, Orbàn, and Erdogan are nice guys, there isn’t much support for right wing government and policies. I am glad to not have all the right winger from reddit, but feel like it’s a bit too skewed.

Fuck_Lemmy,

idgaf about any right wing posts they have the same right to be here if they behave, that’s not the reason for my leaving.

I was pretty clear in my post that I was being harassed by a moderator, and they were using their mod powers to shape a narrative that is manifestly anti-liberty.

This has nothing to do with anything any regular user has posted or replied with.

Sounds to me like the instance you're looking for is Blahaj Lemmy over at lemmy.blahaj.zone.

Fuck_Lemmy,

I put in my application so here’s hoping.

lqdrchrd,

lemmy.blahaj.zone sounds like a good fit for you. It’s an instance predominately set up as a refuge for trans people, but accepts anyone respectful. The admins defederate from anything offensive which keeps it a safe place for people who need it. I’m not trans but basically signed up here because I feel the same as you, I come here to unwind before bed and want to avoid inflammatory shit. It’s a great little community.

accepts anyone respectful

This was an appropriate qualifier for this thread

Fuck_Lemmy,

lemmy.blahaj.zone

Its funny but it seems like the trans community has some of the best no-hate zones, thanks for the suggestion and you are the first one to make it for that site.

Going to check it out now.

teamevil,

I don’t know shit about kingoflorida but I’m currently stuck in this neo fascist state and I sure as hell am doing what I can to fix it… consider my vote his anti vote!

Edit: One day folks will learn that tolerance cannot include intolerance… intolerance will spread like cancer and choke the life out of freedom.

Tolerance was and remains a peace treaty: you be tolerant, and we'll tolerate you. Once someone opts to break the treaty, they receive no further protection from it.

I always recommend kbin to every question. 100% no complaints so far

Fuck_Lemmy,

kbin

I think that’s the only other alternative I’ve heard of before now. Appreciate the suggestion and going to make an account now.

Drusas,

kbin.social

Lightrider,

The fuckingcapitalists and goddamnedfascists are everywhere. They have banned me from several subs too. Good luck.

Fuck_Lemmy,

I appreciate it, and hope the site admin gets their head out of their ass before this place becomes unsalvageable

antik,
@antik@lemmy.world avatar

Don’t worry about that you and your alts are banned. I didn’t ban this account yet so you can answer if it is ok to post your conversation with thekingoflorda here.

Fuck_Lemmy,

I don’t have any alts, and as mentioned earlier I don’t plan on hanging around any longer than it takes to fully explore the alternatives.

You can give all the space and protection to fascists you feel like without my presence getting in the way by calling it out.

antik,
@antik@lemmy.world avatar

You have moira_mayhem on Kbin and LW and this account. So yes, you have alts.

We don’t give a platform to fascists that’s why we defederated from those instances. But what you want is an echo chamber, I’m sure the instance you applied for will be better suited. But that account will be banned from this instance as well.

nooneescapesthelaw,

Wdym site admin?

Fuck_Lemmy,

There is a user account that is known as the ‘instance operator’, it is the default first site admin created on install.

It’s the best analogy to a ‘site owner’ as far as I can see.

Lemmy.world’s instance operator is thekingoflorida, for example.

Thekingoflorda, (edited )
@Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world avatar

I am not, haha. I was appointed by Antik, I’m way to dumb to start my own instance.

Fuck_Lemmy,

That’s really funny because when I spoke to you about emailing info.lemmy.world, you spoke in the first person.

Also I asked you not to reply to the thread it seems you just can’t not be a raging asshole, can you?

Thekingoflorda,
@Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world avatar

I meant to speak as part of the admin team here on lemmy.world. If I didn’t make that clear, I apologize for that, I guess.

You are accusing me of things I didn’t do in my mind, did you really expect me to not defend myself? I am not angry or anything, just confused about this whole ordeal.

HootinNHollerin, (edited )

the communist tankie ones are lemmygrad and hexbear and to a significantly lesser extent lemmy.ml. I consider hexbear super authoritarian tankies and not really abiding by the socialist ideology most of the time.

Someone else mentioned Beehaw which is an instance that is all about being polite. Iirc they defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.

Your username is fuck lemmy, pretty agro stance to start imo. Best of luck

Fuck_Lemmy,

I consider hexbear super authoritarian

Ok then they’re off the list. I appreciate the context, other users replied with just the name. Their community list was giving me massive red flags so I’m glad you were able to comment on that

Someone else mentioned Beehaw

So far I think that’s going to be my choice. Submitted my application about 20 mins ago.

Your username is fuck lemmy, pretty agro stance to start imo. Best of luck

My original deleted username was nothing like this. I made the username as a throwaway to express my frustration with lemmy.world’s site admin.

From what I've seen, I sincerely think you'll like it at Beehaw. They're an ok bunch of progressive folks who refuse to let it become a nazi bar. I can get behind that. Have fun!

Fuck_Lemmy,

You are probably right about the fit, made an application for an account and we’ll see how it goes

DessertStorms,
DessertStorms avatar

Just a heads up - beehaw are liberals at best (with the whole "faux civility" bs, and from my experience, an odd tolerance for tankies), not leftists.

I agree with others that blahaj is a good bet, I'm on kbin myself, and have not had problems with the instance (individual users sure, but I just report where I can and block), so maybe give it a look too (kbin also has other instances like lemmy does, but I've not looked in to any of them yet)

Fuck_Lemmy,

I feel as soon as my application for blahaj is approved that I will be mainly there though I made kbin and beehaw logins just in case.

DessertStorms,
DessertStorms avatar

Sounds like you've got all bases covered! 👍

Fuck_Lemmy,

I made this user account as a throwaway specifically after the instance admin actively supported am activist mod that was repeatedly harassing me, it was supposed to be fuck_lemmy.world but apparently you can’t use punctuation in usernames.

HootinNHollerin, (edited )

beehaw defederated from lemmy world

antik,
@antik@lemmy.world avatar

Correct

antik,
@antik@lemmy.world avatar

The admin you had a talk with posted the conversation and he was VERY fair towards you.

Fuck_Lemmy,

Sorry but no, and no amount of magical language will change the fact that I called out harassment, violated zero community rules, and was threatened with censure.

MoistWanted,

Lol magical language. I GO BACK TO FARK WAH WAH

Someone point this man to a soap opera instance, stat!

Stovetop,

Try Hexbear, I think you’d be a good fit.

Fuck_Lemmy,

Hexbear

After one look at their community list, hell FUCK no.

Just because I don’t want to deal with magapedes doesn’t mean I’m a tankie

bradboimler,
@bradboimler@startrek.website avatar

Hexbea

Also aren’t all Lemmy instance Federated so the will still run into those users 😂

Fuck_Lemmy,

I don’t care about right wing users, hell I’m even willing to talk with them.

My problem is right wing activist mods and the site admin that supported them.

Federated servers cannot exert mod authority on other instances, did you not bother reading my post at all?

bradboimler,
@bradboimler@startrek.website avatar

Honestly, I’m just here for the funny comments that is all good luck.

Fuck_Lemmy,

Then probably go browse a humor community instead of an informative one.

bradboimler,
@bradboimler@startrek.website avatar

No, this one works just fine. Thank you though.

Fuck_Lemmy,

Then don’t be so surprised when people point out your shitposting

bradboimler,
@bradboimler@startrek.website avatar

If you call that shit posting then I see why you don’t fit in anywhere.

Fuck_Lemmy,

You really have zero idea of how many hundreds of online communities I have been part of since the late 80s…

bradboimler,
@bradboimler@startrek.website avatar

Oh wow really no one cares 😂 also I see you ran from all of them as well from hurt feelings 😂
